How to Make a Professional Website
Here are the resources I use: www.sidewages.com/resources/
Why Go Pro?
- needed to succeed in online commerce
- garner trust in the market-space
- become the authority for your topic
- more people = help more = more resources
What I Don’t Mean By Pro
- super-duper programming gurus not needed
- look good, but not super-awesome
- avoid the 1997 animated GIF website
Clarity of Content
- tell visitors what it’s about
- avoid all instances of confusion
- text & images need to be relevant
The First Thing They See
- the logo should make sense
- the headline should tell the story
- consider a subheadline for details
Be Careful with Your Text
- be concise
- be clear and summarize
- use headings
- use bulleted lists
Navigation is Key
- allow your visitors to move around
- easy = happy; complex = gone
- multiple specific pages
- not just one big page
- a sitemap is a must
- links have to work
Templates Are Awesome
- ready-made templates can save time
- there are plenty freebies available
- there as some really nice paid-ones, too
- structure is usually tried & true
Go Forth and Be Professional
- aim for professional
- know that bootstrapped is still okay
- I suggest WordPress
- free themes to get started
- you can’t break anything
