All businesses must have a webisite these days. I am not saying this because I am a web designer. The following reasons are compelling
- Your website is an online brochure. (24/7)
- People can check out your services/products before contacting you
- A great marketing and advertising tool
- Lends credibility to your business.
- Use it to send out newsletters, keep in touch with customers
- Send Google traffic to your site
- Ask for feedback from visitors (you can tweak your services & products )
- Have competitions with prizes to engage your target market
- Everyone these days checks out your business online before buying
- So you want a website or want to revamp your old website
- Easy to update
- Start a blog and engage your market
- Cost effective. (once set up no more going back to web developer)
- Insert video or audio easily
- Upload images easily
- Ping your blog posts to many news aggregators. (broadcast facility)
- Very Search Engine Friendly
- Google places a lot of importance on blogs
- Get a good rank for your blog and increase traffic
- Expand your website by adding pages
- Have an RSS feed for your target market. (Like a newsletter of your blog posts)
- Use the website to share the information and add to social networking sites
