Some of us are guilty in taking our website for granted. Now’s a good time to remind ourselves why our investment in a website is so important.
1) Start ups: You can start a new business online with just a website, you don’t need staff, premises, or even a product. Just an idea, and with a low cost investment in a website – you’re up and running.
2) Your investors/The bank: If you’re looking for finance, from friends, family, investors, or the bank, better make sure you have a good website, to showcase your business.
3) Your customers: Pretty well 90% of your potential customers have contacted a company or bought online from a website in the last 12 months. No website? They’ll soon find your competitors’.
4) Your brochure: Your website is, in effect, your online brochure. Even better than in print, you can update the information contained instantly – all your content, price lists, opening hours, etc can be constantly updated.
5) Show off your achievements: Your website provides the opportunity to demonstrate what you do, and how well you do it.
6) Open for business 24/7: Your website is always open for business, and enables you to communicate to your customers with your marketing messages, special offers, new products, events, promotions, etc.
7) Gives you a voice: your website gives you the opportunity to say and do exactly what you want – you can break the mould, do your own thing, disrupt an existing market.
8) Beat big businesses: Having a well designed website with a solid strategy behind it means you really can compete with larger businesses, without all the massive overheads they have to suffer.
9) Credibility: No business large or small has any credibility at all if they do not have a well designed, easy to navigate website.
