Let's face it – the Internet Age is in full swing, and not showing any decline anytime in the near future. However, many people have yet to adopt the methodologies of this trend with their business, band, entrepreneurship, or other endeavor. In fact, quite a few small business owners do not even have a website for their company. Many people would like to have a website, but they believe the cost of developing a website, maintaining that website, and purchasing a domain name would be out of their budget or too difficult for them to do themselves. If you find yourself in this boat, it’s incredibly important that you jump ship. We’d be happy to help!
Why do you need a website?
The most important reason for a website is to be found by potential clients, contacts, or customers that are searching for you on the web. I don’t know the exact figures of the average advertising spending of small, local companies, but I’m sure most of their advertising budget is used for ads in local yellow pages, and these can be expensive. Interestingly enough, only about 50% of the local companies represented in the yellow pages currently even have a website. What do you think will happen as fewer and fewer people use the printed Yellow Pages in favor of local web search? Do you think these small local companies will continue to pay as much for their Yellow Page ads since fewer and fewer people will be using them? Where do you think their advertising dollars will go? They will go to the place where people are searching…the search engines… the Internet.
A Website is not just a fad, as it may have been thought in the past. Your Website can be as important as your telephone connection, or even your actual business location. Today, whenever people have to make a purchase, hire a Service Provider, or even find directions or contact a business, they instinctively log onto the Internet and search the Internet for the Website of the business. They simply assume that every business these days has a Website, and businesses that don’t, don’t mean business.
The simple point of the matter is this, whether you are a small business owner, inventor, entrepreneur, artist, author, musician or band, you need a website. In the world we live in, increasingly numbers of people are turning to the Internet to find information, and if you don’t have a presence on the Internet you will not only be making it more difficult for people to find you, but you are turning away thousands of potential clients, fans, or customers each week.
