Define your website's purpose: Is it for business, blogging, e-commerce, or a portfolio? Clarifying the goal will shape the design and features. Understand your audience: Who are you targeting? This will influence your design choices, content, and tone.

Choose a domain name that’s easy to remember and reflects your brand or website’s purpose. Let Red Rocket secure your domain for you. You could check for availability using online domain registrars (e.g., Hostinger, 123reg, GoDaddy, Namecheap). Extensions: Pick the right domain extension (.com, .org, .net, or region-specific ones like .co.uk).

Red Rocket servers are reliable, fast and economical. These servers are managed in data centers in nine countries: the USA, UK, France, Netherlands, Indonesia, Lithuania, Singapore, India and Brazil. Red Rocket will manage the servers on your behalf.

Should your site require better speeds or greater volumes, then a VPS (Virtual Private Server) can be used to provide better performance and control. This will increase the operational cost.

At the top end, "Dedicated" hosting may be best for a high-traffic site that needs more power, but this will also be more expensive.

All of Red Rocket's websites use a "Responsive" design. This ensures that the site works well on desktop, tablets, and mobile devices.

Visit the Template Section to see a range of ready made website designs.

Red Rocket will always try to provide visual appeal by using a clean layout with consistent colors, fonts, and styles that fit your brand.

If your business already has a logo, this can help with the choice of colour and style. If not, try this free logo design website logo.com.

Great navigation makes it intuitive for users to find information easily (consider a well-structured menu, search bar).

Red Rocket will ensure your site is accessible to people with disabilities (e.g., screen reader compatibility, alt text for images).

You will be able to exchange emails with anyone@yourdomain.

You can have a "catch all" email service. This is where anyword@yourdomain is directed to a single email address.

A web form can also be provided to collect specific information from your visitors and email it to any mailbox.

All Red Rocket sites have a SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) Certificate this protects user data and ensures the site is secure (https://).

Your website is backed up daily so that it can be restored quickly if something goes wrong.

Firewalls & anti-malware: Protect against hacking and malware attacks.

Red Rocket web forms are designed to protect against cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks.

We can produce and maintain high-quality content that is engaging, relevant aimed at attracting and keeping users.

We can create images, videos and graphics to make content more engaging.

Regular updates will keep your content fresh to attract repeat visitors and improve SEO.

Facebook's Open Graph

Your website can be designed to use Facebook's Open Graph (OG).

This means that when people share links to your web pages on facebook they contain images, links and information about your web site's pages.

This will also work on Blue Sky.

Twitter/X uses a different method that we can incorporate, if needed.

Strategic Approach

Using Facebook to promote your business can be very effective.

It is NOT a one-off "set up" that will work on its own.

Here’s some advice to get started and get results:

Set Up a Professional Facebook Page

Make sure your business has a Facebook Page (not a personal profile). Optimize it with: A clear profile photo (logo). A high-quality cover image. Accurate business info (hours, website, location). A compelling “About” section. A call-to-action button (Book Now, Shop Now, Message).

Post Consistently With Valuable Content

People engage with content that’s helpful, entertaining, or inspiring. Mix these types: Educational: tips, how-tos, industry insights. Behind-the-scenes: show your process, team, or workspace. Product/service posts: explain benefits, show results. Customer stories/testimonials. Video content: Facebook favors video in the algorithm. Short-form content: Reels perform extremely well. Tip: Aim for 3–5 posts per week.

Use Facebook Groups

Join groups where your target customers hang out. You can: Answer questions (without spamming). Share tips. Build authority. You can also create your own group around your niche.

Run Facebook Ads

Facebook Ads let you target exact audiences by:

Age. Interests. Behaviors. Location. Past interactions with your business.

Popular ad types: Boosted posts (simple but limited). Traffic ads (send people to your website). Lead ads (collect email/phone directly in Facebook). Engagement ads (build awareness). Conversion ads (for sales). Start small and test different audiences.

Use Messenger & Chat Automation

People love direct communication. You can:

Enable Messenger on your page. Set up auto-reply messages. Use Messenger ads to start conversations with potential customers.

Promote Events, Sales, or Offers

Facebook’s event and offer tools allow you to: Promote webinars, sales, grand openings. Add countdowns, coupons, or limited discounts. Encourage sharing among users.

Collaborate With Other Businesses or Influencers

Cross-promotions grow your audience fast: Partner with complementary businesses. Run giveaways. Have influencers post reviews or demonstrations.

Use Facebook Insights

Check what’s working: Which posts perform best. When your audience is online. What type of content gets the most engagement. Then double down on what works.

Red Rocket uses tools like Google Analytics to track visitors, their behavior, and conversion rates.

We can monitor site performance regularly to identify areas for improvement.

You may need a Privacy Policy to inform users how their data is collected and used, especially if you’re collecting personal information.

Also a Terms of Service that clearly state the rules users must agree to use your site.

GDPR compliance (if applicable): If targeting EU users, ensure you meet data protection standards.

Red Rocket never uses images that may be copyright.

Red Rocket will update software, plugins, and content. Ensuring your site runs smoothly as technology evolves.
