Business Website Gems

I recently saw an article about  book called "Business Websites that Work" by UK Journalist Sean McManus.

It had many useful insights that were right in line with Bold Print's approach to involving our clients in the planning of their websites.

Some tidbits:

• There are many ways that a website can help your company to grow; these will depend on your position in the marketplace and your industry.
   
• Think beyond putting your brochure online.
   
• Although you can outsource your website's design and development, its strategic direction must come from within the company.
  
  
• Nobody knows your business better than you do. If you don't tell your website designers how your website will improve your business, it will only be profitable by accident.

Your "strategic direction" responsibilities are easy when you work with Bold Print. Our Project Planner Guides ask just the right questions to ensure your website works for your business.

Take Control of Your Website

A Content Management System (CMS) is another way that we enable our clients to be in control of their website. It allows you to update the text and images on your own, without any HTML knowledge or anything other than a web browser. You can even add new pages and sections and the software "automagically" adds the links and pages to your site. You can also maintain your own image galleries, upload new customer testimonials, or even start your own blog!

It can save a lot of time as you no longer have to send instructions and then wait for content to be added or modified. And it can save you money, as you no longer have to send payment for each change.

If you're ready to take control of your website, consider a CMS website from Bold Print.
