Perhaps you are a startup company in the micro-nano engineering industry. There are a million things you need to do to get your company off the ground. One task is to set up a website for your firm. There is no better way to publicize your new endeavor than with a carefully constructed website. It should give general information on your area of specialty without giving away any trade secrets. Here are three tips for setting up your website:
-
Design: You will want a sleek, high-tech design that showcases your new products. The design should be such that each page addresses one specific topic, and that related topics are linked vertically in a silo fashion. We recommend adopting a WordPress website, as they are most flexible for both content pages and blogs/forums. If you need help setting up your website, you can hire a webmaster consultant to create a superior site. Make sure you populate your site with calls to action and offer something in return for registering with your site, such as a free e-book or access to a special report.
-
Content: Your content must be perfect. You cannot permit any grammatical errors, clumsy usage or other defects, as this will completely undermine your efforts to establish an authoritative website. Your sentences should be short, punchy and to the point. Use extensive pictures and videos to describe your products. If you need help developing your content, seek out a freelance writer with experience writing for scientific websites. You will need to pepper your content on each page with the proper keywords that signal to search engines how to index your site.
-
SEO: Search engine optimization is required to make sure searchers find your site. In addition to the liberal use of keywords, you will need to include good-quality backlinks to your site. A good quality backlink is one from a site that covers a related topic and has a high Page Rank, preferably five or higher. This kind of backlink raises your own Page Rank, and thus will move you closer to Page One of the search results for any of your keywords. You can check backlinks with an online tool that reports who is linked to you. The report should also indicate the Page Rank of each linking site. An SEO specialist can help you set up backlinks.
By following these tips, you will be well on your way to establishing a well-respected, high-ranking website that will have a favorable impact on your company’s prospects.
