Why Do You Need a Website?
To start with, a website is the foundation of your online presence. It is a more complete tool than social media. It is also a place where you can gather all the information regarding you and your business. This can include your story, your past experiences, your services, your fees, etc. A website allows you to be open 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. If you want to be found, you must start by being on search engines. Millions of searches are made on Google every day. We are sure that you want your website to appear on search results, right? Moreover, you will look like a credible professional if you have a website. Do not forget to add a website mention on your business cards or flyers.

When we created WebSelf, we kept in mind the needs of freelancers. Indeed, we wanted to create an accessible website editor that could be used by a hairdresser, a plumber or a baker. No programming skills are required with WebSelf. It is also the reason why we became partners with the UAE, a French union of entrepreneurs with more than 360 000 members.

Keep control of your website and make sure it answers your needs. It is even possible to create a free website with WebSelf if you want to try our website editor. Did you know that we have more than 200 different templates too?
