Whether you are making improvements to an existing website or creating a new website presence you have a few decisions to make in order to achieve your desired goals for what to expect from the website itself.

The first decision you need to make for your Baltimore website design is exactly what is the purpose of the site and we’ll review in this post the types and purposes.

Baltimore Website Design: Type of Sites?

There are generally two types of Baltimore website design sites which are defined by the ultimate purpose of the site. It is critical to understand the difference between the two when considering building a site…especially if you are interested in a return of your investment.

The two types of websites are a Brochure Website and a Marketing Website. Now the common misconception is assuming by having a website at all is that it qualifies as part of your marketing efforts. That is simply not the case and important to understand as it applies to the fundamental principle differences between Marketing and Advertising.

Baltimore Website Design: The Brochure Website

The Brochure Website primary function is to simply educate the visitor on the services, products and history of the company OR sometimes provide some resources exclusively for the purpose of branding. We call it a brochure site because it is really no more than a glorified electronic version of your company brochure.

While brochure sites can play a role in your business to verify your company’s existence for a would be interested prospect , there should be little expectation that it will be a significant part of your overall marketing. For the overall positioning is about the company itself and not on the prospects needs nor provides a compelling reason for that visitor to take an action which is at the heart of a Marketing Website.

The Marketing Website has one mission that is critical to your business. And that is to attract interested visitors and covert them to leads and create the opportunity for more business!

The Marketing Website is all about having the visitor take a specific action that you decide on. Whether that is buying a product, calling a number or entering information such as name and email in exchange for a discount, newsletter, report or a video of valuable and relevant information of interest to the prospect…and that is essential in this type of Baltimore Website Design.

Now to make that happen your Baltimore Website Design site must also contain many other essential marketing elements as well. All of which we go through in detail on the FREE Webinar.

Remember the ultimate goal of a marketing website is to generate new leads and business opportunity for the online success of your business.
