The reason why people put up a business is because they think they have a great idea which they thought would sell. However, what they do not know is that it is often times much better to research on what others deemed as a good idea before starting off with a business.

How a Custom Designed Website Can Help Your Business

Written by Sherry Holub

Over repparttar

years,

internet has grown into a marvelous avenue to promote your business. In my last article, "Why Your Business Needs to Have an Internet Presence" (http://www.jvmediadesign.com/info37.html), I discussed 5 valid reasons why your business needs a website. In this article, I discuss some things to avoid and how a custom, professional website can help your business succeed.

Professional is repparttar 145911 key. Remember, repparttar 145912 internet has a global reach. Some of your new potential clientele may be learning of your business for repparttar 145913 first time by visiting your website and repparttar 145914 old cliché, "you never get a second chance to make a first impression", still rings true.

When a business makes repparttar 145915 decision to gain an internet presence, whether they are repparttar 145916 largest corporation or repparttar 145917 smallest home business, they may be tempted to take what appears to be repparttar 145918 "easy way" to get repparttar 145919 company website up and running fast. The three major potential pitfalls here are:

1)Some hosting comes with "do it yourself" capabilities and pre-made templates. Although this is a great way to upload photos of your summer vacation for your family and friends to see, this is not a good way to make that great first impression for your business. In short, these "solutions" really do not present a professional image, and often use very minimal templates and overall poor layout and design.

2)Many companies now sell website "templates" for low cost, making it easy for you to get up and running quickly. While this is true (you can get up and running quickly and many of these companies do sell more professional designs), you run repparttar 145920 risk of other businesses using that SAME design. And to buy a "unique" copy of repparttar 145921 template repparttar 145922 cost is often just as, or more expensive, than if you were to hire a professional company to create a custom design for you.

3)Complete websites for $100! This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I have actually seen advertisements for complete websites for very low prices. You must remember that you are investing in your business when you decide to have a custom website developed, and you really do get what you pay for. A professional design firm creates original designs, from scratch, tailor-made for each individual client - and repparttar 145923 prices for that work can vary a lot, but do expect to pay a reasonable amount for repparttar 145924 services.

These three potential pitfalls aside, repparttar 145925 process of getting your business onto repparttar 145926 World Wide Web does not have to be a confusing, time-consuming, and costly affair. Below is a succinct outline of repparttar 145927 process.

1)First, you need to design on your domain name for your website. Avoid names with "-" in them and very long names. Try to be as succinct as possible. It is easiest for your visitors to remember a URL that is your company name, or at repparttar 145928 very least, keywords that describe your company. For instance, if your business is ABC Accounting, you could consider abcaccounting.com or something such as accountingservice.com. You may find that your first (and second!) choice for a domain name may already be taken, so you may have to get creative. Just remember that a domain name that reflects your business is key.
