Website Design Tools

If you haven’t already got a website you need one and you need one now or at least a good page on Facebook.

The good news is that getting a domain name and building your own website has never been easier. However, there are some key things you need to think about and the most critical one is making sure your website is mobile-friendly.

ALL the web traffic your QR Codes generate will be mobile and if you drive this traffic to non-mobile-friendly web pages you will be wasting it.

Most website design tools now operate on the basis that web traffic is largely mobile and typically use so-called responsive technology that displays web pages in a way that automatically takes into account the device the page is being viewed on.

Listed below are some of the most popular website design tools many of which come with templates that you can tailor to suit your own business.

WordPress
Wix
Drupal
Squarespace
Weebly

An alternative route is to find a suitable website design agency you feel you can work with and can afford but beware of getting tied in to long term contracts especially when it comes to getting your website hosted. Many web designers like to host the websites of their clients because it generates steady revenue but in practice hosting is a complex technical issue and better done by dedicated hosting companies.

In addition you will need a domain name and you’ll need to set up an email address too.
