Website Builders: Empowering Business Owners
A website is a critical piece of the business puzzle. It helps create the brand narrative, establish an online presence and nurture new site visitors into repeat customers.
However, many business owners find putting together an engaging website challenging, especially if they don’t have any design or coding experience. This is where website builders come in. They’re easy to use, user-friendly and allow business owners to build a site themselves without the need for professional assistance.
The website building process begins with choosing a template that fits your brand. From there, you can add your company’s name and tagline, then select photos from a gallery to populate your home page. You can even upload your logo to brand your site.
Adding pages is also simple with a drag-and-drop interface, which gives you control over the layout of your pages and the placement of elements. You can rearrange the layout of your pages, add or remove elements and use plugins to increase functionality.
Some website builders have a blogging component that allows you to post following a predefined template and encourages social sharing. Those solutions also include tools to help you optimize your site for mobile so users can easily access it no matter where they are.
Most website builders also have a library of stock fonts and colors to make the design process faster.
Once your site is live, you can connect it with all your other marketing materials like business cards, social media and local business listings. You can ask for feedback, tweak the site and make updates from anywhere that has a web browser and login credentials. This is particularly valuable for companies that have employees working remotely.
Websites need frequent upgrades to keep up with technology and to optimize for search engines. Site speed is crucial to a site’s performance and conversion rates, as it affects everything from customer experience to SEO.
Using a CDN to improve your website’s load time can make a big difference. Most website builders provide an integrated solution that can be used to increase your website’s load time, which will ultimately lead to a better customer experience and higher conversions.
