New service offering affordable and professional website redesign lists the most important factors for small businesses to consider when maintaining their websites
SOLVANG, Calif., July 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ — Every business today needs to have a website. That is a well-known fact, but it is surprising how many businesses still do not have a website or have an extremely outdated, difficult to navigate site. These are mostly due to:
- Limited time and money to spend on a website
- Lacking design and programming skills
- The inability for business owners to make changes on their own website
- The high cost of hiring a web designer to make those changes
The last several years have seen a huge increase in the number of "do-it-yourself" website building services, making DIY websites the most ideal solution for today's small businesses.
Small business owners and entrepreneurs should:
- Avoid website companies claiming to offer "free" website services, it is often not accurate.
- Find a do-it-yourself website provider who offers the key elements and necessary features applicable to their business.
- Don't spend hours attempting to stay up-to-date with the latest app or game being sold as "must-have" for a website. They distract visitors from why they are there.
- Stick to what matters: relevant content and accurate contact information. Nothing is worse than losing customers because they are unable to find correct contact information for your business.
When designing a DIY website:
- Keep it simple and stick to the basics: don't make customers have to navigate through pages of apps and flashy add-ons.
- Create a user-friendly website for customers.
- Avoid using color combinations and fonts that strain the eyes.
- Make sure the website can be easily read and navigated, which can be done without the skill of graphic design.
- Give customers a positive experience when visiting your site.
Recently launched, easy-to-use website builder, HOOZA, is currently offering a free website design promotion. This is the ideal way to affordably, and professionally, give your current website a fresh look or get your website up and running for the first time.
Kurt Alldredge, owner of The Chef's Touch of Santa Ynez, California, took advantage of this offer to give his old website a make over. "Creating our website with Hooza has been extraordinary. They made the process extremely simple and the results are far beyond my expectations. Thank you Hooza, " says Kurt. "When editing my own site, I thought to myself, 'Hey this is kinda fun.'" Overnight, The Chef's Touch went from the fourth page on Google search results to the first page using Hooza's SEO tools.
"As an owner of a few small businesses in town, and after seeing the success the Hooza websites brought to those businesses, it was a no brainer to use Hooza for my new business too," states Aaron Petersen, owner of new restaurant Chomp. "Hooza allows me the freedom to update my menu frequently without paying for an expensive designer, which is a key factor in having a website for my restaurant."
