Creating a selling website

What is a selling website and what it should be?

Any selling website should have several essential elements that enable it to successfully fulfill its function:

• A strong and engaging value proposition with proper presentation.
• Well-chosen design that is tailored specifically to your product or service. It should be simple enough for any user to easily find the sections or information they are interested in.
• Convenient and clear payment methods, transparent portals. Without them, even a good design won't help your website become a selling platform.
• Adaptation for different platforms, as many users browse information not only from computers but also from mobile phones. Therefore, your website design should have responsive layout.
• Communication, specifically the ability for users to comment or contact a chatbot on the website. This increases the chances of engaging the buyer with your product.
• The presence of a semantic core or keywords that users can use to find your website in browser searches.

These are the main points that need to be considered, but website development involves many more nuances. Therefore, if you find self-development too complicated and time-consuming, it is easier and cheaper to turn to a specialist who can create a website according to all your requirements and preferences.

What do I need to do and know to order the development of the site?

To order website development, you must clearly formulate the technical specifications, which should detail all the components of the design and functionality of the final product. After that, the domain name should be chosen.

A domain name is the website's address in the search bar, such as google.com. A specialist or a company that you have hired for website development can assist you in creating a unique and well-composed domain name, so don't worry if you are unsure about it.

The stages of website development involve detailed work on the website and include the following points:

• Choosing a hosting provider.
• Creating a content management system for your website.
• Developing a semantic core or keyword framework.
• Designing the website, with details that you are already familiar with. (Website design is often created using programs like Figma, Tilda, Wix, etc., which you can explore on your own).
• Coding and content creation. At this stage, the design is transformed into code by a front-end developer, and suitable text optimized for search engines (SEO) is developed.
• Programming, which involves creating algorithms for interaction (such as clickable buttons and links) and integrating with other platforms.
• Testing, configuring, and fixing any errors if necessary.

After completing all the development stages, the next step is promoting the created website. Marketing is done through SMM (social media marketing), SEO (search engine optimization), on-page optimization, content marketing, and more. You can handle the promotion yourself or enlist the help of trained specialists to start generating income more quickly.
