Why a Web Site
A web site today is the what the telephone book was for decades – a means for a business to let people know who they were and what they offered; and a way for people to find things that they needed.
The Internet is fast becoming the primary means of communication across the globe. When people need something, they search the web first to find it. If you do not have a web site for your business, it will be harder for people to find you. A good web site makes it easy for you to be found as well as enables you to show people why your business is the place to go.
What are the options
When a web site is designed, it is designed with a purpose. That purpose is defined by the business to meet its needs and desires. A web site can be as simple as place where people can find out where you are and how to contact you. It can be as complicated as a community of customers tied together in an interactive, online store. And it can be anything in between.
A basic web site typically consists of a five or less pages. Across those pages you will find a welcome to your customers, the location of our business so people can find you, a way to contact you, and information about your company and your services/products.
