design business online.
Create a Portfolio Page

website where you can showcase all the websites that
you have worked on. Include a screen shots of the
website along with a link to the same so that visitors
can visit the website and check out the design in
detail. Along with this, also include brief information
about what you have done for the website. Was it the
development work, the design or redesign process or
some other maintenance task? This lets the visitors
know about your approach towards working for a website.

website by reading through its contents. Your content
should give a extremely clear idea about your company
and business to the audience. Explain them about the
products and service that you offer and how it would
benefit their businesses. Use simple sentences and
language so that visitors can understand well. Avoid
using complex industry jargons.
Create a Blog

regular content and to carry out and informal dialogue
with your audiences. You can have a informal discussion
with your audience about the industry and gather in
their comments as well. This will also give your a

your target audience.

platform to promote your business to Internet users.

social networking websites like Facebook, MySpace
etc. and connect with your industry audience. Communicating
with them on a social and informal level would give
you valuable knowledge about your niche industry and
audience.

and read the testimonials, they are more likely to
trust you and further invest their money in you.
