Website Designer For Knoxville TN

RDPShop IT Services is a Website Designer for Knoxville TN and beyond. It is important to help small local businesses. I find the best way is by not charging the high and outrageous prices big marketing companies do. The bigger companies do have a lot to offer but they also have prices that a small mom and pop shop can't afford. RDPShop Services offers affordable prices and tailors the services to exactly what a business needs.

Same goes for bloggers or those that just want their own personal websites. There is no need in charging a high fee to help get someone started with a website. You can find many free website builders out there, but there are hidden cost if you actually want to be found on the internet. If things are not setup properly, your site will never be seen.

RDPShop IT Services is not only a website designer for Knoxville TN, it has reached out and helped other small businesses in many other states. Some businesses know exactly what they want on a website and other require some analysis to determine what will help them most.

If you own a business, you don't exist without a website or some social recognition. There are some businesses that do well by "Word-of-Mouth," but most really rely on getting traffic to their company. Many small businesses take to social media such as Facebook, Twitter or Instagram, but that type of advertisement is limited. With a website, you can add as much information and create ways to interact with your customers.

Getting You Started

Free Website Builders usually require a monthly plan for hosting. To be found on the internet, you have to buy a domain name. Commercials do not explain those extra expenses and steps, and they are crucial. There is also a process called SEO, (Search Engine Optimization), that is also crucial. If you do not understand it or have the experience, you are wasting your time and money on those type builders. That is why it is best to go with a professional website builder.

If you are a local business, it is far easier to work with a webiste designer for Knoxville TN, than remotely. Even though I feel some of these bigger companies are good. I feel it you get a better job by working with someone local to see your business in action. That can make all the difference in getting the right word out on the internet.

Getting Started Checklist

In order to have a  website, there are some things you will need before getting started. Below you will find a checklist of items that is crucial before your website can be built. 

Checklist Explained

To Make Website Live

• Niche - Choosing a niche is easier if you are business. If you sell window cleaner, then that is going to be your niche. However, if you are a blogger, you will need to know what your site is going to be about. Even if you are a business, you need to know what you want to tell the public. Just having a website with your company name will not fully help. 
• Domain Name - Your domain name needs to reflect your business or what your blogging about. Choosing the right name will help you be found in search engines. It also needs to be specific. If you were selling golf equipment, you wouldn't want to call it "golf.com." You would be competing with golf companies all over the world. You would pick something more specific like "dansgolfingshop.com" or put your city or street within the name.  Find Your Domain Name Here
  
• Hosting - This is an entity that actually houses the website. Your website has to be on a server, there are companies that charge by the month or year that allows you to keep your site running. There are factors that have to be considered when choosing a hosting provider, speed and support are crucial. Get Hosting Here
  

What Is Needed For Your Website

• Keywords - In order to be found in a search engine such as Google, you need to find keywords that will help others find you. Back to the golf scenario, if you were to search for just golf, you will find millions of returns, none of which will be your business. So you need to have a plan of at least one keyword that can be entered that will target your site. Such as "golf products westend chicago."
• Images - Images increase your SEO, makes it easier for you to be found. For every image you place on your site, using "alt tags" is like attaching a key word to the image. This helps your site be found on the internet. You can get plenty of Royalty Free Images from Canva, Pixabay, or Freepik
  
• Content - Many businesses or people want a website but then do not know what they want it to say. You have to figure out what you want to convey to the public or your readers. Without content, there is no real reason to have a website.
