The first thing to consider, when bulding a new website is what your WordPress theme should be. The design and layout has to reflect your website purpose whether it's an personal blog, news media or for business.

Nyhedspatruljen is the latest website I built, which is an online news magazine in Denmark. The content of the website will range from interesting news to reviews and guides within all kinds of topics.

Creating good content

To build a succesful website you need to have valuable content, that is interesting for visitors to read, browse or shop.
Nyhedspatruljen is driven by two freelance journalists, who are passionate about writing great articles within their field.
They are a great match, since they have different interests varying from technology to e-commerce, shopping, travelling or life style changes. This means that they can create interesting and valuable contents within any topic, which is key to run a succesful online news magazine.

Build trust and a story line

People love to relate themselves with people and business, and therefore it's a no brainer to build an "about us" or "the story behind" page on your website.
Answer basic questions like these:
- Who are you?
- What are you passionate about?
- What is the purpose of your site?
- How to contact you?

Driving traffic

If you want to have succes you need to drive traffic from Google, Social Media or other channels. Make sure your personal blog or company have social media profiles, where they can post their content for their audience.

Make sure your content is good, and you will also get traffic from Google and other Search Engines, because they favor great content, that provide value to their searches.
