How to make a website? We are often asked that question.
Although most people look at websites all day, when it comes down to making their own website, they are not sure how to tackle the challenge.
Making a website is not just putting pages together, it also involves marketing and tracking results.

There are basically two ways to make a website.
The first way is to create the website offline and then upload the web pages to the server via FTP.
The second way is to create your website online using templates that are pre-installed on the server.

A web designer can help you decide what is best for you depending on what you are you are looking for: customization, ease of making updates yourself, special features needed such as ecommerce, best hosting plan, Search Engine Optimization, etc.

Be sure to identify your target market so you know how to speak to them.
Include a call to action, so visitors to your site take that step and either contact you, visit you, or make a purchase on your website.

Market your website on the search engines. Hire a Search Engine Optimization company to make sure your pages are search engines friendly and submitted to all major online directories and search engines.

Track your website’s results: how many visitors are coming to the site, how long does each visitor stay on your site, what does each visitor look at , which search engines are getting you the best prospects, how much money have you made from the average visitor, if you use Pay Per Click, is it working and paying for itself ? etc.

You do not have to keep adding content to your website to improve it. Some website owners hurt their sites by continually adding features and content when they should be simplifying.

One solution is collapsing the content instead of removing it.
It is not always possible to remove content because of user habit, as your users might not find the links they are used to click on, and leave your site.
