2. Website Myths Debunked

2.1. Building a website is simple. All I need is a how-to book and I can do it on my own.

While it is possible to build a website on your own, whether or not this is a good option for you depends on the type of website you desire and the extent of your knowledge and skill in this area. Especially if you lack the necessary software and personal experience in graphic or visual design, it's not as easy as you might think. Creating a website can be surprisingly complicated and requires a wide range of skill sets, including familiarity with HTML coding and artistic savvy. It is for these reasons that most people turn to professionals who specialize in website design and development and are able to implement the most complex aspects of a website that you may require, from shopping cart functionality to database programming.

2.2. My website should be flashy and full of fancy animation and special effects.

This is one of the most common mistakes that people make when creating a website. They wrongly assume that wild patterns add interest and allure to their site. However, these types of gimmicks often have the complete opposite effect and end up distracting visitors from the purpose of the site. The other negative effect of high-tech gimmicks is the fact that although they may look good, they often take a very long time to load and by that point the visitor has already lost interest in your site. The key is to achieve a good balance between form and functionality and this is exactly what Wpromote aims to do for all sites that we create.

2.3. A website is only for companies that sell products online.

Whether your business is eCommerce centered or does not sell products online, a professionally designed website has benefits for all types of businesses! The fact is that no matter what industry you are a part of, the Internet is the best place to reach a much broader audience and a website is the most desirable way to get your name out there. Without a website, you may be depriving your business of an effective means of expanding your client-base and increasing profit. That is why Wpromote will customize your website so that it is best-suited to the specific needs of your business.

2.4. As long as I have a site, it doesn't matter what it looks like.

This naive assumption could not be farther from the truth. While an online presence is important, this presence will only be beneficial to your business if you have a high quality and professional looking site. You want to put your best foot forward when you decide to market your company online and the only way to do this is by creating a website that makes a good first impression. Your website should not only impress visitors with its aesthetic appeal and enticing visuals, but it should also instill confidence in the product and/or service that you offer. Your website should be viewed as a reliable resource for the specific industry you are a part of and that is what Wpromote strives to do for all of its clients.

2.5. "If I build it, they will come."

The assumption that if a business creates a website there will be a sudden influx of new customers flocking to it is one of the most frequent misconceptions out there. Once you have a website built that you are proud to call your own, it is time to consider the basics of online marketing. It is through online advertising on search engines like Google, Yahoo and Bing that will help drive traffic to your new site. Wpromote is proud to offer several types of Online Marketing services that you may want to consider when you are ready to launch your website. In fact, we have special package offers available for those interested in purchasing both our website design and marketing services.
