Things to take into account before you buy a web page
Hi 123 2 Blog readers,
Getting yourself a web presence can be a pretty daunting task for a lot of small businesses. For a small business person who is spending 12 hours a day keeping their business going there is a lot of new information to take on board and lots of different offers to consider.
Many small businesses think that getting online or when they "buy a web page" should be comparible between all different suppliers. They see incredibly cheap offerings and think that everyone should be pricing themselves at the same level.
The old saying "you get what you pay for" has never been more appropriate. Some of the things that you need to take into account before you buy a web page are;
1) Are the web developers going to design the site or are you expected to design it yourself. A lot of cheap packages expect you to choose from a template and then upload your photo's etc.
2) Will the web developer write content for you or are you expected to write it yourself. Again, if you are buying a cheap package it is unlikely that they will write content. or a lot of small businesses this can be quite a daunting task.
3) What sort of on-page SEO will the developer put in the site? SEO is important for ensuring that your site gets found by the search engines. If you are writing your own content when you buy a web page you are probably going to be behind the 8 ball from the start.
4) What's it going to cost to make changes to the site? A lot of the cheaper offerings will not have a content management system and will charge you extra to make even minor changes to your website.
5) What advice will your web designer give you for getting your website noticed? Even the best looking site is useless if you get no traffic. You need to get your sites address out there for the cheapest possible price.
Here at 123 2 web we deliver a professionally designed website for an affordable fee. We will write some of the content for you and will edit any content that you write yourself. We build the on-page SEO into the sites when we create them and we make small changes for free (we also have a very easy to use content management system CMS) which makes it easy to make changes. Also, once your site is live we will give you some free advice on how to get your site noticed.
If all you want to do is buy a web page for cheap then you will definitely get what you pay for. If you want a professionally designed well written and optimised site then 123 2 Web can create it for you at an affordable price.
Cheers

SEO is definitely key. It's no use getting a website if you don't get found.
