7 Mistakes Entrepreneurs Make When Building Their First Website

So you decided to take the plunge and build your first website. If you are reading this, hopefully we’ve caught you soon enough in your research mode to keep you from making these newbie mistakes shared by Employedpreneur Network member Akilah Thompkins-Robinson.

1. The About Information Is Too Much About You And Not Enough About The Business.

Often when a company is just getting started there isn’t a lot of information to add on the about page; so in the absence of business information new entrepreneurs talk about themselves. While it’s nice to hear about your wife, husband, kids, degrees, and last 5 jobs; that isn’t what your business is about. If you do not have a lot of awards, a high client history or content to share, add more information about the business. It’s ok to repeat the products and services you offer throughout your web site.

Stop by and read the full article, compare these mistakes to your website and see if you are making any

If you missed our online Q&A session on Facebook this week, here’s a recap of some of the great questions and answers

Q: For a small business is a website enough? Does the small business need to have a fb page, twitter, Google+, etc. accounts? Is that an overkill?

A: In today’s social media heavy world, having just a website is not enough. A good website gives all the information and product you have to offer,and effective use of social media helps to drive visitors to that site.

 

Q: Should flash be used for websites? If not, please explain why and what other method could be used to make the website pop and appealing.

A: I definitely think its best to stay away from flash because it is not viewable on most mobile devices, if you choose flash make sure you set up a m. mobile site. A m. site will redirect users on mobile devices to a simple site where they can still view your information

 

Q: Quick question, should websites have multiple fonts?

A:You can and should have multiple fonts, it is and to the design of the site, but I suggest no more than 2 or 3 fonts. Also use them consistently throughout the site one font for titles, another for text, etc.

 

Do you have questions about starting or improving your website, online strategy, etc.; post them next week for our Monday Q&A session, https://www.facebook.com/AKZMeDesigns.
