Need a website for your\u00a0business, but have a limited budget?<\/h2>\n

If your business still does not have a website then you are probably a start up. Your business has just started gaining momentum and you are thinking:<\/p>\n

“I need a website for my business, but have a limited budget. What can\u00a0I do?”<\/p>\n

Many\u00a0small businesses, micro businesses and sole traders realize, especially at start-up time, that they do need a website but consider it as an expense rather than an investment<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Need
\nThis is understandable. <\/strong>Because this is a time when your business is\u00a0faced with all kinds of costs just to get off the ground.\u00a0But it is also counter productive.\u00a0Your website can do a whole lot of cool stuffs for you – not just bring in new business. <\/strong>For example your website can:<\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  1. Provide quick and easy information on your products and services – help your potential customers make an informed decision.<\/li>\n
  2. Give you the ability to drive more customers to your brick and mortar locations. Because your website is online 24\/7, customers aren’t limited to finding and learning about your business during normal business hours. In addition, you can tailor your website to give your customers exactly the information that they are seeking with all the marketing pitches.<\/li>\n
  3. Make connections with other businesses in and outside of your industry – business networking 24\/7.<\/li>\n
  4. Collect and utilize Demographic Data – having a website, combined with free tools such as Google Analytics can really help you determine and better analyze your marketing demographics<\/li>\n
  5. Give credibility to your business – having a well-designed, professional looking website, will provide well deserved credibility to your business.<\/li>\n
  6. Increase ease of Customer Interaction –\u00a0you may\u00a0think that a website is simply a place to put information. But at it’s core a well planned website is much more than that. Potential customers can reach out to you by filling out a simple contact form\u00a0even in the middle of night instead of waiting to call you on the next business hour. You can also provide support by \u00a0email or support ticket system. Maintain a Customer Relationship Management system. The easier it is for people to interact with your business, the more likely they are to remain a satisfied customer.<\/li>\n
  7. Maintainability –\u00a0websites are not\u00a0print media and set in stone. A website is easy to change, and can be updated as frequently as needed. If you have a new product or service or a change in business policy you can quickly reach your potential and existing customers through your website and educate them about the new product, services or policy changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n

    While it is still somewhat true that not everyone absolutely must have a website, it will be hard to find a business category that will not benefit from having one. So, your website is not an expanse – it is an investment<\/strong> and a lucrative one at that. And when you are investing into something, you should be wise about it so that in the long run it returns well on your money and effort. Otherwise\u00a0your website will become what you feared it to be – just another “expanse” and waste of your money.<\/p>\n

    It is not uncommon for us to hear things like\u2026<\/p>\n

    \u201dMy cousin (grandpa, brother, neighbor’s son etc.) knows how to design\u00a0web sites, They are so cheap! Why would I pay more to have a professional web design company build my website?.\u201d Or “I can get my website done for 100$ from this freelancer website. “<\/div>\n

    After all, who does not want to save a buck or two? It is sad but true that eventually most of these companies realize that\u00a0they should have gone\u00a0with a professional web design company to start with<\/strong>. Because the honest truth is that:<\/p>\n

    It is too much work for a non-professional web design company to do justice for your business website.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Don’t be one of them. Because as time goes on, these companies who have a \u201ccheap\u201d web designer or freelancer come to us because their “cheap website designer” has developed one of the following symptoms:<\/p>\n
