The internet has reshaped the way we live, work and play. It is now the primary source of information and communication for a majority of businesses and consumers. That’s why it’s important that your company has a website that accurately reflects its brand, mission and culture. A poorly designed site can hurt your company’s reputation and prevent visitors from converting into customers. Fortunately, the right website builder can make all the difference in your company’s digital presence.
A website builder takes complex programming and CMS tasks and simplifies them for users who don’t have coding familiarity. The platform’s browser-based editor is an easy-to-understand visual interface of tools and guidelines that help users to manually design and create a website without needing to know a single line of code. Not all website builders are created equal, however, and significant differences exist between solutions in terms of how complex their editors are and which features they include.
The most common mistake companies make is focusing solely on aesthetics and neglecting to define their goals for the site, or to plan out their content and structure. This can lead to a site that is visually appealing but not effective at communicating your message or motivating people to take action. The best website builders have clearly defined branding guidelines that can guide your site’s design and help you stay focused on what is most important for your business.
Whether you’re a creative professional or a technical expert, you should also have a firm grasp on what kind of functionality you want your site to have. Some website builder platforms specialize in catering to specific needs, such as providing restaurant homepages with menu or reservation boxes or allowing artists and designers to add portfolio sub-pages to showcase their work. Other website builders offer a variety of standard building blocks that can be used to create many different kinds of websites.
Once you have a clear understanding of what you’re looking for in a website builder, it’s time to compare your options. To find the right solution for your business, look for a website builder that provides a comprehensive suite of tools, supports mobile devices and offers advanced levels of security.
Finally, it’s worth comparing how user-friendly each platform is. If you’re not tech- savvy, you’ll want a website builder with a simple drag and drop editor that’s intuitive to use. On the other hand, if you’re an experienced web designer who likes to have more control over the technical aspects of the site, you’ll need a platform with more advanced coding capabilities.
Choosing the right website builder can be challenging, but it’s important to keep in mind that a great website is an ongoing project that requires regular attention and maintenance to stay fresh and effective. It’s also a good idea to get a fresh set of eyes on your site regularly to ensure that the content is well-written and the design is engaging.
