Why should you invest in a web site?

A web site is an important part of a company's profile, today more than ever. With more and more homes and businesses adopting broadband the Internet is recognised as one of the most cost effective forms of advertising and selling available and if your competitors get there first, then you could be missing out on potentially valuable custom.

A web site will help you attract more customers and, ultimately, more sales. Additionally, a well designed professional web site will help you capture the right customers i.e. the ones who want your service. Having a web site is like having a salesperson who never sleeps and is always there to provide information to your customers when they want it.

Choosing a developer

Your web site will likely be the first thing that a new customer will see of your company and, as such, should create the best first impression possible. This means that it should appear as swiftly as possible, it should be clear and concise in it's presentation and should be easy to navigate. Anything less will quickly put off many visitors and potential customers which will be bad news for you, good news for your competitors.

Many a time has it been said that someone's brother/son/sister/dog can create a web site. While this may be true, it's also true that in 99% of cases said web site "creator" uses off-the-shelf WYSIWYG software that does most of the work behind the scenes, badly and inefficiently. Such web sites may look fantastic on the PC it was created on, it may even look good on your PC because you use the same web browser as the creator. But, look at that web site from your customers' PC and it may be a completely different story if they're not using the "default" web browser, a common situation as more people move away from the Microsoft^TM offerings.
