If you’re looking to take your clothing alteration business to the next level, you probably already know that you’ll need to create a website for your company. Why? Because if you don’t have some kind of web presence, you’re missing out on the ever-increasing number of people who look for the best place to get alterations or tailoring on the internet.
Consider this: 55% of people will search online for reviews and recommendations and 47% will visit your company’s website first before making a purchase.
If you think that behaviour doesn’t apply when people are looking for services like clothing alterations, you may be in for a rude awakening.
While word of mouth is still a huge part of what makes a successful business – that’s one part of the business that is never going to change – if you’re hoping to get new customers, a website is crucial.
Creating A Clothing Alteration Website
In order to create a clothing alteration website, you’ll have to follow these three steps:
Step 1: Find Hosting.
The actual space on a computer where your website files liveStep 2: Choose and Purchase a Domain
The Domain is the “name” of your website: what you actually type into your Internet browser to access the web pageStep 3: Build The Website
