You only have to think about the good and bad websites that you have come across, and whether or not they enticed you into doing business with that company.

Any small business should have a website, what the business owner should think about however is what is its purpose.

Is the website there to take orders and payments from customers or do you want the website to act as an online advert?

To be able to achieve the required results this information must be passed on to the the web designer, he/she will then be able to design the website accordingly.

Ever so often small businesses will buy a website without imparting this information, they will then be disappointed with the results. Unfortunately there are also lots of webdesign companies out there that are willing to just take the money and not come up with the goods. How many times have you as a business owner been cold called by someone trying to sell you something that you didn’t really want, or when you get it, it does not live up to expectations.

A good website is clear and up to date, it tells your customers what they need to know, guides them quickly and easily through the product range, makes it safe and secure for them to submit any payment, and provides contact details for questions and queries.

Doing business via the Internet is very much about building confidence and trust, your site should inspire both.

If done well, a website can provide a significant boost to sales. It can enlarge your potential market while keeping overheads down.

If used to its full potential, it is a perfect way to build networks and relationships with your customers.

You need to think about how your customers are going to find your website, will it bee by seeing your website address on your stationary, from your adverts, from the signs on your vehicles or from the search engines online?

Either way, the most important thing from a good website is to keep it alive and updated, constantly adding to the content. This is brings more interest from the search engines, and helps build that confidence that you want to inspire in your customers.

But then I would say that, I am in business to create websites. Well actually I wholeheartidly believe that it is essential for any sole trader to have a company website.
You may not intend it as an advertising platform, but don’t underestimate the amount of people using the Internet these days.

Imagine this, the potential customer has looked in the local paper, and has come across 2 adverts, now most trade adverts are similar, so nothing there to convince them to pick you, oh hang on, your advert has a website address, and your e-mail address is a proper one not a yahoo account.

The potential customer, turns the computer on and hey presto they have a professionally designed website in front of them, they click on a page, they can see pictures of previous work, they can see recommendations. They can even see what trade organisations you belong to. This all builds confidence and helps them decide who to ring.

Do you still wonder if you need website ?

If you would like more information, or would like to chat about the options, please contact me;
