Why Should I have a Website?
A website is probably the most cost effective form of advertising that there is, and with more people turning to the Internet as a source of information, people these days are just as likely to look on a search engine such as Goggle for a local business as they are to pick up a Telephone Directory. Mobile devices such as the new generation of mobile phones, increasing band-width and a greater reliance on the Internet for business and entertainment will ensure that the number of people using the Web will only grow. Without a Website your business will be unlikely to be listed or found by the main search engines.
On top of the advertising point of view, "Book Marking" (saving a website to your favorites folder) has become a new form of Business Card, and can be passed out by people just as easily if not easier then a traditional business cards. The Website itself becomes a point of contact between you and your clients, selling your business for you 24 hours a day 7 days a week whilst you concentrate with running the business, and providing customers with the means to communicate with you.
Finally, when a customer is looking for a local business or service on-line, they are more likely to choose one with a Website over one that has a Business Directory Listing but no Website. A good Website will give potential clients the information that they need to base a decision on, along with the means to contact you, and will help them to see your Business as being more "Professional" over a similar business without a website, giving you the advantage.
Are Websites Expensive?
Not any more ... We only make Advertising Websites, not complicated time consuming E-Commerce shopping sites, which means that we can keep our prices down for you, and provide you with a surprisingly affordable solution for your Website needs. Once you have purchased a site, the running costs are very low, making internet advertising probably the most cost efficient form of advertising available.
Is the cost of a Website Tax Deductible?
Yes, Advertising Websites, including running costs and updating are fully tax deductible. (Websites that generate a direct income, ie e-commerce sites are a little more complicated and are not fully tax deductible)
What do we need from you to make a Website?
We need certain things from you, such as an idea of what sort of site you require, any pictures you want included and a rough idea of the wording that you want used to advertise your site. If you have a logo that you want used we will need a copy of that as well. We use these as the raw ingredients with which to build your site from.
What about Hosting and Upkeep?
Our "All Inclusive" Packages include Hosting (storage space on the Internet where people can access your site via an Internet Web Address) and also includes 2 minor updates per year. Effectively we can build, upload and run your site for you with no technical knowledge required by yourself.
Can I keep my existing email address?
Yes, you can keep your existing email address, or we can display the address as "@your-site" and redirect emails to your existing email address. If you want we can arrange for a webmail address that you can access from virtually any internet enabled device anywhere in the world.
