As a small business owner, you might wonder if you need a professional website. You might think it’s too expensive or it’s easier to put one together yourself or you might think no one will even look at your website. But as a small business owner, you absolutely must have a website and a professionally designed one and here are five reasons you should have a professional website
1.It gives you credibility
More and more consumers use the internet to search for products and services these days. If a client is not familiar with your business, your website is your perfect opportunity to present yourself as a professional and credible business. A well designed website gives the promise of a strong and trustworthy brand.
2. It can saves you money
A website saves money on the cost of paper advertising, such as brochures, flyers, newsletters or mailing. Digital advertising can be much more inexpensive and your website can serve multiple purposes, from providing specials, menus or inventory information, which saves money!
3. It is always accessible
On a website, your customer can always access your business, whether you are open or not. They can answer their own questions about hours of operations, products, specials or leave you a message through email. You won’t lose a potential customer by closing at a certain hour.
4. Improves customer service
Your website is the ideal place to provide helpful tips and tools about your business and answer all of your customer’s questions. It can make it much more convenient for your customer to do quick checks on your well-designed website, instead of calling you on the phone or stopping by your place of business. In this fast-paced world, convenience and customer service are extremely important business values!
5. Widens your customer base
You can advertise locally or in your town. You can post up nice signs in your business windows and ask your current customers to pass on information about your services but all of that will only get you so far. Having a beautiful and professional website puts you in front of a much bigger audience. You are no longer tied to a phone book or geographic location. You have unlimited reach when it comes to your potential customers!
