Designing your own business website can be both rewarding and challenging. Rewarding because you are in charge! However, if you aren’t familiar with both graphic design and web technology, it can be very challenging to create an effective website that is also visually appealing.
If you decide to design your own website, first think about your goals for the site. What do you want it to accomplish? Do you need a simple, informational site or do you want to interact more closely with your customers by including a request-for-quote page or newsletter sign up? Make notes of the topics you’d like your site to cover, and decide which should have there own pages. These might become your menu items on the website’s navigation.
