Your Company Website

Your website is where you can control your message to establish your company identity, educate about the problem you are solving, share key features of your solution and discuss what sets your company apart from others.

Websites can start simple and grow as your company grows. But before you begin building your website, it's important to answer two questions - what is the story you want to tell, and who are you telling your story to?

What's In a Website?

Once you know the story you want to tell, you'll need to decide how you want your website to look.

If you explore websites from your favourite brands or companies in your industry, you'll find they often have the same core elements, such as:

  • A custom .com domain name
  • A homepage
  • A menu
  • A 'solution' page
  • And an about page

Depending on your company's business model, you may need to include a way to sell your products or enable scheduling through your website. The key is planning ahead to make sure your website includes the most important elements to set your business up for success. Remember, it will often be the first introduction to your business for your prospective customers.

Getting Customers to Your Website

There are many ways to promote your website, and one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways is to share your custom .com domain name prominently across all your customer touchpoints.

  • Your custom email address
  • Your social media accounts
  • Digital advertising
  • And your invoices and product labels
