How to create a website


How to create a website in 3 easy steps and get to the front page of Google or make is SEO and SEM friendly.

STEP 1 on how to create a website: Research

First you need to answer the following questions:
  • ·         Do you know what you are selling? (you know your product)
  • ·         Do your clients know what you are selling? (do you know how your clients are asking for your product)
  • ·         Do you think you are famous? ( Clients are not looking for you by name but by Product and service)

The questions you have just answered should get you thinking about that website you want to create and how to create a affective marketing strategy around your website and how to create exposure using Ad Words
As with all things planning is essential have you used the Google keyword tool or Google insights to find out how people are looking for your product or service. (your whole site needs to be built around getting found on a search engine, Google currently being the best.)

Having a pretty website that no one can find defeats the object of being online. As in all things if I don’t know you exist then how can I do business with you. According to Google 2/3 of all companies in SA are not online and 60% of those companies are invisible online, You want to make sure you are not invisible online.
So , step 1 on how to create a website and get found online has nothing to do with actual look and feel but everything to do with the keywords and focal points of what you are going to sell online.

Free Google SEO workshop

Getting that ever elusive front page ranking can be tricky, dam near impossible if you don’t get the basics around SEO and Google sorted in your head. You need to understand that Google is all about relevance to what the user is searching for and not about how famous you think you are. In reality you are not a brand on the web you are a service or a product and you are not unique as you may have discovered. 

Everyone is talking about the USP and value proposition, this won’t mean anything if people don’t find you on the web. 

If you need help I run a free Google SEO and SEM workshop and a I challenge the delegates to test what I talk about and see the results for themselves. I am so sure that I will give them R500 of Google’s money J to test this. It helps when you are part of the Google engage program. So as I was rambling on:

A flashy USP with a flashy site won’t mean anything if the guy in the number 1 spot on Google gets 70% of the traffic and you don’t appear at all. So how do you get to the top spot?

First can you answer the following questions:

  • What do you think you sell?
  • What dose Joe public think you sell?
  • Do you go back to your site to read it because it makes you excited?

IF you can get the above 3 right you are far ahead of your competition who think they are famous and never read their own website for pleasure and not to check for errors.

Marketing Strategy for Google

What is internet marketing and how is this different from normal marketing? There is no real difference other than the medium, the concepts still apply. If you have a shop in a mall you will attempt to attract new feet into the store through normal above the line and below the line marketing, if you had a internet store you would do the same, the only difference being that in the mall you would use media and on the web you would use PPC or SEO or Internet marketing. When people ask me at our free workshop how to get more money out of there site I remind them that even when online people will always want to get to the product they are looking for quickly and buy it quickly. They don’t really care about who you are or your pedigree.
