Having a website is crucial for businesses, but personal websites can also be beneficial. Freelancers can showcase their work, individuals can share personal information and keep in touch with friends and family, and those who deal with the public can share basic information. A website can also increase visibility and allow for sharing personal interests.
Owning a website has become an essential part of any business or business venture. A business that does not have a web presence runs the risk of missing out on many opportunities, including the ability to reach customers across the country or even the world. But what about people who don’t own a business? Are there valid reasons to own a personal website? Experts say yes. Here are some cases where owning a personal website can be a great idea:
If you’re a freelancer, having a website is a great way to expose potential clients to your work. Whether you’re a copywriter or web designer, having a website allows you to build a portfolio, provide a bio, and showcase your work. In these cases, a website is like a business card and resume all in one.
If you want to share personal information and/or keep in touch with friends and family, a website is a great tool. Blogs are popular online diaries, but they’re somewhat limited when it comes to design, the type of material you can post, and bandwidth.
If you deal with the public in any form, having a website allows you to share basic information about yourself and post answers to common questions so you don’t have to go through the same thing over and over again.
A website is a great way to become “visible”. Allows people to find you and get in touch while maintaining your anonymity (if you wish); it also spreads your voice and allows you to converse with a large audience without any extra effort on your part. While you can certainly promote yourself locally through print ads or by posting resumes, only a website will put your work in front of a potential client or acquaintance on the other side of the world.
Finally, if you want to share your experience about a particular hobby, sport or personal interest, a website allows you to do so easily and effectively.
