The work that we do varies greatly from client to client, from a simple placeholder
website to large online business systems.
Sometimes it is hard to visualise why your business needs a website, which it why
we've thought it sensible to provide a list of reasons for you! Hopefully they will
provide some food for thought about why and how your business can benefit from a
website.
1. Your Business is Open to the World 24/7, 365 Days a Year
Unlike your office which may only be open from 8-5, Monday through Friday, your
website is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. It is a constant online representation
of you and your business available for all to view at anytime, anywhere regardless
of location
2. It's Your Online Brochure
A website can be changed at anytime and is easier, cheaper and quicker to update
than print material. The potential of your websites capabilities are almost limitless
which allow you to provide users with more comprehensive information as well as
saving you money on printing and distribution costs.
3. Reach New Markets with a Global Audience On the Internet
Once on the internet, you aren't just that local little business anymore, you become
something greater. Your business has the potential to be seen by and trade with
millions of potential customers across the globe. Without a doubt, the Internet
is the most cost effective way to trade both nationally and internationally.
4. Improve Customer Service
By providing answers to commonly asked questions about your business on your website
sales and information requests can be processed automatically and immediately, whether
someone is in the office or not. Online forms can be used to allow customers to
request quotations or ask further information. Save costs by allowing users to download
invoices, proposals and important documents.
5. Present a Professional Image
For a small business, a well-designed web site is a great way of instilling confidence
and looking bigger than you actually are. In this day in age, your customers will
assume that you already have a website. By now, it is more than likely that your
primary competitors probably already have a their presence established on the Internet.
If they do, keep up with them and find ways to make yours better by doing things
that they don't.
6. Sell Your Products
Why pay expensive rent, overheads, electric bills and all the other costs that go
along with owning a bricks-n-mortar business? Selling in cyberspace is a good way
to supplement your offline business. Providing secure online ordering is very affordable
for even the smallest businesses.
7. Promote Your Services
Lawyers, doctors, financial consultants, entertainers, realtors and all service
oriented businesses should let customers know that they have a choice. Millions
of users are referring to the web and are using company's websites to make major
decisions when they need a specialized service. Can you afford to not have the business
generated by a professional internet presence?
8. Gather Information and Generate Valuable Leads
Using your website you can gather information about your customers and potential
customers by using forms, surveys and Google's fantastic analytics software. Rather
than going out and getting leads, let them come to you! Your website is a great
tool for prospecting targeted customers looking to use your products and services.
9. Provides Instant Gratification
People these days are busy and don't like to wait for information. Give them what
they want, when they want it. This can be applied throughout your website by including
pictures, brochures, software, videos, Power Point slides, music and more.
10. Great Recruiting Tool
Whether you are looking for talent or posting job opportunities with your company,
your website is a great recruiting tool for building your business. It can provide
prospective employees with all the information they will need about your business
so you can sit back and let the applicants come to you.
Our work utilises market leading technologies such as the Microsoft .Net3.5 platform,
Server 2003 and Ajax and is always developed in a way that incorporates a level
of flexibility that ensures that the finished product matches your exact needs.
Many of our sites make full use of several very new technologies that are at our
disposal for example, Geo-referencing, Web-based GIS, SMS and MMS composition and
messaging, Silverlight and mobile ticketing solutions
Our projects are usually all designed in house in an innovative and eye catching
fashion working closely with the client to ensure that your site will stand out
as a showcase for your business or organisation. Of course we are, however, also
more than happy to work from designs that you may have yourself.
Some samples of our work can be seen in our portfolio.
