Why Site Traffic is Worth your Attention [Plus a Bonus Guide on Ways to Increase It]

As an online entrepreneur, I am lucky enough to connect with people everyday across a variety of industries. We get to talk shop and share our thoughts on tech trends, insights, best practices and the value that websites bring to businesses. This is something I hugely enjoy and appreciate...except when I hear people preaching bad advice!

By now you know that as a writer and web developer, my number one goal is to help people build websites for their businesses that are as profitable, simple and effective as they can be. There is a lot of information out there, a lot of which is out of date or totally off the mark, and it can be tough to figure out who to trust.

If you want a website that captures the attention and interest of new visitors, drives sales and simplifies communications, you must design and build a website that meets your needs.

A Manifesto About Starting and Building a Website

If you’re anything like the other members of the community who visit my website, you’re here for one of two reasons.

Most of you already have a website and now you're ready to optimize it. You want it to have a killer design, great functionality and you want to make it as profitable as possible. You've already put in the hard work to get it up and running and now you want to take it to the next level.

On the flip side, what if you fall in the second group of people: those who don’t have a website yet? Maybe you have an idea in your head for either a personal or business website, but at this point, you have nothing to show for it.

Have you asked yourself what's holding you back? Why haven’t you started this project?

Five Questions to Ask Yourself so that You Don't End Up With a Regrettable Website

Alright alright alright, it's finally time to get that website you've had in mind up and running! Maybe this website relates to a business idea you've been mulling over for a while; maybe you're ready to try out side hustling and you want to get a site together to advertise your services; or perhaps there's something you're passionate about and you're looking for a platform to contribute to the community.

Something is driving you to launch a website, that's awesome.

But now what?! If this is your first time going through the process, you likely have no clue where to start.

Exactly Why it's Totally Cool for Your First Website to Look Awful

I've noticed a trend lately. It's hardly anything revolutionary but for whatever reason, I've tuned into it in a way that I haven't ever really noticed before.

People want amazing results in something new but they are afraid to be a beginner. They are afraid to start at square one and produce something ugly.

Now, we all know that "practice makes perfect" and "everybody has to start somewhere". Those cliches have been drilled into us from childhood, but have they stuck?

What's holding us back? And how does this apply to us, here, on this little site that focuses on all things websites?
