Google wants your website to show up on page one of search results.  Google has no secrets: Google gives you all the information you need to optimize your website. You could possibly have your website show up on the first page of Google. Here's some tips that can help you do that: Keywords:  Google responds to the keywords your target market searches for by returning the best results for those keywords.  Google has a tool where you can research these words and create a master list of keywords to use across your website, blog, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and other content sites.  Knowing exactly which keywords to use and where to use them on your website helps you make your website Google friendly and therefore appear at the top of Google Search results. Website Structure and Mechanics: Google uses over 240 factors in determining which web results to return when specific keywords are type in to a Google Search box.

Save yourself money by saying no to anyone that wants to charge you a monthly fee to optimize your website!  Learning SEO:  You can learn real SEO strategies.

Options for Building a Website for Your Business - What is WordPress?

Options for Building a Website for Your Business

It's easier than ever to have a professional website for your business. Many options are available. Some are good. Some are bad. Here are your options:

Template Sites:  GoDaddy and 1and1 offer exceptional web building products at reasonable costs.  The only setbacks with these template sites are few but can be important.

These template sites are not as easy as they make them seem and the flexibility of design options once you select the template are limited. 

Free websites:  Sites such as Wix have amazing marketing and seemingly appear to be the solution to your website dilemma. But beware!  Wix has drag and drop features but the structure at times fails to display your website correctly, overlapping text and blocks and distorting the design. Wix designs are not mobile friendly.

Beware of "free" websites that inundate your website with ads or where you do not have control of your domain. 

WordPress: WordPress is by far the best option for website design. Designing a website on the WordPress.org platform is easy.  The designs available through the myriad of professional themes make for aesthetically pleasing and practical designs that make your business look fabulous!

WordPress sites are "responsive", which means that your website will automatically adjust to any screen, including iPhone, iPad, and other devices.

With WordPress built websites you have a choice of thousands of plugins that perform just about any function you require, including e-commerce, forms, galleries, social media and much more...

Overall, the best choice to build your own business website is WordPress. The WordPress software is free and very functional. With WordPress you will enhance your branding message by creating an aesthetically pleasing, professional and functional website!
