A website is just the begining of your web presence. You can use SquareSpace, Wix, GoDaddy, Fasthost, Webflow, Elementor and more. And after you have dont forget to keep them up to date, you will need to add content every day if your want your site to be found in searches without paid advertising. Most of these ready made website hosting packages are a subscription service and subscription services bring in billions of £€$ for these companies, so make it work for you or perhaps just have a Free FB page for your business. After all.

Why have a website? Do you actually know! Selling a product or service? You'll need a whole lot more than a website. That is JUST the simple beginning. Have a WP blog, use it or again it's pointless unless it's just a personal site that people go to because you guide them there. Keep it simple and keep if cheap or you just throwing money down the pan. If you have it, use it! A website is supposed to bring you business, inform people and provide a service. What does your website do and how does it do it!?! A website alone will do nothing except consume your money. Like a subscription service that you dont need. If you need it to work for you then you need to discuss that with me and other webmasters.

I will be adding a whole lot more information over the coming weeks. Remember this. You'll need a relevant Instagram account, a Twitter user name, also a Facebook business account and you will need a Blog to be top dog. You'll need to be active, photos, advertising, information artices, weblinks and a whole lot more. You'll need a brand too. And a YouTube Channel reviewing your products and services. As for hosting, use a webmaster and you can have your own webserver with a fixed IP address. If you have a server you will need excellent protection against hackers and ransom wear. Use a web service and you will need a reliable web hosting provider and you will need to buy hosting support. Having a website is either very simple or very complex.

Not every Website demands SEO but good SEO should be a goal.

For example a photograph produced by you for your website that has a relevant description, namely something related to it's origin and source will help bring traffic to your website if people are searching for something related to that image. Adding a photograph helps but the content you add should also be talking about something related to that photograph such as, in this case, an SEO photograph linked to an article discussing SEO. So the SEO image to the left of this article is a relevant image that focuses your eye on it's content, then that is a relevant image that may catch your visitors eye and grab their attention while browsing your site if they are looking for SEO related content.

And SEO hates repetitiveness. So there is no point in repeating the website name, your location or service over and over again because web crawlers will leave your site if it finds too many occurrences of the word or phrase. That's why quality content is important. Now I have to stop here. But remember that I have been discussing Search Engine Optimization here and that immediatly attracts web crawlers to my site. Web crawlers have to look at millions of websites so my site probably wont appear in searches for another 2 weeks from the date of posting when someone is looking for SEO content. In that time I can post a lot more information. Anything else I have to say has to go on to my Blogging site since I will discuss SEO again in relevant articles. This way my website always has fresh content. And bear in mind that you will need to link to social network sites like FB and Instagram (I will be doing mine shortly). Good SEO is now a job for someone on your team if you want to pull in clients or customers. If you have a website review the Meta tags and if you have a WordPress site make sure you are using the Meta tags manager. Check the facts here on Wikipedia SEO
