DO I NEED A WEBSITE?

Do you need a website?

We can think of more reasons to have a website than not to have one but the answer is probably: ‘It depends on your business and your business objectives’.

There are also different types of website including;

E-commerce sites

Brochure Sites

Landing Pages

Blogs

Can you create one yourself?

YES! It’s no longer the case that you need a website developer to create you a website although it would depend on what you’re looking to achieve as to whether you should create it yourself.

Tools like WIX or SquareSpace make it simple to build websites yourself but if you’re looking for something a little more comprehensive then we would certainly suggest speaking to a professional.

Self builds tend to be more cost effective but you won’t benefit from the design and experience of a professional. Professionals will also be able to help with things like SEO.

What is SEO?

SEO stands for Search Engine Optimisation. It’s the way in which you can make your website more visible on search engines and it’s used to enhance your search rankings. Typically you’ll be trying to rank for specific key terms or in specific locations. SEO typically takes time to implement.

Reasons to have a website

If you’re looking to become more visible online then having a website online is a good idea. Likewise, if you want to demonstrate your position of authority, build trust and increase inbound leads then a website is a must.

What should you know about hosting?

Once you have a website built, you’ll want to have it hosted. Websites are hosted on servers. It’s essentially hosted on a computer and then your domain name tells people where they can find your website for example legalgrowth.co.uk.

Hosting is likely to be in addition to a web design service. Your domain name will be another cost. Hosting is often charged either monthly or annually. A domain name is normally renewed every year. We advise that you hold your domain name yourself for full control.

What happens with updates?

It depends on the provider. We provide free updates to websites as part of our monthly hosting packages. We also train our clients to be able to update their own websites should they wish.

Can Legal Growth help?

Yes. We have built lots of websites for clients in the legal sector. We can support with all manner of websites and can provide a transparent quote for your consideration.
