Editor's Notes
- What do these people have in common?
- Most people realise they need to get online, but what many are unsure of, is the web presence that’s right for them. Is it a social media profile? A do-it-yourself website builder, a blog or an eShop? Maybe even a web hosting package of some sort? This workshop is aimed at helping you uncover the web presence that’s right for you.
- If you don’t get your idea out there somebody else will – how many times have you seen someone else’s idea and thought, oh I had that idea ages ago but did nothing with it Ideas die if they’re not actioned – are not just nice notions that run through your mind from time to time they arrive to be brough to life The world is waiting – it’s actually not just about you but also about the people although that your business could touch

- Not only did we realise that small businesses were not getting online, that many that do are not doing such a great job Which is why these mistakes are so common… Bad design – just plain ugly Poor navigation – navigation is a roadmap to your content, sometimes it is impossible to navigate a site, know what’s there and where to go to find what Clutter just too much to take in No headline, no about us, no phone number? People still want basic things like a telephone no. and email address Auto sounds, pop-ups, flashing images… It can be tempting to just get something up – something is better than nothing right? Wrong People simply don’t trust businesses with poor looking sites because the see it as a direct reflection of your professionalism, competence and security Truth be told, a poor looking site can be as bad as not having a sight, because once perceptions are made about your business and your brand that can be hard to change.

- Your Website You don’t have to have a super pretty and fully branded website. In fact, something simple and straight to the point might serve you better, especially in your startup days. The website should, though, be fully fleshed out with your manifesto, details of your products or services, contact information and a solid method for processing orders. It is important that you have your own domain name and email set up and that your hosting provider is able to handle a sudden influx of traffic in the event that your soft launch goes better than you had hoped. Market, Market, Market Yourself A lot of entrepreneurs wait until they get they launch their companies to start marketing and branding themselves. This is one of the worst things you can do! It’s much better to start building up attention and demand for your products and services before you officially launch your company. Market your soft launch for what it is: a soft launch. It might even help to call it a “beta test.” If you’ve launched other products or companies in the past you can build upon those reputations. Even if you haven’t, you should still start marketing yourself and your expertise so that there is a demand and an audience for what you’re offering…when you’re ready to officially sell it.
- 1. To-do list You have to have one. I structure mine with daily tasks but you may find that a weekly list works better. Another option is to organize your to-do list by project or client. 2. Outsource list Just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. I get it, control is a difficult thing to give up -- especially when we're talking about your business. You’ll do whatever it takes to make sure it’s successful. So why not give the to-do list to someone else? 3. To-become list I’m a big fan of Oprah’s mantra: “You become what you believe.” Once you set an intention to do something it becomes so much easier to attain it. And taking it one step further and writing it down can really seal the deal. In fact, Dr. Gail Matthews, a professor at the Dominican University of California found that writing down goals will make you 33 percent more likely to achieve them.
- The domain is not just for a website but for email also .com is the international standard Choose a name that represents your business, keep things simple for customers to remember, make it easy for users to return A recent study by Zogby Analytics indicated that small businesses had experienced a 42% rise in sales last year after they switched to a professional email address. with a professional email address, these businesses had a 60% increase in customer engagement, which is a critical bridge to closing a sale.
- SEO Compliances Ensure all the primary and frontline attributes of web design, particularly SEO. Even if a higher charge is incurred, the startup enterprises should try and engage the best web designers to obtain the frontline web design services of age. The SEO compliance is a must and should be performed through high standards determined by apps like Google Analytics and others so that super visibilities are rendered. Local listing For the startups, ‘local listing’ is a must phenomenon as it causes high knowability quotients for the brand in the area of its existence and operations. Local listing is fast catching concept and has become a necessary and fine attribute of refined SEO services on account of the fact the next generation search engine maneuvers take into account the local listing of the web addresses in addition to the earlier basic parameter of ‘keywords’. Local listing is ensured both by leveraging the service from dedicated local listing sites and also by the social networking sites of relevance and resonance. Always ensure mechanisms for popular inputs like comments and others at your web pages. Get automated backups from your hosting provider Only when you are paying for a backup service does this become their duty – meaning you don’t have to worry about the safety of your online business content and files.
