Tips On Creating Your Business Website

Today in business it is very important to have a business website, one that really speaks highly of you and your company, one that resembles your company well and intrigues the prospects visiting the site. I recently found an article on SmallBizBee with what i think are some really great tips on creating your business website.
Take the guess work out of your links. One of my biggest issues like many others is i will not click a link unless i know exactly where it will take me, so make sure you are clear about where your link will take your prospects.
Don’t over due to color on your website. This isn’t when you were little and anything you made was considered to be a work of art to mom, your followers don’t want to be overloaded by you using every color in the rainbow, it will turn their brains to a spiral mush.
Include Key Words in your homepage content. This is not your web designer’s job, so you can’t blame them for not doing it. Again, they don’t know your business and wouldn’t have the slightest clue what words would make the most sense to include on your homepage. Key Words are those words your users will type in search engines to find you…or your competitors.

I think there is a lot more to be discussed here. The website is the biggest asset to a small business owner. I also think you need to make it clear that website design is multi-faceted, not just SEO, not just visuals.
I like what you have written, but I would suggest you proofread here and there. Makes it look more professional.

And does anyone know of any website designer who doesn’t know about SEO? I don’t.

Sahail – Most designers know about SEO, yes.
But most of them don’t know enough, are not experts, and do not keep up to date with the constant changes in search engine algorithms. Most designers do not consider SEO to be part of the design.

That’s very true, without goals your site can meander and that becomes confusing to the viewer. The Design of a website is not very important but would be a plus . You should be more focused on creating SEO-Friendly content for your site. It’s a given that no site can get lots of traffic (and therefore, earn money) without content. All content, no matter how poorly presented, will contain certain keywords and phrases which appear throughout. It is these repeating words and phrases that draw the attention of search engines.
