Know Your Audience
All good marketing should begin with understanding your audience. Who are the people you see purchasing your product or using your service? What would they want to see or experience on a website?
For example, if you sell something made for an older crowd, avoid a visually or technically complicated website. If you have a product meant for Gen Z-ers, design to their interests and values. Keep your audience in mind as you create a website that will draw them in and excite them!
Choose a Domain Name
If you already have a name for your business, is the domain even available? If the .com domain you want is taken, you can look into .org, .io, or .tech depending on availability. However, make sure you are abundantly clear in your advertising that you’re a .org not a .com.
Your domain name should be easily recalled and reproduced; think short and sweet. If you can choose something with relevant keywords, you’ll be doing your future self an SEO favor.
Clarify Your Brand Identity
In the process of launching a website, it’s a good idea to work with a professional web developer. They understand the intricacies of refining your brand identity and reflecting that in the design and layout of your website.
A business that advertises a service should look and feel different than one that sells a product. Also, your pages should feel cohesive regardless of whether it is an “About Me” page or a blog post.
