Everyone needs a website, right?
It’s 2018, of course.
But why?
Here are a few reasons why your business needs a website. But first a quick fact:

Advertising
When done correctly, a website is one of the best forms of advertising in terms of return on investment (ROI).
For, normally, a one off fee with just hosting & maintenance to pay for monthly/yearly, a website can generate leads or directly sell your products/services depending on what type of website you have or will have.
Also, for most businesses, a website acts as shop front. A place where customers can see who you are, what you offer and how they can benefit from your services/products.
We’ve dedicated a whole article as to why your website is an investment rather than a cost which you can find here.
Selling products
Touched upon briefly above, but joining the world wide web opens you up to a huge potential audience that you can sell your products directly to.
E-commerce stores (online shops) are common place these days. People are happy to shop and do business online. Why not join them?*
Nearly everyone in the world uses the internet. And nearly everyone just ‘Googles it’
If you’re not on the web (and found on Google), you’re missing out on the hundred, if not, thousands of potential customers who are searching for your services/products in your area every month.
They’re likely going to your competitors instead. Now, you wouldn’t want that, would you?
The good news is, we can help!
*An e-commerce website isn’t for every business. Just because you sell products doesn’t mean you need one. It’s best speaking to your web designer before making any changes. We’re on hand if you’d like to chat!
