In today's podcast, we're diving into the world of website myths and debunking some misconceptions that often surround building and maintaining websites. One major myth we explore is the idea that just creating a website guarantees instant success and high traffic. However, I emphasize that it's far from the truth – building a website is just the first step. We discuss the importance of ongoing efforts in SEO, social media promotion, and consistently updating content to attract and engage visitors.
Some key points we cover in this episode of The Lucky Biz Podcast:
Build Your Website and They Will Come
One prevalent myth is the belief that simply creating a website guarantees instant success and high traffic. In reality, building a website is just the beginning; sustained efforts in SEO, social media, and maintaining fresh content are essential for attracting and retaining visitors.
The Need for Ongoing Maintenance and Updates of Websites
The misconception that once a website is live, there's nothing more to do is debunked. Websites require continuous maintenance, updates, and optimization to keep content relevant, ensure smooth functionality, and adapt to changing market dynamics.
Design vs. Functionality - Can Your Website Really Have It All?
The myth that beautiful design alone will translate to instant sales is addressed. While design is important, it must serve a purpose, guiding users through a seamless experience. Functionality, solving problems, and aiding user journeys take precedence over flashy design.
Myths Around Website Cost and Investment
Dismissing websites as expensive and unnecessary is corrected. Websites are a crucial business asset and a relatively affordable investment, especially with platforms like Squarespace. Owning a well-designed, functional website enhances professionalism and online presence.
The Need For Websites for All Industries
The myth that only online or virtual businesses require a website is discussed. Websites are essential for any business to establish credibility, share information, and communicate offerings. They provide a central platform that customers expect and can help attract more business through search engine optimization.
