CRO
Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) is the process of optimizing your site experience based on visitor behavior to improve the probability of the visitor taking desired actions (conversions).
It’s getting people to call the number on the sign.
There are both related design principles at play here and a refined process of testing A and B scenarios.
CRO is arguably the first item you would want to develop on your site. SEO is a close second. Without attention to CRO visitors may be finding their way to your site, but there may be little hope of capturing their business.
SEO
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is what brings traffic from the internet to your site. In the analogy above, think of SEO as what causes people to look at your billboard.
This is accomplished in two ways— Organic or paid.
Ie.. Call you, fill out a contact form, or sign up for your monthly newsletter.
Marketing
Marketing is a broad category that could arguably include CRO and SEO.
Marketing for web is like setting up a detour sign that diverts even more traffic down your street, posting smaller signs on other streets pointing the way to your billboard, or papering parked cars and homes with flyer sized call to actions.
For your website, there are many methods but two prominent options are to maintain an e-mail newsletter and/or pay for advertisements.
What kind of website do I need?

Ai prompt builder
Overall, we recommend WordPress.org for flexibility and the option to choose your own hosting.
See the WordPress.com’s blog post WordPress.com vs WordPress.org: What’s the Difference? on the topic for an enlightening comparison.
Recommendation
The vast majority of small businesses we work with(and across the ENTIRE world) build their sites using a CMS like WordPress, Wix, or SquareSpace.
But— what’s right for your business?
The primary influencing factors for this decision can be identified with these questions:
Hosting & Domain Setup
The setup of these two things will begin with an account creation. If you’ve picked what you would like to build your site on, that’s a good start.
To do your own diligence, google “Best hosting for _____ sites” and fill in the site creation method of your choice. You will find many articles weighing the pros/cons of the most competitive hosting providers for you.
Speed and ease of use are the two primary factors I’d encourage you to consider when selecting your hosting. We recommend SiteGround, WP Engine, and GoDaddy.
Hosting providers that offer Managed WordPress Hosting provide additional optimization features and tools for WordPress websites. You can host a WordPress website on any hosting solution(that I know of)— but, not all hosting solutions will allow you to install WordPress, clear its cache, and run updates for WordPress within their interface.
Domains
For simplicity, register your domain through your hosting provider as well(if your provider offers the option).
Otherwise, you will need to either change your domains nameservers to match your hosting nameservers, or create an A record within the DNS records of your hosting registrar set to the IP address of your website. You should be able to find the nameservers and the IP within your hosting environments settings.
Turnaround Time
The process from contract start to site launch can range from as little as a week to as long as 6 months to a year.
Factors influencing website build time include:
