Why do I need a website?

I found this great article today on the benefits of a website and how it can help with specific industries such as restaurants, professional services, retail and trade.

According to the article, a website can help you:

“maintain a corporate presence and make yourself accessible to your clients.  Unlike a bricks & mortar shop, a website can have it’s doors open 24/7.  Unlike a brochure or magazine advertisement, a website can be relied on for the most up-to-date information.”

A website can:

• create a corporate presence – if you are a large company clients would expect to be able to find out about you online

• sell products directly to the public

• generate and qualify leads

• gather feedback to help you improve your product or service

• compete with big business

• extend your trading hours

• expand your market

• save time by answering common questions online
