subject: Why do you need a Website? [print this page] Now if you can make a mark on the web on your own , without taking the help of free services like 1000's are taking - you will not be that Unique . What makes you unique is , you set yourself seperate from others. You are your own boss and you can put what ever you like on your own websites without any boundaries.
There is another, very compelling reason for a business or a company to use a website. Imagine this situation. You are driving along the highway and you pass a billboard for Grandma's Kitchen. The billboard indicates they specialize in awesome chicken roast. Underneath that, you spot their address at 123 some place, and their phone number is 800-800-8000. You also see their website address at www.grandmaskitchen.com. As you are driving along you remember your girl friend or wife is looking for a good chicken dish for her party and she might not have heard of these people. You decide to tell her about them. Can you remember their phone number? How about their address? Now what about their website? I know you remember that! In fact, website addresses tend to be much easier to remember than either phone numbers or addresses. In this way, the website becomes a back-up to the other forms of advertising the business.
Now you got a website what's next?
Advertise - advertise and advertise. There are so many unique ways to advertise your website. Internet, word of mouth , flyers etc.
If you get a good domain name , which is wasy to remember and catchy , people will remember that name like the back of their hands.
Example: You have a website where you sell used parts , so find a name which goes with the name. http://www.usedparts.com or similar name which will make sense with the website. or just use your name like i did. http://www.durriya.com . What does durriya mean? It's a name in my family and i used it to get the domain name. Why? It's easy to remember , it's short and it is catchy - don't you think? Now when ever you or some one needs web hosting or web design my catchy name will play drums in their ears. Durriya , Durriya - do you hear it?
So what are you waiting for? Decide already and put your "Mark" on the web , start you Internet DNA already .
