Small Business Web Design and Maintenance
If you have a business, you need a website.
In today's virtually connected world and the push for consumers to shop locally and support community based small businesses, a website is critical for many entrepreneurs and small businesses to grow. It is just good business sense to have an online presence in today's tech savvy society.
Your website is your online welcome mat to potential customers. Without a website, you forfeit much and can possibly lose customers who want to learn about your business and what you have to offer.
Some important reasons to have a website:
As we mentioned before, this is a way of welcoming customers, introducing your company and telling people what they can find at your company. This can be a great introductory tool for you and provide information to customers who are looking for the types of products and services you offer. After reading several articles from various sources, we've put together a brief list of the most important reasons to have a website, here they are:
-
A website is your virtual front door, welcoming customers in to have a look around and learn about your business. Most importantly it helps you to get found. If customers can't find you, they will find your competition.
-
Information on your website lets people know if you have what they are looking for. The information you provide helps them to determine if you are a good fit.
-
Having a website helps you to get found on web searches, provides a platform for customers to leave reviews and lets you provide information about operating hours, how to contact you, and you can also advertise any special products or sales.
-
A well put together website increases your credibility and proves that your business exists.
-
Having a website allows you to compete in the marketplace, expanding your location, not only locally but nationally possibly even globally.
-
A website can function as a digital brochure, providing a platform to inform people about who you are, what you offer and what makes your business unique or different.
-
A well constructed and optimized website is a great and inexpensive form of advertisement. If done well, you will be found in local searches leading customers to your "virtual door".
-
Social media usage is tapering off. Yes it is true, and hard to believe. According to various online sources, research is showing that overall younger Americans use of social media is falling off and declining compared to previous years. Older Americans are turning away from social media as the controversy over censorship is silencing voices daily.
-
In the middle of a pandemic, your site may be the only way for potential customers to find you and to do business with you. Don't get left behind or overlooked. Get your site up or updated to stay relevant.
-
Getting up and running on the internet is not the intimidating and lengthy process it once was. With the help of an experienced designer, in most cases you can have a couple of pages completed and published within a few days.
It isn't enough just to have a website, you need to have a modern, professional and responsive site (optimized for use on mobile devices) or you will not be considered "up to date" or user friendly. You've got a very short window of opportunity to get a customers' attention. Are you prepared for that? If not, we'd be more than happy to assist you with getting your site up and running and up to date.
