Owning a web site has become an essential part of any business or commercial venture.
A company that has no web presence is running the risk of losing out on many opportunities
including the chance or reaching customers throughout the country and even the world.
Having a web site allows your company to share basic information about its products
or services.
1. Business Web Site: The primary function of a business web site is to clearly
display information about your company, its services and products and how visitors
can contact you. Generally, business web sites can perform important market research
for your business, increases your image, increases inquiries and increases the level
of customer service that you offer.
2. Storefront Web Site: These web sites are commonly known as E-Commerce or Merchant
Stores which focus on selling services and products online. This type of web site
may sell products generated by your company, however, they can also function as
auction houses that sell wares produced by others.
3. Educational Web Sites: Educational web sites are dedicated to a particular interest
and provides information in various forms to its readers.
Electronic commerce (e-commerce) is about meeting the needs of the diverse customer
base worldwide and doing it quickly. Simplicity, ease of use and clear navigation
are powerful web desing tools that enhance the customer’s experience and increase
your company’s bottom line. A web site must make information easily accessible.
That is its core responsibility. Anything that hinders your ability to communicate
clearly to your customer is simply unnecessary on a commercial web site.
Also your web site is an investment. What you plan to get out of it will dictate
how much money, time and energy you devote to its success. I understand that and
design a custom package that maximizes the return on your web site investment by
offering the best solutions for your business.
The sky is the limit when it comes to what you can do with your web site. You can
sell your services and products on-line, offer memberships, post your newsletters
and press releases, display photographs of your company, advertise current events
and upcoming sales and promotions. The list is endless and nothing is impossible.
The answer is yes or no. There are a lot of free web site building locations on
the internet, as well as packages of software that you may either download or purchase.
This is a great idea for those who have a personal web site and for those who are
not invested in the results that their web site attains them and for those who have
the time to learn how to get their web site to work for them.
For those of you who want a completely functional and professional Internet Presence
then yes, a professional Web Designer would benefit both your business and your
audience fully. Web sites can be very complicated and require various elements of
programming that most "do-it-yourself" programs are unable to fulfill.
Most professional Web Designers charge by the hour and tend to charge thousands
of dollars. My sites range from $500 - $2000 and go up from there depending upon
the complexity of the site. The advantage to hiring me to build your site is that
not only do I put together the best possible package for your business' web site,
but I also go beyond and will take care of all of your advertising needs. From business
cards through to portfolio's, you no longer need to go to different designers to
have your advertising and marketing needs met.
Absolutely. Selling products and services on-line is now the best way to do business.
If you look around, it is likely that a high percentage of your competitors already
have a web site and are actively selling to their clients on the internet. It is
important to consider, however, that your business will be required to re-evaluate
its existing prices, taxes and modes of delivery to take into account the different
costs involved in e-commerce.
Yes. There are numerous ways to accept credit cards on-line. Merchant accounts and
escrow services are just a couple of the ways to make this possible.
A merchant account is an account that you establish with a banking agency that allows
you to accept credit card payments for transactions. You do not necessarily need
a merchant account to sell your products on-line, however, if you are serious about
e-commerce, establishing a merchant account is in your best interest.
You need a "hosting provider" which is a service that has a computer which is physically
connected to the World Wide Web. It is very costly to maintain your own server,
so most companies rent space on the hosting providers' computers.
There are various ways, both free and paid, to advertise your site. Banner exchange
programs, search engine submissions, and classified ads are just some of the common
methods of generating traffic to your site. It is important that your web site is
programmed and indexed correctly and that the promotion of your web site is ongoing.
I am focused totally on your success. This means that you will receive the maximum
benefit from your web site by providing you with an outstanding web site that makes
you stand out from your competitors and that attracts visitors and keeps them coming
back. My design, marketing, promotion, e-commerce and complete advertising packages
satisfy all of your advertising needs.
