Truth about website designing?
Note : If you don’t want to grow your business from your website then this article is not for you, exit right away.
So, you’re planning for a website with a hope that it will help you to get more business?
I don’t want to be the one who breaks your dream but some one has to tell you the truth.
So here it goes :
In real world the website alone will not give you more business. There are lots of people who have a website even in your industry, just go and talk to them. They will tell you that there is no business coming to them just because of the website.
The Website is part of a big marketing ecosystem. There are several other factors that you need to keep in mind while planning a website for business growth.
Let’s assume that this big marketing ecosystem that gets you the result is a bicycle.
Creating a website only is like getting the wheels for that bicycle. But just getting the wheels is not enough to ride that bicycle. It will not take you anywhere.
Definitely, in visual sense wheels are the most important part, but still, you need the chain, handle, seat, brakes, pedals etc., to ride this bicycle.
With just having wheels, the end goal is not going to be achieved, i.e, riding the bicycle. In the same way, with just having a website, the end goal is not going to be achieved that is getting more leads and more customers.
Creating a website is the first step in having an online business, but if you really want to make a business through the internet, you need a web strategy and proven process. Now you might be thinking what is a web strategy.
