People still want and need a variety of products and services even in uncertain economic times. So find an unmet need and meet it – with the help of your web site!
As a small business owner you might ask, “Can I afford a web site in today’s economy? Do I really need one now, when every penny counts?”
According to Tory Johnson, small business expert & workplace contributor to ABC’s Good Morning America, “The first thing every business needs is a web site, even if you’re not selling something online, because that’s where we all go for information.”
What Makes a Web Site Affordable to Small Business?
First let’s take a look at what makes a web site unaffordable.
- You can’t afford a site that looks amateurish or unprofessional, because your business image will suffer.
- You can’t afford a site that doesn’t function as it should, because you’ll lose potential leads and customers (opportunity costs).
- You can’t afford a site that’s not search engine friendly, because customers won’t be able to find you.
- You can’t afford a site that’s hard to update, because you’ll lose revenue from incorrect and outdated information.
- You can’t afford not to do it right the first time, because you’ll pay much more in the long run in redundant costs to rebuild the site correctly.
