I’ve been emailed about some ideas that I give my clients when I consult, since I teach not only how to blog but how to create a blog/website for your business for less. I was asked what are some tips that I give my clients.

I am working with one client, he has a multi-business website needing to be set up, under one roof. This may prove difficult for some but I think its actually an interesting concept.
There are many ways you as a business owner can tackle this. You can have an entry way where it shows the multiple enter clicks for each different business which causes multiple layouts for one site, or you can pick a neutral site and have it branch off like wordpress does with different categories.

For a business you need a backbone name. For example if you run a business for computer work, home repairs, and knitting where they are very different from each other try to stick with a forename that will fit. Amanda’s computers Amanda’s house repairs and Amanda’s knitting techniques. Those names are silly but you get my drift.

From there you could get Amandacertified.com, getamanda.com, workwithamanda.com for example. You goto the site and you’ll see 3 pictures one of a computer one, of a house and one, of ball of yarn and needles. You click which one you’d like to visit. Which will bring you to 3 separate subdomains off of the main domain offering 3 different layouts.

Or you have a basic layout thats neutral for all of them. I suggest of course buying a template theme pre-made instead of customizing them to reduce cost, you’re less likely to see them twice since the web is that huge however it does happen. I of course suggest my website TemplateScene.com but there are others you can use.

I would suggest giving that entry option 3 separate layouts. Since your entrance page will be simple.

If you’re choosing to build one large site and having all the techniques on it this proves to be a little difficult. Choose a theme such as

It is also always good to think outside of the box with layouts. Take something thats not meant to be for the site and turn it into it. If you’re a female and you’re offering a variety of things you can take for example this layout for a dental site, spruce it up and turn it into something for your website
Or

Change the set up around a bit, or have someone do that for you and you can create a unique site geared towards multiple business ventures.
