With low costs to create an entry level website, it’s difficult to imagine a reason for any company, regardless of size, to not have one.
It’s not only cost that has come down – you can pretty much create a basic website for your business in one day, rather than the back and forth slug with web designers. It’s now an easy process.
Times have changed – no longer do we just stroll down the street when looking for a service or product. No longer do we have the good old Yellow Pages to browse through when searching for a tutor or PT. In 2017, we do things online. With routine visits to Google, Yahoo, and other online sites, customers are constantly seeking places to make their next purchases.
I’m just going to come out and say it: If you don’t have a website, you’re missing out on business. This said, if you have a bad website it’s just as bad, if not worse.
Not having a website means you lose business opportunities, yes, but a bad website can really damage the look of your business. With so many awesome platforms to help design a quality website – in literally minutes – there is really no excuse to not have a website live.
Let me ask you two questions:
If you answered no to either of these questions, it’s time you transform your online presence.
Future Fit Training’s Building Your Fitness Business CPD course, allows you to gain essential skills to develop your fitness business and boost your profits. In addition, our friends at Startup Active highly recommend these 3 platforms to transform your business online and really stand out from the crowd – without any high costs or need for a web developer.
Let’s set your business apart…
You may have heard about Squarespace and with good reason – it’s arguably the most popular website creator right now.
With hosting included, a content management system, visual design tools and access to widgets and add-ons, it’s easy to see why Squarespace is so popular. Plus, they have a great array of themes to choose from, too.
If your business is heavily based on selling products, Shopify is the way to go. Online stores were once quite difficult to create, meaning they were usually costly and quite time-consuming.
Shopify is great because it takes care of all the technical stuff, from payment integration, shipping and more, meaning you can focus on the front-end styling. Shopify is well known for their support, too, ensuring you get help with any issues you come across. So, if you’re running a fitness store and want to take it to the next level, then give Shopify a try.
If you’re a fitness professional, then your go-to website builder is Active Blueprint. The reason for this is that Active Blueprint is purely created for fit pros. Whether you’re a one-man-band PT or run a weekly Bootcamp, AB will help you create a stunning fitness website in minutes!
Unlike the previous platforms, Active Blueprint is built specifically for fitness industry professionals, with tons of pre-built themes to match different professions and a rolling contract, meaning you’re not tied into a big 12 or 24-month plan – it’s purely 1 month rolling.
And as an added bonus – Active Blueprint comes with a marketing forum called Active Fuel Lab, which will help you grow your digital marketing, too!
