5. Ok I’m convinced but where do I start and what is involved to get a website up and running?
Firstly decide what your website will offer to users, will it be a marketing tool to promote your company, will it be a product/services catalogue, will it be used to sell products direct to consumers etc. Perhaps it will be all these things, but the success of your website will be based on how clearly you define and plan its content. Too many companies create websites that look flashy but have no benefit or depth of content to the user browsing it. Secondly decide and choose an available domain name, its always a good idea to use keywords in your domain name that either relate to your company or relate to services you provide.
