It’s understandably very difficult to feel productive about anything during a pandemic. Your world has been thrown upside down, daily activities have ground to a halt, and you’ve got to be vigilant about your health and the wellbeing of others around you.

But it’s not all doom and gloom. Many people are taking this time to reflect upon themselves, whether it be learning a new hobby or taking up a new sport and diet regime. Some people are also choosing to start a new digital venture, such as building a website.

There are many benefits to building a website during a time such as a pandemic. We’ve outlined just a few to prove why there’s no better time than now.

Online shopping is increasing exponentially

While we were already heavily internet-orientated as a society before the pandemic hit, that’s nothing compared to the levels of net-surfing now. Data shows that online shopping has increased for both big-chain and independent sellers, making now an ideal time for budding entrepreneurs to get some wares together and an e-commerce website up-and-running.

Hobby exploration is becoming more popular

If an e-commerce website isn’t what you had in mind, why not try creating a small brochure website to blog your latest hobby? With nothing to do, people all around the world are trying out new things and documenting them across a variety of platforms. Get ahead of the curve of other bloggers by creating your brochure website now, so when people search for insight and advice on the hobby you’re undertaking, your site is what they’ll find.
