Web Design is a broad term and is the slightly shortened meaning of website design. There are three main areas that make up web design which are:

Graphic design for website (images & Pictures)
Coding to make it all work (behind the pictures & images)
Content writing & SEO (The text content & titles)

You need to get all three elements of the web design done so you end up investing in an effective website for your business and Organisation. As a web designer it frustrates me when I come across a small business owner who had a real novice and poor website designed and after they get no benefits from their website they think the internet offers no opportunities to the business.

The fact of the matter is you need a nice professional looking website that will attract the right customers. It must be easy to use and navigate so it works well so they don't get put off your website and go to another. When you have achieved this your content must make it easy for potential customers to act i.e. buy your products or call and inquire.

Never forget that even though you have a great web design & the best product if no one can find your website you will never have any visitors. So always keep your focus simple – I want customers buying my products online, or I want local home owners to find my service when they need it. The you need market, advertise and make sure your website is search engine friendly.

Your web design is your business window on the internet as a web designer it is my job to construct your online presence with an effective website. Always research your online partner carefully, don't get over charged for a poor website.

Did you have a dream as a child to open up your own shop to the public, to find long lines at your registers, to hear the sound of chatter as mothers and fathers kept their little ones near and entertained, while your staff served up some old fashioned service?

Well, the next best thing has arrived with the internet. You can be a web shopkeeper now, with a plethora of advantages over the real world variety. There are a number of solutions available online to become a web shopkeeper now. If you don't mind sharing a cut with the big dogs, you could run with eBay or Amazon and sell your wares. If you don't like the idea of storing things, they now have eBay drop off stores in most major cities.

Of course, if you want to create your own goods for sale and don't want to necessarily go the eBay route, then there's always stores like Etsy or CafePress. These provide the web shopkeeper with a venue to sell their own creations (in the case of the Etsy types of stores) or create your own identity using their tools and materials (in the case of the CafePress model). That is to say, in the latter model, you would use their t-shirts and customize them using their software and art. Either venue will help you become a web shopkeeper now, with a few clicks. These models are pretty unique in that they allow the creative type of web shopkeeper focus on their creativity, while the business end of things is already in place. You will, of course, share some of the profits with the hosting company, but you will become a shopkeeper sooner.

The most profitable option, though maybe not up front, will be to make your own shop from the ground up. Granted, there are open source or free programs for just about every problem you'll face in setting up your shop. The biggest problem will probably be finding the right software for your store. You want your brand, not their brand (the software company's) showing through to your customers. So long as you can do that, it should be a go.

Finally, once all of this is in place, your domain name is purchased, products described and shopping cart hooked up, then it's a matter of driving traffic through your “doors.” This is typically called “search engine optimization.” There are myriad ways to optimize your web shopkeeper site for the major engines, but focusing on Google and Bing will go a long ways in keeping your customers clicking on by.

Not CONSISTENTLY marketing to your prospective and existing customers is bad. Why? It has to do with what we call "The Buying Spectrum". Think of a grove of orange trees. Once the oranges are in season they begin to ripen. Now it's time to pick the ripe ones. Yet do you think that all of the oranges on all of the trees ripen all at the same time? Of course not.

So you go through picking only the ripe ones and leaving the green unripened oranges still on the tree. Now that you've gotten all of the ripened oranges you leave the orange grove never to return right? Wrong! Yet this is exactly what many businesses do.

Simply put most businesses run some ads, have people calling in for more information yet only focus their attention on the people who are actually ready to buy right now. They completely discard the other people who called in yet didn't buy. Understand that these people will buy what you sell at some time. It just isn't right now. It may be 3 weeks from now, 6 months from now or 2 years from now. So how do you get their business as well?

Think again of the orange grove. Instead of picking only the ripened oranges and leaving the grove never to return, think of nurturing the grove. You consistently water it, fertilize it and weed it. And as each and every orange ripens you pick each and every one. Your prospects are no different. You must nurture them along the sales (buying) cycle as you'd nurture the orange grove. You consistently market to them, educating them about your product or service and how they benefit by doing business with you.

Then as they are ready to buy 2 months from now, 6 months from now or even 2 years from now, you "pick" them all! Realistically, you may not get them all yet you'll definitely get the majority of them. By adopting this approach, you'll wind up with the lion's share of the market.
