Apologies if this has been asked before but does anyone have any tips for setting up a website for a sole trader?

Is this a brand new site?

What is the trade?

What functionality do you need? (e-commerce, just 5 pages: home, about, services, contact, privacy, or custom calculators etc)

Do you have a domain?

Do you have a logo, imagery and content, or would you need that to be created?

Really depends on how deep you want to go with it. If you have some technical nous, you could just install a WordPress theme and customise it yourself.

There is also Squarespace, Wix or Webflow for the pay-as-you-go, configure it yourself type thing.

Thanks Faz. Just for a private physio practice fairly basic. I've been playing on Ionos this morning that appears to have a deal for £1 per month and 16 pound a month thereafter. Probably the first scenario you said, nothing flash

Are you using a booking system? Sometimes they can give you a front end of the website.

Just make sure you always own your domain name!

Just make sure you always own your domain name!

And are given access to your own website!

Thanks I appreciate that. Spent a bit of time building it today. I'm a systems kind of bloke myself but never put a website together. Like most things its getting familiar with the functionality. Turns out you can teach a middle aged dog new tricks

All set up and running now learned a lot. Question I have though is how I make it appear in a more generalised search. So if I search "kids physio" it comes up but doesn't return for just "physio"

Years ago when I did HTML websites, to make them visable was all about the 'Metatags' you put into the coding. Not sure how you do it now but if there is a Metatag option just put all the words your website is and a search should find them
