Everyone has their own web page these days, it seems, from the big businesses to the family dog. A web site is your unique and permanent marketing piece in cyberspace. Many small businesses who could really benefit from a presence on the web don't have a site. Or perhaps they have a site but it was done with a web design template where the information is simply typed in and "viola'!" — a site is born! Often times while functional, these sites look unprofessional or a lot like many other sites that have used the same template.
"I've looked into having a web site done, but I just can't afford it." Depending on the nature of your business, you most likely can't afford NOT to have a web site. Whether you're technologically savvy or not, the web is a major factor in bringing in business. People use the internet as their seemingly unlimited informational resource, for even the simplist things, such as business hours, maps, etc... Even if you're a low-tech company, for customers to be able to access your company's information through a high-tech medium is beneficial no matter how you look at it! Below are some examples of businesses that may not feel they need a web site, and reasons why they should have one:
Restaurants
— A current menu, daily specials, and business hours with map
that can be accessed online could sway a customer in the direction of
your establishment.
Nightclubs
— Having an up-to-date band schedule or event listings online
are crucial, especially for live music venues.
Small
Retailers — Most large retailers have extensive sites, with
product listings and online ordrering, etc... for the smaller retailer,
a web presence is a wonderful way to showcase your product, and direct
people to your store.
Non-Profit
Organizations — Non-profits often work on a shoestring budget,
which is why the internet is perfect for them. Low-cost marketing with
unlimited visibility can only be beneficial.
