Many people have toyed with the idea of getting a website for their business, church or organization. Often people will decide against having a website, because they assume that having one is either too complicated or too expensive. Having a website is neither complicated or expensive. But why should you consider getting a website? How can a website help you?
Hardly any new business can achieve the recognition it deserves or compete with other similar businesses without a web presence. The time we are living in has often been referred to as “The Age Of Information”. Millions of people have access to anything they want to know with a simple stroke of a key or click of a mouse. With over a billion users globally and counting, the internet has forever changed the way that we communicate, shop and live our lives. The majority of the planet earth has internet access and uses it. The number of internet users is simply staggering and is growing rapidly. Many things that people used to spend hours doing can be achieved in seconds with a computer and from the comfort of their own living room.
Most studies suggest that many customers will search the internet for products and businesses before they even leave the house to buy. It is often the internet that decides where they will go once they have gotten into their car. Which means if you do not have a website, they wont be driving to your place of business. Given the ease and affordability of a website, why would anyone risk losing business so easily?
The average cost of hosting a site is ten dollars a month with many hosting companies offering even lower rates. Assuming you can find a quality web designer to build an attractive and functional website for a reasonable price, why would you choose not to have a website?
As a matter of fact, the general public has grown to expect businesses to have a website. It has become a common way for customers and potential customers to contact, ask questions and even buy products. If nothing else, having a website will help to create a more professional image for your business and will give your clients another way to communicate with you.
The benefits of having a website are many and the disadvantages are few. The potential for growth with a website is limitless.
