You have decided you need an effective web presence, but have you decided what kind of web site you need? Here are just a few things you might want to consider at the very outset of your Internet project. For example, do you want: a predominantly non-database, HTML designed site? This may perform well in search engine rankings, but have you considered who will maintain and update the site for you? Also are there features of the site that just can’t be accommodated by HTML?

• a web site that can be content managed by yourself or your colleagues? A WordPress solution might be for you.
• a blog with your own design – again, WordPress is ideally suited to this kind of project
• a site that allows you to effectively sell products or services online?

There are many ways this might be achieved depending on your specific requirements, from, for example, simple PayPal buttons or a Pay Pal shopping cart to WordPress plug-ins that will enable the secure sale of downloadable digital products, all the way to fully-blown powerful e-commerce solutions. See the WordPress, Selling Online section or our Online Selling page for e-commerce sites for more information.
