Starting and running your own interior design business takes a lot of time and money. You have a million things running through your head at any given time, from finances to marketing, customer service and operations. If that isn’t enough, being successful at owning your own business also requires you to have an online presence.
This begins with a quality website. Consumers are highly dependent on what information is available to them when considering a purchase, and with the internet putting everything at their fingertips, not being one of those online sources can stall your business growth.
Most interior designers likely aren’t web designers on the side, so it’s important to find the right tool or hire the right professionals to create or refresh your website.
When you are a small business, paying someone else to build you a website can be a substantial investment — but it’s important to make getting online a priority.
Why you need a great interior design website
Your interior design website is your online hub. It’s where customers can learn about your background, get your contact information, and see what you can do. A website connects you directly with your audience, making it a direct pathway to growing your business and increasing brand awareness.
To be effective, your website needs to look great and function well.
It should convey the same style and impression your designs would, while making it easy for customers to explore your previous work examples and get in touch. Having a quality website is critical for interior designers (as with every other business out there) because it not only shows your customers your personality and talent, but it makes you more accessible.
So where do you start? You are a professional designer for spaces, but building websites is a whole different game. Can you build your own website if you have no technical experience or background in programming?
The answer is yes – with GoDaddy’s DIY Website Builder (WSB).
