Website Template Support for the Small Business
providing a low cost, on-line presence that doesn't 'cost the earth'
Consider the following - earlier this year we considered advertising in our local newspaper with the aim of placing a classified ad for affordable web design. The process of placing the ad started by going to the paper's website. Having entered our business details we were prompted to add our own website address for inclusion in the ad. The cost of the advertisement for one column wide by three centimetres deep (about 1.5" square) was just over £20 for one entry for one week.
The point of this story is not the cost (it represented a fairly average price) - however:
the entire process had to be completed 'online' and
including our web site address in the adrtisement was actively encouraged.
It does seem that a website is now very much 'par for the course' for every size of business.
All the information your future customers need can be found on the internet. The internet is now on everyone's desk and can be found in just about every household. It is the customer who now chooses what they want to purchase, who they want to buy from and when they want to buy. And they do it using the internet. Web sites are here to stay, they are great at connecting people to business. Having details of your products or services online now makes absolute sense.
