Before deciding on which route to take with your website, you need to discover what information you wish to provide. Some of the following questions may help:
- Do you offer a service or sell products (or maybe both)? If you offer a service, the information you provide may not change that often, in which case little work is needed once the site is set up and running. However, if you sell products, stock and prices may change, and your pages will need to be updated from time to time.
- How are your computer skills? If you have never created a webpage before, you need to consider whether to choose a site that requires no changes (or limited skills), obtain some training, or have someone help you when amendments are required.
- Do you already have a website? If you already have a site (and the skills to run it), but lack the time to give it the attention it needs, you might want to consider hiring help on an "as needed" basis. Why have a full-time employee when you can call on someone when something needs to be done? This service can be provided on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, or as a one off.
- Do you offer products that can be sent overseas? One of the incredible things about the internet is the size of the potential market. Even though you may only be interested in local business, your site can be seen all over the world. Obviously, if you can supply goods on a much wider scale, we can help you to reach this huge market.
- Are you interested in new ways to increase your revenue? We can offer you a way to provide more products and services on your site, which requires no stock or investment! You can also build up your own sales team that you only pay when they produce sales. Check the Affiliate Marketing link for more details.
- What type of website do I need? This depends very much on what sort of business you have and the traffic (visitors) you will receive. If you are simply promoting a local shop or service (no internet sales), you can probably do that with a very basic site and hardly any maintenace. However, if you are providing a larger volume of information and need to take orders via the internet, you will need something better. Once we have received your details, we can then offer you our suggestions (free and without obligation), which will be based on your business needs and computer/internet skills.
