Create a website right now
Do you already have a website? Why not? Create a website right now because a website is your home on the internet and where you will customize it to your liking and make people know you better.
At first the internet was full of personal blogs but with the emergence of social networks blogs were losing space. Nowadays telling someone to create a website sounds crazy but a website doesn't say more about you than a standardized social network profile.
A good reason to create a blog is engagement because content producers on social media need to enter an auction. While in blogs the competition is for the best response time and best content for a keyword.
However, I see social networks more as marketing tools than content distribution tools with the exception of youtube that can do both. Besides, if your content is not video, the best thing to do is create a blog.
Create a Professional Website
Create a professional website to show your portfolio, to connect with potential customers to have all the information about your business. Everyone should create a website to show what they do, whether a carpenter, accountant, lawyer, etc.
A website must be clear in its proposal to talk about the professional and his experience, show portfolio, customer testimonials, and must have a contact area either by email or phone.
A good website must have a good design but that alone doesn't sell, you need to have content that catches the customer's attention. However, the combination of the 2 that will make you sell is no use having good content without a good designer and vice versa.
So how to create a website?
Now that we talk about the importance, let's talk about how to create a website. There are platforms that can help you in creating your website. However, some of these platforms are free and others have affordable plans.
