Top 7 Reasons Why Your Business Needs a Website
A website provides invaluable advantages for businesses who have one. 7 reasons why your business needs a website are: 1. Convenience for customers Using the Internet to search for businesses and products is much easier and faster than scouring through the Yellow Pages. 2. Provides greater exposure Your website will be visible EVERYWHERE. You will no longer be tied to the limited geographic exposure of phone book entries. Also, more and more consumers are using the Internet to find businesses and the products/services they need - people can't purchase your product or service from you if they don't know you exist. 3. Say so much more You can say so much more on a website than you could in any print advertisement, Yellow Pages entry, or TV/radio advertisement. There are no space restrictions or time restrictions on a website, so you can say as much as you want. 4. Inexpensive, effective advertising Your customers will have a better knowledge of your products or services, as they are able to research your products or services in their own time, instead of having to rely on a furiously paced TV or radio ad to gather the information they need. 5. Saves money You can save money on printing and postage costs for brochures, coupons, flyers, specials, newsletters, and other mailings. 6. Always available Your website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you are unable to answer the phone, you can be sure that your website is available to answer your customers' questions for you. 7. Saves time The time that you would have spent on the phone answering customers' questions can now be used to invest in growing your business.

Now that I've made that statement, I'm sure someone will point out one. My point is, however, that having a web presence today is about as cheap as anything going and if you ever get one client or sale from the web you are way ahead. 17 Tips to Plan a Website Everyone wants one. 9 Keys to an Effective Website Many small companies choose not to invest in a professionally designed website, although a well-designed Web site may raise the company's level of professionalism and exposure ? AND drive business and sales! Top 10 Webmaster Challenges Webmasters deal with a myriad of complex design challenges every day. This article will discuss the top ten challenges and provide solutions and tips for solving each problem. How To Convert More Sales On Your Website One of the biggest mistakes that most online retailers make is they do not take into account typical buyer behaviour. The conversion from real world to online provides many benefits to the retailer, but present some real challenges for the customer because their buying decision is made more difficult in an online environment. Cost Effective and Powerful Dynamic Websites w. Fantastico Web Hosting If you are developing your website on a host that charges less that $5 a month, make plenty of backups as you are likely to loose your website files when the webhost goes out of business without notice. Indeed, be extremely wary of any such host. Once your website is attracting getting visitors, get your website hosted with host that does not foolishly try to over sell his server resources. And, expect to pay at least $15 a month or more for the added security and reliability of such a host. Content Management ? The New Standard in Web Design The evolution of web development parallels the model of technology spending by companies today.

Beware the Software Siren I've heard several prominent web marketers mention in their classes and public forums how easy it is to create your own software. Why, all you have to do is run over to Elance.com or RentACoder.com and have some poor shmoe from Outer Slobvia whip out what you want.

You have to contact employers one by one, spend your time traveling and lugging your portfolio to their offices. Well, things have changed, and for the better let me tell you. Now you can make your own on-line portfolio on the Internet, and send its web page address to numerous design companies at once so they can all see your work easily. You don't even have to leave your house and organizations all over the world can access your work easily. You Cant Just Build A Website And Hope It Works! Like any area of business your website needs some effort from you if its going to be successful. You'd be foolish to just build any old website and hope it works. Yet this approach, or rather lack of approach, is still widespread on the internet. Businesses still dont seem to understand what the internet can do to benefit them and their customers. They just dont get it. Make Your Own Brand! There are millions and millions of websites on the Internet. You NEED to be different in some way from all of them! If you could get a visitor to your website, that means nothing. Only returning visitors must be counted. When they return the second time, "branding" starts to occur. Huge companies advertise not because they want to provide you with information about their product. They do that because they're trying to "brand" its name and image. Actually, it is the brand you are paying the money for when you buy something from "Adidas", "Nike" or "Coca-cola". People will actually be willing to pay for the brand they know, so make it as bright and memorable as possible. However, it is useful to remember that too complex logo will definitely slip out of peoples' minds. Improve Web Sales Figures Forever And Ever Amen! "How do I improve web site sales figures?"
