Website Design in Birmingham, AL

Like Huntsville and Montgomery, Birmingham is a big-shouldered city with a lot going on. A Birmingham business without a great website is at a disadvantage. A professionally designed website, like those Best Websites builds every day, is the key to cutting through all the competitive static. Best Websites knows how to create websites that ascend the search engine rankings and get results. Could your Birmingham business benefit from a stronger web presence?

If you have thought about getting a new website for your business, you’re in good company. After all, having a website – even for a small, local business – raises your profile, adds to your credibility, and improves lead generation.

Your website is your property and your own piece of online real estate. It is an outstanding tool for highlighting what sets your business apart from the competition, and it can answer common questions potential customers might have. Moreover, websites are excellent for showcasing positive testimonials from current customers.

The world is home to 4.5 billion active internet users, and without a website, your business is mostly invisible to them. Even if you own a small, local business that is engaged in the Birmingham community, a website improves your visibility. This is particularly true since COVID pushed more of the marketplace online.

What May Be Holding You Back

It’s understandable if you haven’t yet pulled the trigger on launching a website. It’s no minor feat, and you have probably seen poorly designed websites that don’t reflect well on businesses.

Some business owners think that having a page on Facebook can take the place of having a website, but that’s not the case.

Because it is so easy to create a Facebook page, doing so doesn’t necessarily add the credibility and gravitas you want for your Birmingham business. A Facebook (or other social media site) page is a great adjunct to your business website, without question. But there are serious limitations to social media pages.

Your Birmingham business deserves the kind of attention and engagement that you can only get from having a business website.

Social Media Limitations

  You don’t own your Facebook page, and Facebook outages can take away your entire online presence if you don’t have a website.

  Most people use search engines like Google rather than Facebook when searching for local businesses.

  Social media sites like Facebook are engineered to keep people scrolling. They’re not designed for focusing attention on a particular provider of products or services.

  A website, on the other hand, ensures you have your potential customer’s attention.

  You can make your website look however you want, and that is not the case with your social media page.

DIY or Hiring a Designer Are Not Your Only Options in Birmingham

Yes, there are DIY website builders widely available, but even the most user-friendly of these rapidly becomes complex when you need a feature the templates don’t offer. And the costs can add up if you buy the extras you need to make your site resemble what you want.

On the other hand, hiring a website designer can set you back $10,000, whether you live in Birmingham or New York City. That’s a steep price to pay for a designer who may be hard to reach or who may design a site that’s more of a monument to their ego than a site that will help your business.

Fortunately, there is another alternative. Best Websites has built hundreds of websites for businesses that don’t want a DIY solution or a prohibitively expensive designer. And we build them for businesses just like yours.

You Don’t Want Just Any Website in Birmingham

Whether you own a roofing company, an insurance agency, or a self-storage business, you want a website that showcases what makes your Birmingham business stand out. And that is exactly what Best Websites does.

We know how to create the look and user experience your customers want and how to incorporate website content that helps your site climb to the front page of search engine results. We know how to help the people looking for your products and services to find your website easily. And we can help you build an effective digital marketing plan as well.

You don’t have to spend an excessive amount of money to have an effective, attractive website that you will be proud of. We know that because that is what we do.

Ongoing Service and Support in Birmingham

One problem that Birmingham businesses encounter with DIY websites and expensive designers is that they can’t always get the help they need after launching their website. What if they want to add a feature or update the information on their website? It can turn into a chore.

Best Websites works with businesses from step one through launch and beyond. In fact, we assign a dedicated launch specialist to every client we build a website for. You will have a point of contact who knows your account, knows your business, and knows how to solve problems.

And since sites built by Best Websites are sold on an affordable subscription basis, you won’t have to worry about site upgrades or surprise costs. What’s more, all of the websites we build use responsive design. That means they look great on whatever device a web user has: phone, tablet, laptop, or desktop!

If you need customer chat tools, appointment scheduling, or want to add a pop-up to announce a special, it’s no problem. Try doing that with a DIY website or a high-priced designer. In fact, if you want to, you can make your own minor changes to your site without having to write code.

In short, with a Best Websites solution, your Birmingham business can focus on your core business activities without worrying about whether your website is doing what it should.

What Type of Website Can I Get in Birmingham?

Essential

Get up to 5 pages to summarize all your services or highlight a select few.

image of a medio size boat

Growth

Get up to 10 pages of SEO-enriched content for your products or services.

Professional

Get up to 15 pages from our SEO content library for your specific industry.

Best Websites offers three website packages for Birmingham industries: Essential (up to 5 pages), Growth (up to 10 pages), and Professional (up to 15 pages). Currently, the Growth package is the most popular.

Whichever package you choose, you can preview your site within 7 days, with an estimated launch date of 30 days or fewer. This is particularly important because it’s often difficult to pin an independent web designer down to a timeline, and the launch of a DIY website depends on how much time you plan to spend creating it (and purchasing the extras you need).

What’s more, getting an in-demand independent designer to make changes can be a challenge. Also, will they perform analytics? Who knows? Will they update your site as needed? Not likely. And if you try to go the DIY route, analytics, updates, and changes all fall on you.

If you need or want additional digital marketing services, don’t count on an independent designer to tackle it. You can DIY digital marketing, but do you really have the time it takes to develop effective strategies, execute them, and then analyze them for effectiveness? Best Websites does.

How We Build Your Birmingham Business Website

Our first step is always listening to what our customer needs and wants. And for customers who are unsure, we can propose solutions that make sense.

We can help you decide how many pages your website needs, what information each should contain, and whether digital marketing services make sense for your business.

Once we work together to develop a website plan, our writers and designers go to work building your site with design and content proven to captivate attention and keep people interested. We also use the most time-proven search engine optimization (SEO) techniques to help your website rise to the top of search results.

After you preview the preliminary design, we make any necessary changes or corrections and then proceed at full speed to design the entirety of your website. And if you have questions or concerns along the way, you can contact your dedicated Digital Assistant to get you the answers you need.

When your site is ready to go live, your launch specialist will ensure that everything is correct and in order. Best Websites will even claim, verify, and fill out a Google Business Profile for your business if you don’t have one. This is one of the most important free marketing tools Birmingham businesses have in terms of dominating local searches.

Once your site is launched, you will be proud of your web presence and confident that you are showcasing your Birmingham business in the best possible light.
