You may not be a technical person or have any ideal how to design your own website - but don't let that stop you selling your own (or someone else's) product - whatever that may be.
A few simple words of advice will set you on the road to riches by giving you tried and trusted rules for website design that you can use yourself or take to your designer.
1.
You will need to find a domain name and hosting for your site.
There are many companies out there and you can either do this yourself or ask your web designer to do it for you.
You will be surprised at how little this can cost you - although you might have to compromise on the domain name of your site if the title is very popular.
2.
Have a structure for your site.
You will probably need to draft out a plan in advance whether you intend to design the site yourself using software such as Microsoft FrontPage or use a designer to do it for you.
3.
Your content should reflect the product that you wish to promote.
Don't forget that you will need to focus on relevant content in order to improve your search engine optimization - and ultimately produce more sales.
Many sales sites are not multiple page sites and simply consist of product promotion tactics which lead the potential customer through minimal navigation to a sales page - so it is advisable to familiarize yourself with the format - to help yourself and your designer.
4.
Try to incorporate a secure payment link on your site - your clients need to trust you and always have a thank you link following a sale.
Hopefully these tips will help navigate the minefield of website design and give you a few ideas before you start.
