Getting Your Business OFF the Ground...
STEP 1: Logo Design!
The beginning of your business is your branding, starting with your logo. Your logo identifies you, your brand and communicates what you are all about. So stage one is naming your business and creating your brand logo.
A few samples:
See: Steps of Logo Design , which explains the designing process.
Once your logo is created, that "theme", style, colors, feel...etc....can be carried into the rest of your branding. Such as setting theme for your Custom Website. Answer simple questions about color and style etc. with this logo questionnaire. Start your ORDER now!
STEP 2: Open your WIX.COM account to get your website started.
For convenience, I will create a Wix Account for you! I just need your preferred email and a password. It can be a shared password at first if you like. Once it is created, I can choose a website template to start off with, and add myself as your "web designer"
Then Let Your Site Begin!
HOW MUCH IS WIX? WIX WEBSITE SUBSCRIPTIONS
Your website can be built FREE until you are ready to upgrade and buy your domain. Wix subscriptions vary, but a yearly site is around 170.00-270.00 (and up) and a domain around 20.00 dollars per year, depending on the level you choose. E-Commerce sites are typically more expensive (start at around 250.00 per year and up) because they need more special functions such as store inventory product templates, check-out and credit card processing.
TIP: If contact links and simple forms are the main functions needed for your site, then the LIGHT plan will be all you need!
STEP 3: DIGITAL MARKETING AND ADVERTISING!
Don't Stop, Keep Going!
Once you have achieved the first few steps, don't stop there! No one will buy your product or service If they don't know it exists!!!! Which is why you need a marketing plan. Being active on social media platforms, sharing, posting, email marketing, youtube videos, LinkedIn, paid advertising....so people see you, find you, get to know you and then eventually buy. If you need help consider a monthly marketing subscription.
STEP 4: PRINT PROMOTION!
PRINT DESIGN: BUSINESS CARDS/FLYERS/BROCHURES/VEHICLE DESIGNS....ETC....

I can help with this, and I offer assistance in Vistaprint ( or your preferred printer ) so they are set-up and ready to order!
