1.Domain name selection is the first step

Choosing the right domain name for your website is crucial for both usability and search engine optimization (SEO). Here are some tips for coming up with an ideal domain name:

• 1ST Don't use slang, nonsense words, or words that are extremely esoteric.
• 2nd When expressing the domain name verbally, numbers and hyphens may be misunderstood. They are hard to remember and less elegant and memorable than word-only domain names.
• 3rd Keeping it short makes it easier to remember and type.
• 4th Try to always use a .com domain name (as opposed to .net, .co, etc.) unless it is more appropriate to use another extension, such as .gov, .edu, or .org.
• 5th To facilitate future growth, make the address broad. For example, Amazon.com is much wider than BooksOnline.com, allowing Amazon to sell pretty much any type of consumer good instead of just books
• 6th With so many websites on the internet, it is important that your website name is memorable so people remember how to access it in the future.

2.Display a clear business description prominently

When people visit your small business website, it is vital to let them know who you are and what you do so they do not feel confused. You should have a visual representation of your services as your main homepage banner (also known as a "hero image"), as well as an introductory text blurb that describes who you are and what you do near the top of the page.

3.Develop a content management system that works for you

In simple terms, a content management system (CMS) is an application or software program for creating and managing digital content. It makes it easy for you to maintain your site, and you don't need a lot of technical knowledge to use it. Choosing a CMS that fits your needs is important; different systems are used for different reasons, including user-friendliness, extensibility, and budget.

4. Make sure your website is hosted on a secure, scalable server that provides good technical support

A website host, also known as a website hosting provider, provides the technology and services necessary to make your website accessible on the internet. To connect your domain name with your hosting provider, users that visit your website address will be directed to the pages you store on your hosting account. The cost of these services ranges from $2 - $100+ per month, depending on the level of technology and support you require. A discount can usually be achieved if you opt for an annual plan instead of a monthly one.

5. Make your website's user interface interesting, memorable, and engaging

‍Follow these suggestions to create a website interface that leaves a positive impression and drives results for your small business:

• If your website is slow, search engines like Google will penalize your ranking. Make sure your graphics are compressed and optimized for fast loading.
• Find out what your target audience wants from your site and make it easy for them to get it.
• Create a navigation system that makes it easy for users to find the pages they are looking for.
• Don't forget to include obvious call-to-actions

6 You should optimize your small business website for search engines.

You apply SEO practices to your website to make sure it is indexed and ranked properly so that search engine users can find it easily. Search engines crawl websites, so they compete with websites with similar content. The better your website design and content, the higher your site will appear in search engine results.

In search engine optimization, you apply certain practices to your website in order to ensure it is indexed and ranked correctly by search engines and then shown to people via search engines. The better your website design and content are, the higher your site will rank on search engine result pages. Once your website is crawled by search engines, it competes with other websites with similar content.‍

7 Create and publish quality content on a regular basis

A plan for publishing quality articles and/or blog posts on your site and on external sites that link to your site should include both quantity and freshness, which are both important to search engines. It is important to update your website frequently with new and relevant content if you want to rank highly in search engine results and encourage people to return to your site again and again.
