Introduction

A website is a vital necessity in the modern business world. They are really not only for companies that sell or interact online. Every business must have a website presence in order to be found. Despite the fact that there are numerous online stores, brick-and-mortar businesses also need a website to allow them to reach a larger demographic of potential customers online, which would help make them more profitable.

When developing or redesigning your company's website, one of the most important considerations is the website type that best supports your business. When we talk to clients about a website, we frequently take the time to research what type of website would be most appropriate to meet their goals. Trying to fulfil too many goals with your website might lead to user confusion, so choose one purpose for your website to focus on. If you need convincing as to why you need a website, check out our informative article on the subject. Without further ado, here are the 5 types of websites you can build for your business.

Five Types of Websites your Business can Have

The Skin Workshop Website - The Skin Workshop

1. E-commerce or Online Store

If you sell products (or intend to sell them) and want your clients to be able to shop for them 24 hours a day, an online store is the website for you. An online store is similar to a boutique or other retail store, it allows you to connect with customers and list products for sale.

To start an online store, you'll need to set up payments and online business operations like order fulfilment, shipping, and sales tax, among other things; we help e-commerce businesses integrate Paystack or any payment platform of their choosing into their website. Your online business, like every other website, can be integrated with social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, and Pinterest to help you reach more clients.

2. Blogging Website

A blog is an internet platform where you can publish written content (and sometimes photographs and/or videos). If you want to get your thoughts out there or engage in content marketing to help create interest in something you have to sell, a blog might be a great place to start.

As you grow your blog's readership through social media, digital advertising, and other techniques, you may also decide to generate more money through affiliate marketing from your well-deserved traffic. This is when you promote products or services you like to your followers and get a percentage of the earnings from each sale.

3. Lead Generation Website or Landing Page

If you want site visitors to perform a specific action, such as signing up for a free trial, enrolling for a subscription, or contacting you for further information, you should use a landing page.

Creating a landing page allows you to collect personal information from your site visitors, such as names, phone numbers, and email addresses, with the aim of making contacts who could be future leads or prospects for your organization.

Design Porfolio Website - DesignsByKZ

4. Portfolio Website

If you sell services, particularly creative ones, you can use a portfolio to showcase your work and provide information on how interested parties can contact you. In fact, it should be one of your top priorities when starting a business. Portfolios are ideal for artists, authors, designers, photographers, and other professionals who wish to offer potential new clients examples of their best work.

Subscription Page - Aesthetically Cookie

5. Subscription Website

Because of the convenience they offer, subscription businesses are becoming increasingly popular. Subscription-based businesses have their own set of needs, thus they have their own type of website. Subscription sites, which are designed to sell online, are similar to both an e-commerce site and a membership site. One significant difference is that subscription sites must also be designed to collect recurring payments.

Closing
