What you do online matters to your business and the website you have is a HUGE business tool. So what are your options when it comes to building a website? In this post we are going to take a look at FOUR different options for you so that you can decide once one is best for your health coaching business.
Let’s break down your options:
Wix.com
Price Range:$$
Description: A simple DIY that has helped many soloprenurs and health coaches get a site up and running with a minimal investment. The downside – if you have never created a site before what are you supposed to put on it, what do you say, what is a good Call to Action, and is this even going to help you stand out and get clients?
Skills Required: Low to Med tech ability to navigate site builder, time and ability to modify templates and create content
Risks involved: The risk involved here is minimal. It could cost you some time and a tiny bit of money. You will have to invest in content creation and possibly a copywriter.
DIY WordPress.org
Price Range: $ – $$$$
Description: WordPress is the backend for nearly 60% of the world’s websites from fortune 100 companies to personal blogs. The WordPress community includes 10,000+ private developers building add-ons. These powerful “plugins” and “themes” require trouble shooting, maintenance and occasionally basic coding skills.
Skills Required: Basic understanding of Hosting & DNS, Med-High tech ability to problem solve, software maintenance, entry level css, html, php a major plus, basic design skills, content creation
Risks Involved: For health coaches, this can take up some major time and you need to be prepared to go through a learning curve. At the end of the day you could invest countless hours and come up with a website that you are not happy with.
Professional Developer
Price Range: $$$$+
Description:
Good Developers are hard to find, but if you find one in your price range, with availability and who you can trust you’ll hopefully end up with a unique health coaching website tailored to your needs.
Even when working with a web designer you need to come up with the content for them, the calls to action, and the ideas. When dishing out so much cash it’s important to work with someone who understands your industry, knows what your health coaching clients are looking for, and can help you communicate effectively to your audience. Sometimes these projects can go horribly wrong because of lack of experience, which can leave you a little jaded and a little broke.
Skills Required: Content Creation
Risks Involved: Hiring the wrong person can not only cost you time but serious cash. It can be the difference maker of you making a profit in your business and you being in the red so choose carefully.
Somethings to look for in a web designer:
- Testimonials
- Websites already created
- What type of site they create (WordPress)
- Integration ability with email, pops etc
- Price for edits down the road
