Website Design

Usually a new website will fall into one of four categories;

1. PR or C.V. Page

Racewheelmx

RacewheelMX.co.uk is a good example of a one-page website

If you’re a new business or creative person you can start off with a one-page ‘PR or C.V. style’ website. PR as in ‘public relations’, C.V as in ‘curriculum vitae’.

A one-page site puts your marker down in cyber-space.

The PR page gives you a web address (URL) and a page telling visitors about you and your business or mission.

With your own site you can also make use of a dedicated email address which can forward to another address or you can use it with a mailbox.

PR page example:

Racewheel MX

Racewheel MX are a small company building and repairing motorcross and enduro motorbike wheels. They’re based in Tregroes in West Wales. This is actually a one page plus site with a contact form on a separate page.

2. Business Website using Content Management System

The standard nowadays for many businesses is a content managed website using software like WordPress.

A business website gives your company a professional profile on the Internet.

It enables you to showcase your products and services and also gives your customers and potential customers a way of finding out more about you. Deepening their relationship with your company through interactions online.

News and a blog can be easily included into the business website package. This gives you an outlet for publishing regular news, articles, hints and updates.

The business website often forms part of a broader Internet development strategy.

Business website examples:

3. E-commerce Website

Often businesses will want to extend their web offering to include an e-commerce store. Retail outlets can benefit greatly from having an online version using e-commerce software.

There are a lot of e-commerce website packages available online to suit different requirements.

Some businesses are happy with a Paypal shopping solution whereas others need a full-blown e-commerce package like Magento.Artists and makers can use services like Ravelry and Etsy to sell their products.
