Home Business Websites - How to start a simple home business site

New businesses are getting started everyday.  Now you can get a home business website started really quickly.  You don't need to know a lot either.


Blogs are the easy way to get online for a home business owner.  A new home business is probably going to want to save some money while getting up to speed with the internet.


Build a basic company website with a blog.  What are your products and services?  Make a list of all the content that you want to include on your site.  Company contact information should be placed in an area where your prospects can easily find it.


Take some pictures.  Adding images can make your site more appealing.  Websites need to contain a good deal of content but it is also a great idea to have images that complement the text.


Create short videos that give your visitors something interactive.  Video can convey more information in less time.  Instead of your prospects having to read a really long blog post, you could create a video series and include it on your site.  


Compile all the information that you want to include on your new site, so that you don't have to wait after the technical details are done.  Some of the things that you will need to create a site include getting a domain name and ordering web hosting.  After you get those crucial pieces in place, you are ready to begin getting your site ready.


Blogs are a specific type of website.  They include four main parts. The header, main body, sidebar, and footer are usually included in most blogs.  


Blog headers can be text or graphical banners.  When just starting out, you may just want to keep the simple text header.  Also consider including a description of the site too.  


You have to think about how you want to organize your site.  Blogs have two kinds of information.  Blog posts and blog pages are the general ways that you show your text.  Blog posts are updated and included in descending order.  So your most recent blog posts will appear at the top of your site.   Blog pages are more static and they could appear in a menu.  


Adding information to a blog is as simple as creating a new document.  Just type in or copy and paste the text that you want to appear and hit the publish button.  You should be able to click a preview button to see how your new site looks to online visitors.  


Blogs are one of the quickest ways to get your home business online.  You can decide to start a site and in a few minutes you can be online and ready to present information to your prospects.
