Why do I need a website?

Did you know that 71% of Internet users go online to research products and services for their local area rather than using a local directory, yellow pages or phone book? What are the reasons people prefer to look online?

• Convenience - They can learn about your services, view your portfolio and buy your products, even when you're closed!
   
• Availability of Information - A website provides more information than the yellow pages, with interactive content, product details and pictures.
   
• Lack of Sales Pressure - A website can offer the same consistent sales pitch without pressuring the visitor.

Advantages to Having a Website

Answering Questions - Save time and money answering the same question over and over by phone by providing information about your products and services online.

User Driven Enquiries - Website visitors can research your products and services without the pressure of dealing with pushy sales executives. You can respond to their enquiries when it is convenient for you.

Compete with Big Business - Smaller businesses can look bigger than they are with a professional website design. Small businesses can operate on the same playing field as the big ones!

Cost Effective Lead Source - The cost to develop, maintain and market a website are extremely low when compared to the cost of other forms of media and advertising.

Easy to Maintain - Your website can be updated daily, weekly, monthly or whenever you need to revise your information. The information on your website will always be accurate and up-to-date.

Extended Business Hours - With a website, your business is now "open" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. Your website is working for you!

Global Market - A website is accessible globally and can be viewed by anyone on the Internet. You can't get the same kind of market reach with print, radio and TV advertising.
