How To Create A Website For Your Business?

Gone are the days where you only need a brochure or business card for your Company. Now is a completely different story as having a website now is required for any businesses. Ok so let's get started, I will be straight to the point here all you need to do is to read and follow my instructions carefully. So here it goes:

 How to Create a Website Checklist:

1. Domain Name - Register a domain name from Yahoo.com, Godaddy.com, Google Apps Business, Onlydomains.com, asiaregistry.com, domainrightnow.com, dynadot.com, domaindiscount24.com. It only cost around $10 - $20. Make sure to use your trusted email like gmail or yahoo email as some company emails won't last a long time as there would be a time where you will be needing to leave the company. So make sure to register your domain names using your gmail or your yahoo email. Domain name is very important, don't ever give away username and passwords to anyone. When choosing a domain name make sure that the domain name is not too long, make your domain name catchy and easy to remember. It's also not a good idea to put dashes on it as it is hard to remember. The best domain to choose it the .com as it is the primary one. Secondary would be .net, org, etc. From my own experience I recommend Dynadot.com as it also handles paypal payments which is very user friendly.
2. Web Hosting -  There are a lot of Web Hosting Companies out there to choose from like Godaddy.com, Yahoo SmallBusiness Web hosting, Ironyun.com, Bigcommerce.com, Cloudhostinghq.com, Mochahost.com, Certifiedhosting.com, Exclusivehosting.net, Rackspace.com, Bluehost.com, etc.  Make sure to choose the one that has the best customer service. The One I recommend is Hostgator.com. As it has the Fantastico Easy Auto Installer where you can install CMS websites in just a click of the mouse. Make sure to save all the username and passwords of your cpanel and save the name server address as you will be needing that to connect with your domain name. For Example: Name Server 1 : ns1.hostgator.com  Name Server 2: ns2.hostgator.com . Save that information and Enter that information on your Domain Records Panel. There is a separate access for your domain name. After you logged in, go to the DNS fields and enter the Name Servers from your Web hosting. If you are unsure on what to do, contact the customer service chat support of your domain name and web hosting service. 
3. Web Developer / Graphic Designer - Hire a reliable Web Developer and Graphic Designer. You can look for it on Craigslist or on your facebook, or twitter. The best way is to contact friends who knows how to program and design. You should prepare for your content for every page. The usual website flow has this pages: Home, About Us, Services/Products and Contact Us. Some Web Developers charges per page but the common practice now is the use of CMS where they let you add page yourself and edit it as well. They should give you a User Guide for this. 
4. Content Management System - The Best CMS now is Wordpress, followed by Joomla and other CMS. I personally do recommend Wordpress as it is good in search engine and it is very user-friendly. It is also easy to load. I do not recommend Flash as it is not the trend right now ans it is not good on search engine. Wordpress already has a built-in plugin for SEO (Search Engine Optimization) so that is one of the advantages of it.
5. Search Engine Optimization - If you want added value on your website and get more traffic, hire a good SEO Specialist. You can search for it online. On craigslist, facebook or twitter and even Linkedin.  It will be safe if you hire from Linkedin as it for professionals. Just be careful and be wise on the price range. Research for an affordable SEO Specialist that has the experience already.
6. Social Media - All businesses now should have a social media presence. This is for customer service purposes for your clients and future clients. You should have a good social media presence on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. This is one way of telling your customers that your business really exist and you can follow us anytime. 

The Power of Facebook

Never underestimate the power of Facebook. The whole social media is like the whole population of facebook. Everytime there's a big news, you will notice that you can see it first in facebook. Like the recent earthquake, your newsfeeds will be flooded by Earthquake posts. You see it first in Facebook. The power of social network, the power of social media is really a big thing now. Facebook has become of the top companies all over the globe. This is what technoloogy is all about. You bring people connected everyday, it's like you are forming another country with different ideas and emotions. I believe that facebook will be more stronger in the future as people are using it everyday that it has become a necessity now.

I Love Facebook

Friendster is gone, Multiply is gone, Myspace is gone.. but Facebook is still alive. That's the reason why I love facebook because I think this will last forever. Facebook is here to stay for us who love social media. With all the privacy issues, I think facebook is not sleeping and they are doing something to improve it. No company is perfect so is facebook. So let's give facebook a chance to improve more as it becomes perfect soon. Because of facebook, people now become more open to each other thus creating more good relationship. Each one of us now has given a voice to stand-up for what we think is right, we can now post our feelings to our friends. Becoming more open is better than keeping it to yourself. Through facebook we can now do business and get more clients easily as you can ask your friends to promote for your business too. This is such an amazing technology that helps us to help other people and your friends too. This is why I love Facebook. And I hope that it will last forever.

I Love Apple

I Love Apple. Yes you heard it right. I love Apple Products. Why? Ok you Samsung Fans out there sorry but no matter what you do, no matter how innovative Samsung are I still go for Apple as I really love to use it. First, the quality is really something you can't take away from Apple. The first time I got my First Apple product the Macbook Pro ever since I used it, I had no more trouble with different viruses. I am a web developer and my job is to code and I always use the search engine to find solutions for some coding problems. I had Windows before and as far as i remember I got like more than 50 laptop virus problems. With Macbook Pro until now "NONE". That's one of the reason why I love Mac. Yes it is expensive, "VERY EXPENSIVE" but If you are thinking long term go for the quality which is apple. In the long run you will realise that other products are more expensive because of the cost of Anti-virus, etc and also the technician cost. Believe me I'm saying this with my own experiences. Now we go with the mobile phones. I love apple also because of iPhone. As until now I don't have issues with it. No problem with the software it is still working for years already unlike my Samsung Phone it just lasted for 2 years. I went to their customer service to ask for help but the only thing that they said is that they cannot do something about it. I'm speaking about my experience here that's why I'm sharing this to all of you to the social media world. I don't like Samsung because of that, so I didn't go back and I think I will be with Apple no matter what. The service is good, the quality is magnificent what more can you ask for.
