There’s a misconception out there professional websites cost a small fortune- but they don’t need to. We look at creating designs around any budget. Take a look at our top five reasons why your company needs a professional website, no matter what size your business is.
1. KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS INFORMED
Even if your business is a bricks and mortar, you still need to keep your customers up to date with your latest offerings. This includes price changes, specials, new features, and an SEO-friendly blog to keep your business front and centre on the first page of Google (that’s a goal to work towards, anyway).
2. YOUR BUSINESS WILL GAIN CREDIBILITY
Customers tend to search Google as the first place to look for services or goods they need. If you have a website, you’ll start to develop trust and credibility to your potential customer. Research suggests it takes 10 views for a customer to buy, so a website means they can keep coming back to your business.
Without a website, those potential customers will go to your competitors that do. If you have a thrown-together “home-made” site, having it professionally redesigned with a professional makeover will inspire even greater confidence. For home-based businesses, this is very beneficial since you do not have a store front to promote your products or services.
3. REACH A WIDER AUDIENCE
A shotty website doesn’t give a great first impression about your brand. And having a professional website doesn’t need to cost a fortune. Our prices start at $450 for a 5-page custom web design. Your ideas = our creation. A cost-effective way to reach your ideal customer is through a higher Google ranking and SEO-friendly copy on your website. If your head is already starting to spin, talk to one of our friendly team about DIY SEO. The higher up in Google your website sits, the more your business will be found by your ideal customer.
4. IT PROVIDES A MEDIUM ON WHICH TO SHOWCASE YOUR WORK
Regardless of your target market, a website is a great spot to showcase your work. By including a portfolio or image gallery, as well as testimonials about your work, you can demonstrate what makes your business unique and why consumers should buy from you.
5. A WEBSITE SAVES YOU TIME
Providing information to your customers takes time, whether it’s on the phone, face-to-face, in a brochure, or in emails. With a professionally-designed website, you can provide lots of information about your products and services. Once your website is up and running, it’s available to your customers indefinitely, saving you time, and as we all know it, time is money!
