Developing a Website for Your Business

Developing a high-quality website is crucial for your business because it tells customers about you even while you sleep.

You can attempt to build it yourself, which we did here at Dietitian Doc, or you can outsource it.

We opted for a self-hosted WordPress shell, a lightweight Astra theme with the Pro plugin, and the Elementor Pro site builder.

And then we got to work.

To help us with the basics, we leaned on a FREE Website Tutorial by the Unconventional RD, Erica Julson.

She walked us through how to select and set up our domain, hosting, and theme, and how to make basic pages. The web design is up to you.

The tutorial was essential because as tech newbies, which we were, it’s not exactly intuitive.

Our New Website Is Live

Then, the highly anticipated moment had come. We were going live!

But first, we made sure we had the appropriate security measures and could back up our new site!

Also, we had to learn SEO, or Search Engine Optimization. This is the backbone of which all internet business is conducted.

Learning SEO

SEO is an optimization of your site and content that you add in the hopes that Google will rank your pages in its search engine.

So, if you publish a blog post on your site, you make sure, that by applying SEO, Google can rank that post.

People are then able to find your page and you have a clear way to skyrocket traffic to your site.

This is the mainstay of making passive ad revenue on your site.

The internet can be pretty crowded, and SEO isn’t optional to use if you want to make a splash.

However, SEO isn’t about checking a box. It’s an overarching approach with many facets.

So, yes, we needed help with this too, and got the Unconventional RD’s SEO Made Simple course to help us.

We learned all the facets of SEO, for example, which plugins to use, how to set up Google Analytics and Google Search Console, and when to use Elementor.

We also learned how to use keywords, create backlinks, build authority, and complete a small SEO audit.

Needless to say, we highly recommend the course!

The best part, once you purchase the course, you have access to it for life.

And we’ve already referred back to it many times so it’s a great value.
