We put together the 5 top reasons why your business needs a website.
Ever wondered why your business would even need a website? The answer is simple – you’re losing out on opportunities. But is this all a business can offer? The answer again is simple – no. We have put together 6 reasons why your business needs a website.
Cost-Effective
Your website may look like it is quite an expensive thing to begin with, especially if you ask someone else to design and build one for you, but the overall cost is low.
One of the best things is that you know exactly how much it costs, and there is not much which can change that – a high street store or office on the other hand is susceptible to charges not budgeted for – theft, damage, etc. The initial costing that you would need to think of is your domain and hosting, which can be as little as £1 per month.
A strategically developed website and online presence solution provides tremendous benefits and costing outlines.
Accessible around the clock
Your clients and customers can access your business 24/7. Imagine that! If you own a store, you really should be thinking about getting yourself an e-commerce site, you could be getting orders throughout the whole day – even when your store shuts!
Convenient
Would you rather travel to a store, or have the ease of buying this online – the answer is simple. Websites are convenient for both the customer and the business owner. You could offer things such as a live chat option, which allows customers to message you directly – saving time and money. This allows you to reach further in terms of customers and locations you can offer your services/ products.
Credibility
With everyone being online nowadays, businesses who don’t have a website have started to be branded as ‘not credible’ tech-savvy clients who are put off by a business that just has social media, or doesn’t have any information on the internet at all! Can you afford to be losing new customers that could be saved with a website? we didn’t think so. This is why your business needs a website.
Marketing
Having a website is a great way to spread the message about your business to people you would never normally meet. You can then also create a marketing campaign that promotes your site so that more visitors, more leads, and of course, more sales.
