Building credibility
through your website
and finding you online
in the Music Industry.
Websites build credibility, showcase your music expertise, and provide information for your prospective customer to make informed decisions.
As a musician, music teacher, music producer, or any other music professional in the industry, being found online is a key element in making connections, finding opportunities, and building your business in today’s world.
There is no shortage of website designers and companies offering websites for unbelievably low prices, which makes you wonder – what’s the difference?
Here are 5 things to consider when hiring a website designer that will consider the many elements required to build credibility and your online presence:
1.
Review their design skills. Get testimonials and references.Visit websites they’ve designed and ask yourself: “would I buy from these companies”
2.
Cookie-cutter websites may be inexpensive, however, a website that is designed with your customers in mind provides more direction in the sales process. Invest in a designer who understands your business.
3.
What happens after your website is launched? Your designer should provide you with all logins and ownership of your website to continue with updates in your business and for search engine SEO.
4.
Are you being found in the music industry? Designers can easily integrate strategies to ensure your website is optimized for search engines – ask them to include this.
5.
Avoid hiring your niece or nephew unless they are experienced in the industry of music industry websites. Pay for what you need and get what you pay for – Get 2 to 3 quotes and find out what’s included. Ask a lot of questions! Reputable, well designed small business websites should cost between $2000 and $3000. Be prepared to invest in a website that truly reflects your business and converts your music website visitors into customers.
