If you’re a business owner, you know that the internet is an important tool to reach your customers and promote your products or services. But creating a website takes time and energy, and if you don’t have the technical skills, it can be difficult to figure out what to do and how to do it yourself. This is where a website builder can help.
Website builders are intuitive software tools that allow you to design your own website without any coding knowledge. They make it easy to create a custom site with the colors, layout, and content you want. They also provide templates to get you started. You can choose from hundreds of customizable designs that match your brand, and most offer an easy-to-use editor that lets you drag and drop elements and use simple WYSIWYG editing.
Many website builders feature plugins that let you add different functional elements like video, map, blog, analytics, forms and more without any coding. Plugins can be installed with just a few clicks, and their embed code can be easily copy-pasted to the page where you want it. Most website builders are mobile-friendly, and they also have a library of professionally designed templates to suit your needs.
A good website builder should have a robust library of professional designs that are constantly being added to. It should also include a variety of layouts and themes to ensure that you can find the right fit for your website.
The website builder you choose should have an in-house search engine optimization (SEO) tool, which is a great way to optimize your site and make sure it shows up in Google searches. This is a great feature for any small business looking to get more visibility on the web.
You should look for a website builder that makes it easy to create an online store and sell products or services directly through your website. Some website builders, have a built-in ecommerce solution that makes it easy to set up a store and start selling online.
You should consider the level of customer support and help that each website builder offers. Generally, most website builders offer email, phone, or live chat support. You can also opt for a paid plan that includes additional support options.
For example, some website builders have dedicated account managers that can help you with the more complicated aspects of a website. In addition, some website builders have a knowledge center that provides helpful articles on how to do certain things.

Check out my recent post on sales funnels and what I think about them. Are they still worth it?
Born in Los Angeles, California and currently residing in Foresthill California my path to becoming an online marketing consultant was anything but linear. I started my journey in manufacturing, sales and marketing spending 7 years overseas in the late 1990’s thru the early 2000’s. Then the world changed with new technologies, smart phones & social media etc. What has always guided me, though, is my belief in doing what I love and paying it forward which resonates through my personal and professional life.
