Whether you’re starting a new business or revamping your current online presence, building a website is one of the most important steps for your digital success. For MSMEs (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises), it’s crucial to understand what goes into creating a website that not only looks good but also performs well. Many business owners either attempt to build their own site or hire an agency without fully understanding the key elements involved, which can lead to avoidable pitfalls.
Before you jump into website development, here are some essential things to know, whether you’re doing it yourself or hiring an agency.
1. Understanding Your Business Goals
Before any website is built, you must clearly define your goals. Are you looking to generate leads? Sell products? Create a platform for customer engagement? The website you create must align with these goals, which will influence its design, structure, and features.
Things to Consider:
- What is the primary purpose of your website?
- Who is your target audience?
- What actions do you want visitors to take (e.g., sign up, buy, contact)?
A website without a clear objective can confuse visitors and lower your chances of conversions. Make sure your goals are clearly communicated to any agency you work with, or if you’re building it yourself, keep these in mind while designing the site.
2. Website Platform and Scalability
There are various platforms to build websites on, such as WordPress, Shopify, Wix, or custom-developed platforms. Each has its strengths and limitations, so you need to decide which one fits your needs and long-term business goals. The platform you choose should allow for future growth—whether it’s adding new products, services, or expanding into new regions.
Things to Consider:
- Will your website need to scale as your business grows?
- Are you comfortable managing content updates on your chosen platform?
- Does the platform provide enough flexibility for future updates or redesigns?
Choosing the wrong platform could make it harder and more costly to make changes later, so it’s important to pick one that suits your business now and in the future.
3. Mobile-First Design
With over 50% of global web traffic coming from mobile devices, having a mobile-responsive website is non-negotiable. Many businesses overlook this, leading to poor user experiences on phones and tablets. Whether you’re building the site yourself or hiring an agency, ensure that the website is mobile-first, meaning it’s designed primarily for mobile users.
Things to Consider:
- Does your site load quickly on mobile devices?
- Is the design easy to navigate on smaller screens?
- Are buttons and forms user-friendly on mobile?
Google also favors mobile-friendly sites in its rankings, so this will positively impact your SEO (Search Engine Optimization) as well.
4. SEO Optimization from Day One
SEO is not something that can be added to a website later; it must be built into the structure from the start. If you’re hiring an agency, make sure they include SEO practices during development. If you’re building the site yourself, ensure that elements like URL structure, meta tags, keyword optimization, and internal linking are set up properly.
Things to Consider:
- Does the agency provide keyword research and SEO optimization?
- Are image alt tags and meta descriptions included for SEO benefits?
- Is the site designed to be crawlable by search engines like Google?
Ignoring SEO from the beginning will harm your website’s ability to rank well on search engines, leading to lower organic traffic.
5. Ownership of Content and Code
One often-overlooked detail is ownership of the website content, design, and code. Many agencies retain ownership of the site, meaning you’ll have to continue paying for access or making changes. Before signing any contract, clarify whether you will have full control over your website once it’s built.
Things to Consider:
- Do you own the code, design, and content of the website?
- Is there a handover process at the end of the project?
- Are you locked into ongoing payments for website maintenance or access?
Ensure that after the website is built, you have all the necessary credentials, licenses, and ownership to make updates and changes as needed.
6. Website Speed and Security
Site speed is crucial, not only for user experience but also for search engine rankings. A slow-loading website can drive potential customers away. Additionally, security should be a top priority—especially if you’re collecting customer data or making sales through the site.
Things to Consider:
- How quickly does the website load on mobile and desktop?
- Is the website hosted on secure, reliable servers?
- Does the website have SSL certificates to ensure secure browsing?
Both speed and security are vital to the success of your site, and a good agency should prioritize these elements from the start.
7. Design Flexibility and Customization
While templates can be a great start, you may need unique customization to match your brand and stand out from competitors. A website that looks generic or fails to reflect your unique business identity won’t engage customers as effectively. Whether you’re doing it yourself or working with an agency, ensure that the design allows for flexibility and is easy to update.
Things to Consider:
- Will you be able to easily update content (e.g., text, images) without needing a developer every time?
- Is the design adaptable to your brand’s look and feel?
- Does the site allow for future customizations without needing a complete redesign?
Make sure that the agency or platform provides a level of design flexibility that supports your business needs without being overly complex to manage.
8. Tracking and Analytics Setup
Understanding how visitors interact with your site is crucial to improving its performance over time. Make sure your website includes tracking and analytics from the start, so you can monitor visitor behavior, traffic sources, and other key metrics.
Things to Consider:
- Does the website have Google Analytics or other tracking tools installed?
- Can you track important metrics like bounce rate, page views, and conversions?
- Are the analytics reports easy to understand?
If an agency is building your website, ensure they set up analytics for you and provide guidance on how to read the reports. If you’re doing it yourself, familiarize yourself with basic analytics tools so you can track and improve performance.
9. Ongoing Support and Maintenance
Building a website is just the first step; maintaining it is equally important. Bugs, outdated plugins, or broken links can harm your user experience and SEO. Whether you’re working with an agency or managing the site yourself, make sure there’s a plan in place for ongoing support and maintenance.
Things to Consider:
- Does the agency offer support packages or a maintenance plan?
- Are you capable of handling basic updates or troubleshooting?
- Is there a system in place for regular backups and security updates?
A well-maintained website ensures smooth functionality and helps you avoid costly errors or downtimes that can harm your business.
