You can choose to build it yourself learning from online tutorials or books or you can hire a web designer service to get it done for you.
2. Write Content to Please Humans and Spiders
A website is a simple way to communicate message to the visitors and it’s very important that your content is capable enough to satisfy them. In order to achieve this you need a content rich website.
Try to include tutorials, articles, tips and articles so that relevant content will hold your visitors' interest to your site long enough and they would return to your pages again and again.
Try to use simple words in short paragraphs and good quality information when writing. Try to avoid using jargon, as many visitors may not understand it.
Content is also important because it plays a significant role when your web site is indexed by the search engine spiders. Content rich websites attract both visitors and search engines.
If you want to see your website on top of the search engines try to design it in the following manner:
- write relevant, easy to understand, keyword rich content
- design simple and easy navigation
- use clean and crisp design elements
- create fast loading pages
