Do I need a website?
So you have been wondering, do I need a website? All my competitors have a website, surely I need a web page too?
Well, most businesses will benefit from investment in a website, whether it is a simple one page advert with a contact form or an all singing, dancing, multi-featured online shop.
Why do you need a website?
So why do you need a website? Thinking about your reasons will help you plan your requirements. The simple question is: how will a website help you improve some aspect of your work and how will a website save or generate you and your business money? Here are just some reasons why you need a website.
You need a website to establish a 24/7 Presence
The Internet audience is huge with over 500 million people world-wide having access to the World Wide Web. Even if you just conduct business within your community, you want to let people in that community know that you are interested in serving them. The Internet can be an excellent way to promote your company or a product, but it needs to be used along with traditional ways of advertising.
You need a website to save on office space and sell online
Quite simply you need a website if you need to save costs. Websites lower office space requirements, you may be able to get a cheaper warehouse rather than posh, expensive offices, you may not need a warehouse at all and could just operate from home. A website means you dont necessarily need a shop front, you can sell all your products on the Internet, again saving leases on store fronts or helping you with a start up business with lower costs.
You need a website to have an online brochure and advertise ideas or hobbies
If you are a company then you can have a brochure with your products and services online 24/7. However this is also probably the biggest reason for setting up your own personal website. The Internet is an excellent way to do this and you can create a real community of people with the same ideas, hobbies, and beliefs as yourself.
You need a website to show off your knowledge, expertise and client testimonials
You need a website to inspire confidence in your business. If customers can read testimonials or articles which demonstrate your knowledge and expertise then they will have trust in the services and products that you offer.
You need a website to collect data about clients and potential clients
Having a membership section or a newsletter sign up will help you collect data and potential leads for future customers.
You need a website to network
Having a website helps you connect with potential customers. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. A website is a 24 hour business card which can contain far more information for potential customers than any traditional business card ever will.
You need a website to make loads of money
If you think you need a website to make lost of money then think twice. The only other types of company making money through the Internet are small companies with low overheads offering unusual products or services that cannot be found locally. This still requires a lot of hard work, the right type of promotion, and lots of luck. Most companies don’t make money just from their website, the website is simply there to advertise and create leads to future sales.
You need a website to provide quick 24/hour customer service and support
If you need a customer service dept or a support department for your business then you need a website to offer quick access to these services online. Having online Customers Services and Support can be a very good idea for any company that finds that they have phone calls from customers asking them about how to use a product or service.
You need a website to keep customers informed
A website can be an excellent way to keep your customers or share holders informed about the company. Tell them about new products, new services or company developments, quickly and easily.
