Why do you need a website?

By the fact that you’re looking at this post, (Or even website) I can take a pretty good guess that you don’t have a website or are looking to have your website re-done. I’ve written this post to help you understand why (95% of businesses) need a website.

• You’re always open

  A website never turns off enabling customers to access your business 24/7/365. Accessibility is extremely desirable – and making money / dealing with customers while you sleep can never be bad!

• You become more credible

  By simply having a website you give the impression that you’re professional in what you do.

• Compete with a larger market

  Recent figures show that 1.7 Billion people are now online across the globe. Why wouldn’t you want to get a piece of that action?

• Connect with your customers

  The web allows you to connect with customers in ways that we’re previously unimaginable. With the social-web now upon us, you can get enormous amounts of feedback from customers and free promotion (often without them knowing it!)

• Cost effective advertising

  While websites can sometimes be a little costly to set up – the majority really aren’t and once paid for that’s it (minus server /domain costs). You wont have to repeat that cost each month or year (unlike a business directory listing) and mid-to-long term they are incredibly cost-effective.

• Save time keeping your customers up-to-date.

  Updating your website can take a matter of minutes. Compare this to ringing up all your customers or creating and sending out a brochure.
