For 2012, make sure your site’s the best it can be

Now that 2012 is here, you’ve probably made a few New Year’s resolutions—some of which you might keep, and some of which… well, let’s just say we think we’ll be hearing those again in 2013.

But if there’s one resolution you should make—and keep—this year, it’s to make sure your website’s the best it can be for 2012 and beyond. The good news is, Yola makes this one promise that’s super-simple to keep!

Our website building tool lets you build and update your site all in moments—no web developer or designers necessary. Just hit the “Publish to the web” button, choose your domain, and you’re off to the races. And with the 20 new style templates we’ve added over the past year, you might even just want to refresh your look for the New Year.

2012 is definitely the year to start driving more customers to your site. Google AdWords (you get a $50 credit with Yola Bronze and a $75 credit with Yola Silver), simple SEO (search engine optimization) strategies, and email newsletters are all great ways to help more people find your site and your business. Check out this Mashable article for other great ideas on driving more sales from your site.

Be sure to take advantage of our other recent tools, like integrating your blog with Yola using Tumblr, adding social media like Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ to your site through our Social Share Me widget, and even making your logo more unique by uploading your own font through our site.

As always, we’re here to make sure your site is a straight-up success. Our Yola Bronze package (just $4.95 a month) will get you online and looking professional and our Yola Silver package (just $9.95 a month) will help you stand out from the competition. And don’t forget that you can get your own custom domain from us for only $11.95 a year.

From all of us at Yola: here’s to a wildly successful 2012!
