Zoho Sites Implementation Support and Guidance

Give Your Business The Online Visibility Leverage Using Zoho Sites

In 2022, the expectations that are associated with having a website have totally changed from what they used to be many years ago. More than an item to check off a list, websites are now evolving into what they ought to be — an extension of a brand. As always, these new expectations are framed around the customer and they dictate many factors that decide whether your website gets a thumbs up or a thumbs down. Interestingly, as trivial as these sound, they impact your business in so many ways.

 
For instance, 90% of web users admit they will dump a website immediately if it has a bad web design. Now, imagine the variety of potential customers that can be found in that percentage. In there also lie not just customers but potential brand advocates that have been lost due to what might be considered too trivial.

In light of the above scenario, the pressure has become higher for businesses to walk the talk with their website. Your web visitors, prospects, and customers expect you to deliver a stellar user experience via your website and apps. Even search engine platforms and social media platforms — through which you would champion your inbound paid and organic efforts — have core web vitals which they base their rating of your website on.

Thankfully, no-code website-building platforms now afford business owners the chance to create better and user-friendly websites. However, there are certain drawbacks seen in some no-code website-building platforms that tend to even out the benefits. Some of them include issues revolving around security, flexibility, and accessibility. Fortunately enough, Zoho Sites has put all of these into consideration in building its software to deliver a wholesome experience when it comes to building websites.

Whether your brick-and-mortar business is only just considering owning a website, or you’re thinking of migrating your current website to a better, more standard, and user-friendly website, this page will guide you through reasons why you should pick Zoho Sites as your choice.

What is Zoho Sites?

Zoho Sites is an all-in-one website builder that caters to web builders of every level of expertise. Whether you’re a pro, an intermediate, or a beginner, Zoho Sites is your gateway to getting your business an online presence with ease, as it combines advanced elements and features to give you just what you need. Unlike other platforms, it doesn’t come with constraints and it doesn’t require a high level of technical knowledge to utilize. Zoho Sites is especially perfect for bootstrapped and small businesses because of its affordable pricing.

Features and Functions of Zoho Sites

As said earlier, Zoho Sites gives businesses and organizations the ability to register their online presence and leverage this for visibility that would in turn positively impact revenue. The question is, how does Zoho Sites achieve this? The answer to that are the fantastic features that Zoho Sites has.

Seamless Website Creation Functionalities

The beauty of the Zoho Sites platform is the way it empowers people to take control of workflow implementation, thereby reducing the overreliance on stressful and time-consuming technical processes. Zoho Sites ensures that the process of website creation is seamless and maintains a high level of functionality through a range of functionalities.

 
For starters, the drag-and-drop model enables you to simply reach and select the preferred elements you want on your website, opening you to a faster and more effective way of building sites. With this option, you can begin to put your site together brick by brick and move things around as much as you’d want till you hit the spot of satisfaction.

 
If the idea of building your site from scratch is daunting or you run into a creative brick mid-way, you can choose from Zoho Sites’ range of templates specially created for different categories of businesses. These templates offer you robust resources to start building, and wIth over 150 layouts 25 design shapers in addition to dynamic background, you are sure to cruise through the creation process.

Personalization and Customization Functionalities

The Achilles’ heel of several no-code platforms is their rigidity, which makes most of their elements and design features set in stone and rather frustrating to modify. This makes it difficult to deploy them for real use and sometimes, it’ll take coding from scratch to use them. Coding from scratch means you’re either a programmer or need to hire a programmer — which can be expensive and also betrays the point of using a no-code platform in the first instance.


However, the rigidity and frustrations of the typical no-code website-building platform are far removed from Zoho Sites, as it allows you to edit and modify the elements of the website built without breaking a sweat. You can edit the HTML and CSS codes of your webpages, which means you can break down and adjust the structure and even the coding elements.

 
In addition to that, you can also customize the domain name to reflect the ideals of your brand as much as you would want it. Another cool thing about Zoho Sites is the number of mechanisms that are in place to support you as you go about actualizing your dreams about what your website should look like.

 
You can experiment with different designs without the fear of losing your content as your content is autosaved and you can always revisit the history of your website design. This is the kind of flexibility that makes website building truly fun.


Thanks to the Zoho Sites page versions feature, all the edited and saved versions of your website are kept and you can recall any of them if you would rather continue working on it.

Advanced Audio and Video Features

You can lose a lot when your website fails to snatch the attention of your visitors at the very instant they land on any of your pages. This is the cause of the painfully high bounce and churn rates. You are pumping resources into your organic traffic generation efforts and although all that is paying off, you have little to write home about in the sense of successfully generated leads.

Good content that is not presented on a platter of visual aesthetics is simply insufficient at this age where internet users are increasingly becoming more visual-oriented and all marketing trends are tending toward videos.

