Websites
The importance of having a website cannot be emphasised enough. Your website is equivalent to your shop window. This is what people see when they search for you. This is often the first impression they have of you and your business.
The last thing you want, is an untidy, disorganised and un-user-friendly website. If your website doesn’t flow, there is every chance you will lose your audience.
Your website does not necessarily have to be all singing and all dancing, but you do need it to look professional and up to date. And don’t forget, websites aren’t just for professionals. All businesses should have a website. The online presence through your website enables you to reach your audience and tells everyone you actually exist. This may seem obvious, but it’s surprising the number of businesses and services not being promoted online.
As a business owner, it’s your responsibility to tell the world about your business and what it offers!
Costs of a website
Websites can cost any price! If you want a bespoke website, a programmer could charge into the thousands. And this is absolutely the correct route to go down for some businesses.
However, many small businesses especially, won’t be able to afford these prices to start off with. And that’s fine too. But they still need a “Shop Window”. That’s where Assistify can help.
Wix
If your business requires a simple but professional feel to your website, Wix may be the way to go. It is a much more affordable option, but without losing the look and feel of a clean, easy to use website. It will still be within your branding your business will shine through.
A Wix website can be built and designed by anyone. You don’t need any particular expertise. However, there are certain attributes required. You need patience and an idea of how you want to present your content. But most of all, time to do it!
If you already have a website that you are fond of but needs updating, that’s fine. It can be easily replicated, but brought to life after a bit of Assistify pizzazz!
Maintaining your website
Your website being hosted in Wix enables changes to be made easily. Pages can be added and information amended. Or if you need added features such as a Booking System, Assistify can implement them.
If you would prefer to take ownership once it has been created, that is perfectly fine too. Assistify wants whatever is suited to your needs.
Images
Great looking, eye catching images are extremely important in a website. You do not want them appearing as an afterthought, or any old picture being thrown on. They need to look like they belong, and most importantly in my opinion, it is essential they are of high resolution. You do not want an amateur looking website.
Assistify will only use images that are of high quality and are fully licenced for re-use. There are so many pictures available, which are free of charge to use. However, if you are willing to splash out a little bit extra, Assistify is sure to find that perfect image you have in your head.
It is a great idea to have a picture of the person behind the business on your website, and having a professional to take the flawless headshot is something to think about. Assistify teams up with fantastic photographers if you need recommendations.
Domain Hosting
When hosting your website, it’s important to get the right domain name. This will apply to the address people use to view your website and also to the email addresses that you have for people to connect with you. If you’ve got a website, there’s really no reason to keep using that old Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo or other email address.
