Do I Need My Own Website
Do I Need My Own Website
This really all depends on what you are selling online. If you are selling tangible products, and your inventory will be changing all the time, then yes, you need your own website. You don't want to run this type of business on a free service provider. You will want to get a domain name and hosting so you can set up and run your own website. Having your own online presence is very important if you truly want to be successful online. Make sure you come up with a domain that not only represents your company but is also easy to remember.
Most hosting companies provide scripts, tools and templates you can use to set up your website. If you have a little bit of html and photoshop experience, you can do it yourself. Otherwise it would be a good idea to hire someone to help you out. Nothing worse then sending your customers to a website that doesn't function correctly. Thats a sure way to keep your potential customers from coming back. One thing to keep in mind while you are designing your site is that simple is always better.
Don't over do it with the graphics and the layout. Make it as user friendly as possible. People don't like to think too hard. They want to be able to come to your site and find what they are looking for with ease. Consider having a search box that will allow your visitors to quickly search your site for the products they are looking for. Just keep it simple and everything should work out just fine.
