If you’re a sole trader, run a small business or are thinking about starting up your own business, having a business ready website is probably an essential part of your strategy. For some businesses, a website is an essential, core component of the business. Over the last few years Internet based businesses or presence has become more of a ‘must have’ rather than a ‘nice to have’ for businesses.
At the moment pressure is on many businesses to perform due to global and local economic factors causing rising inflation, rising costs and a slowdown in economic growth. For small businesses now is the time to work smarter. You’ll want your website to be positioned as best as possible to ride out any potential economic storm fronts.
Website building is where EverWeb can be a great help to the sole trader or small business. Here’s how EverWeb can give you the edge over your competitors in challenging business conditions!
Easy to Use and Easy to Learn
If you’re looking for a website builder you’ll want a product that’s easy to learn and use as well as having the power features that you need for your business. EverWeb’s commands and features are typically only one to two mouse clicks away so it’s not difficult to find the features you need quickly. EverWeb’s feature set is also context sensitive so you only get the options you need for the task that you are doing.

All the Features You Need in One Product
Whilst EvertWeb is already feature rich the product also has over 25 built in widgets to supplement its core functionality making the product extendable if you need to integrate with other products or services. This is immensely useful and it’s usually easy and quick to integrate other software products in to your website’s pages. Some products are directly supported within EverWeb e.g. PayPal for shopping carts and Social Media support for apps such as such as FaceBook, Pinterest and LinkedIn. Other integrations can be hooked in to EverWeb, typically with little work e.g. calendaring and Event systems such as Calendly, shopping apps such as Shopify, audio apps such as SoundCloud and so on.
EverWeb’s core features also deliver what you expect from a contemporary product e.g. responsive website design, fully featured blogging and advanced Contact Forms and Contact Form management features.
Search Engine Optimization at Your Fingertips!
Many businesses engage with another core EverWeb feature – Search Engine Optimization or SEO for short. SEO helps with search results rankings when you’re searching for something on the Internet. SEO built directly in to EverWeb so you don’t need to do anything if you don’t want. EverWeb uses your input in to your site for SEO purposes automatically. However, other tools are available if you need to fine tune your SEO. Checkout the SEO for EverWeb Video course on EverWeb’s own site for details of how to more effectively use SEO in EverWeb. If SEO is business critical for you, then you have the optional SEO Power Up add on which will help you fine tune your SEO using advanced tools so you can take your SEO to the next level.
Meeting Customer Expectations
Making sure that your customer data is secure is an ever higher priority for any business website. Using a secure site is a key concern to many customers so it’s recommended that you use HTTPS. It’s reassuring for customers and a good value add for your business. If you have your own hosting, ask your hosting provider for details.
