How to Write Your Contact Page

Britt — Sun, 07 Apr 2024 18:55:44 +0000

If you’re creating content for your new website, let’s start with the easy stuff and check off what you’ll need for your contact page.

Here’s how to write your contact page:

Include Your Basic Contact Info

Store address
Phone number
Email address
Hours of operation

If you work remotely, or don’t have a physical location that customers visit, you should still include a mailing address. This sends a positive signal to Google and your customers that you are a real business.

Include a Contact Form

We’ll include a basic contact form that includes these fields:

First Name
Last Name
Email
Phone (optional)
Message

It’s important to keep your contact form simple. The less people have to fill out, the better. Just get their basic information to collect leads.

If you need a more advanced form, we can create one elsewhere on your site.

Confirmation Message

After the user submits the contact form, they’ll see a confirmation message. This is your chance to say “Thank you for getting in contact!”. You can also let users know when they should expect to hear from you, or if there’s anything they should do next while they wait for your response.

Notifications

You’ll receive an email notification every time someone submits a form. We can also set up these notifications to go to multiple email addresses, and also send a notification to the user who sent the form. Let us know what works for you.

Embed Google Maps

If you have a physical location customers visit, we’ll embed a Google Maps map so users can find you you and get directions to your business.

If you’re just launching your small business website, the WordPress Hosting Starter Plan from HostGator will work perfectly.

Be sure to register your hosting and domain name under your own name, with your updated billing info on file to ensure you have full control of your website.

Once you’ve signed up, make sure to keep your account username and password in a safe place.

BlueHost and Siteground also offer reliable and affordable WordPress hosting.

If you’re ready to take the next step with your website and are looking for fast, managed WordPress hosting, we strongly recommend WP Engine.

How to Set Up Your Business Email

Britt — Sun, 24 Mar 2024 09:31:05 +0000

You’ll want your business email to match your name domain so it looks like info@yourdomain.com.

If you’re getting marketing material printed, or doing any sort of promotional activities, you’ll want to include your business email, not your personal email address.

Avoid using Gmail, Shaw, Telus, Hotmail or any other free email address for your business, as they look unprofessional.

We recommend two options for setting up your business email. You can either go with GoDaddy or HostGator.

Both come with pros and cons, so you can decide what’s best for your business.

Option 1: Set Up Email with GoDaddy

Pros:

Easy set up.
No technical knowledge required.

Cons:

Costs more.

You can purchase email hosting with GoDaddy at the same time as your domain name.

GoDaddy’s “Email Essentials” package is perfect for small business owners.

Or choose “Microsoft Office 365” and get Microsoft Office web apps and email.

Option 2: Set Up Email with HostGator & Gmail

Pros:

Use the friendly Gmail interface.
Cheaper.

Cons:

More technical to set up.

HostGator includes unlimited email accounts with your WordPress hosting plan. Learn more about how to choose the best WordPress website hosting.

Once you have your hosting account set up <<>>, you can simply create an email address from cPanel, and then send and receive email from Gmail.

That way you’ll get the best of both worlds. You can create your business email at no extra cost, and use the familiar Gmail interface to send and receive emails.

Learn how to configure your Hostgator email account with Gmail.

How to Choose the Perfect Domain Name

Britt — Mon, 18 Mar 2024 10:23:58 +0000

If you already have a business name, you’ll want to see if you can register it as your domain name.

If you’re still deciding on a name for your business, you’ll have more options for your domain name.

Here are some tips for choosing the perfect domain name:

Get The .COM And .CA

Tie up both domain names so your competitors can’t. You can forward the .ca to the .com or vice versa. This protects your brand name and users can find you easier.

Make It Short

No one wants to type out a long domain name over and over. And when you use your domain as an email address, it will be even longer. Keep it as short and sweet as possible.

Make It Easy To Remember

Don’t add unnecessary dashes, and leave out function words like “the”. You don’t need to start your domain name with the word “the”. Remove any cluttery words.

Make It Easy To Spell

Don’t try to be clever with cute spellings. If you’re on the phone with your customer and you tell them your domain name, they shouldn’t have to guess how to spell it. Make it obvious. Trust me, you’ll get frustrated with people not knowing how to spell your name, and having to remind people.

Include Keywords

Consider using keywords in your domain name that people would use to search for your business.

There is much debate about whether Google still uses this as a ranking factor, but it certainly doesn’t hurt because it shows relevancy to your topic.

Make Sure It’s Available

If your domain name is already taken, you’ll need to think of a different name. Keep trying until you find one that’s available and matches the criteria above.

As a last resort, you may be able to buy the domain name you want at a premium price.

Get Feedback

Lastly, be sure to invite your friends, co-workers and family to get feedback on your name.

This is something you’ll want to get right from the start as it will be a lot of work and rebranding if you need to change it in the future.

Type out your domain name. How does it look? Watch other people type it out. Do people make the same typos?

Register Your Domain

Go for it. Grab that perfect domain name and move forward with creating your site!
