Well first of all because its MINE.

You have to understand that Facebook, LinkedIn or any other social media platform is FREE and you don’t own it. It is more of a rented online space for you to use. Facebook can be turned off any day and then all of your content will go away and be lost. Your web page is the safest place to keep your great content.

Social media platforms are not yours. They are rented online space! Build/buy your own web page

People are looking for you online and they want to know these 3 things:

• Who are you?
• What do you do/offer
• How can they contact you?

The web page makes you easier to find! Understand that people are lazy and they want answers immediately. If they have to spend some time to find you, the deal is off. Make yourself available online!  

Let me give you some advantages of having your own web page:

• 97% of consumers are buying/searching online
• Increases visibility
• Builds the trust factor
• Engages users with content
• It’s yours

Now let me give you some disadvantages of not having your own web page:

• 30% of consumers won’t consider a business without a website
• Social media reach is getting lower
• Your competition is online

I always wanted to have one but I didn’t know how to do it. So I started to learn.

When I was courageous enough to go make my first the process took forever with all these trials and errors but i made it.

Then I made another one, then another one, then another.

I got pretty good with it 😀

I wanted my own to look modern, clean, use just a few colors but most of all to be filled with value.

Your own web page can be a powerful marketing tool for you as well if you use it correctly.

If you decide to have one these are some goals that any web should have.

• Mobile and responsive – Works perfectly regardless of the size of screen or type of device accessing it
• Easy to navigate – Navigation should be smooth and information easily accessible
• A clean and good looking design – Something that looks smooth and professional.
• Works well – It should work, no bugs or errors
• Useful information and good content – give some good value

You can do it! It takes time but you can do it yourself.

If you don’t have time to do it then pay somebody who can just give them as much material as you can about you and what you do.

Remember that every web page has some personality to it, so make your page speaks yours.

36% of web pages are made with WordPress , this one as well. So start there.
