Creating a new or first website for your business can seem like a daunting task. There’s a lot that you have to do in order to make sure you do it right and set your website up for success.
First, you need to figure out if you need a new website. Then you need to think about what the website is going to do and how it’s going to help your business. Next, you need to figure out if you’re going to try to build it yourself or hire a web developer — and if so, you need to find a web developer.
There’s also the process of actually building the site, from design and development to creating the content needed for the website. Finally there’s the launch of the website and post-launch website care.
This learning section will walk you through the entire process so that you can know what you’re getting yourself into. There are posts, videos and free resources that will help guide you through this journey so that you can build your new website with confidence.