When you build your website with Zoho Sites, it comes with the ability to incorporate many features that your audience is sure to find appealing. Through the integrated audio player, you can add audio files to needed pages on your website. You can also embed your videos from Vimeo, YouTube, or any other platform. As a SaaS startup, do you know your homepage will likely perform better when you have a video of how to use your platform in the above-the-fold section? Think Zoho Sites today, and embedding your video would become easier for you.

You can also incorporate some dynamics in the website by throwing some animations to bring the elements on your website to life. Other creative options that you can also explore include a lightbox and photosets. These will leave a lasting positive impression on the minds of your visitors and ensure they stay on your website long enough to consume the content you have added

Team Collaboration

The internet has undergone a couple of reiterations since its inception. It started from static single-page displays with only essential information about the brand displayed that can be accessed by anyone that has a browser. This period is largely considered as Web 1. The evolution of Web 2 came with a lot of advancements that allow website owners to customize the experiences of their website visitors. These add an extra layer of meaning and purpose to the mix as the relationship between visitors and owners evolves into one that is centered on community building.

Zoho Sites helps you capitalize on this element of community building by giving you the ability to define the kind of access internet users can have to your website. You can implement all sorts of features such as a oyalty program that involves members-only exclusive offers, using Zoho Sites.

In addition, you can also invite team mates to collaborate with you on the website design process to make it faster and better. You can add them as contributors, with varying levels of access (Admin, Author, Developer, or Guest). This will help you in coordinating the events that occur on your website.

Interactive Website Functionalities for Community Building

As mentioned earlier, we’ve gone past the age when websites exist for the sole purpose of serving as digital billboards. Websites are now a communication medium between businesses and their prospects. A good website is one that can communicate your business’ value proposition to your target audience and convince them to become clients, without you necessarily being available to attend to such a prospect.

To effectively do this, you need interactive features on your website such as a blog to drive in organic inbound traffic and talk about product updates and use cases, forms for lead generation, and comment boxes to foster interactions on your blog posts. All these are available to Zoho Sites users.

Zoho Sites takes it one step further by giving you access to a wide range of integrations, be it with other Zoho products or external products.

Top-grade Security Features

While a lot of focus is usually given to content when it comes to website building, another part that is not talked about often but still commands influence is security. Since at some point you’re bound to collect the data of your visitors, it’s very important to put mechanisms in place to ensure the protection of the privacy of your visitors. To demonstrate how serious this issue is, there are government policies that regulate the use of collected website data.

Understanding the importance of data and privacy, Zoho Sites has gone to the extra length of guaranteeing you and your visitors are protected from data breaches. One of the ways it does this is by providing you with SSL certification for every website created. In addition to protection from malicious elements on the internet, this is also a huge factor in search engine optimization.

This website builder also ensures that your site is GDPR-compliant, which means you wouldn’t have to worry about having conflicts with regulations that have been instituted to protect the citizens in the European Union. Zoho Sites will offer you frameworks that ensure the management of their data in line with government regulations.

In cases where you need to migrate from another site building platform, Zoho Sites’ protection covers you as well as the downloaded data is password-protected. This way, only those that are trusted personnel can have access to these sensitive data.

Building your website with Zoho Sites also means you get to use an unmetered bandwith and extensive storage space to upload pictures, videos, and other creatives for your website design.

Do SEO As You Build

Search engines are the gigantic portal to the world of the internet and we have grown so reliant on them that only those that have satisfied their finicky requirements get a pass. This is the basis of the apparently elusive SEO that gives website owners sleepless nights. One thing that a lot of people don’t realize is that aside from on-page SEO, there are also technical sides to the whole formula. If you build your website using Zoho Sites, you get to do your site’s SEO setup as you build, meaning that at the end of it all, you’d have a website that’s positioned to rank for the right keywords. This SEO setup feature also comes with recommendations and other built-in SEO tools.

 
You can also easily generate your sitemap using Zoho Sites, which will come in handy for your Google Search Cosnsole setup.

Built-in Content Distribution Features

Social media still remains an underutilized platform for a lot of businesses as they find it difficult to maintain their presence on the different platforms or struggle to be consistent with their posts. Most times, this is due to having to use another round of creative energy to produce content for socials but what if you don’t have to?

With Zoho Sites, it’s possible to make your audience aware of your posted content not when they eventually come across it on social media, but when you want them to see it. With the connection secured to your social media accounts, you can post directly to social media from your website using dedicated buttons. You don’t even have to wait for the perfect time to post as scheduling will make things easier for you or your social media manager.

The fun also extends to your web visitors as they can share whatever useful information they come across on your website using Zoho Sites’ in-built social sharing feature. This will help you reach a wider audience organically and grow your readership base.
