Why you need to create your website

Plan Your Website Before You Start Building It

With the advent of the World Wide Web over the Internet, an increasing number of businesses have found a need to have a presence on the Internet in the form of a website. Gone are those days when only well established companies and businesses needed a website for marketing their products and services. You can get information from a single website about communication, development of products, marketing and sharing views and your hobbies.


Who needs a website?
Dentists, lawyers, accountants and ministers need their own website, so do businesses like cafes, restaurants, coffee shops and night clubs. Every business has good reasons to have a well navigated, well structured and an appealing website. Millions of shoppers are now online, purchasing books, computers, cars, real estate, jet airplanes, even natural gas.

Even if your business is small and nothing much to do with online customers, still the presence of a website is appreciated and advised. This will create your presence on the web so that customers, potential employees, business partners and perhaps even investors can quickly and easily find out more about your business and the products or services you have to offer.


Well-designed website
With a well-designed website, your small operation can project the image and professionalism of a much larger company. The reverse is also true. Either you are a one-man show or a 10,000-employee corporate giant; if you do not have a website, you are losing business to other companies that do. Every retailer and every manufacturer in every industry needs to have a presence online.


Web Log - a Blog
A popular form of website is a blog which is short for web log. Actually they have more differences than similarities. A blog is more interactive with customers while a website, at the most, has Contact Us feature where you can send the webmaster an email.

Blog is like an online journal. The blog owner regularly post journal entries that readers can react to in a comment section. This is in contrast to a newsletter or static website that conveys one sided information. Bloggers here can write everything from personal to professional experiences and articles.

Blogging have given millions of people access to a powerful new medium - not only for publishing, but for activism, dialogue, and collaboration, opening up tremendous potential for social and political change. Speakers include leading practitioners who have helped organizations and individuals shape online strategies to engage members, move public opinion and effect change large and small.

Thousands of new blogs and websites are being created everyday according to surveys. Blogging forces people to rethink activism, organizing and change.
