Get Your Small Business Online – One Page Websites from WinWeb
For a number of reasons, many small businesses have yet to create an internet presence.
Some don't think it's necessary, because their customers come through the door or though personal referrals, and they can't see the internet changing that. Others recognise the benefits and see their competitors getting involved, but they don’t really understand it, and are worried about the extra cost and time.
WinWeb has come up with a solution: one page websites - cost-effective and set up in minutes.
"These websites offer a way for small businesses to have an online presence quickly, easily and at a price they can afford," said WinWeb's Susan Bryant.
There are two things that have changed recently on the internet. The first is that more and more customers are searching the internet to find products and services. It is becoming the first port of call, replacing telephone directories and classified ads. Now 80% of people use Google when searching for a tradesman, product or service.
The second point is that the internet is beginning to understand where people are. So a customer could be standing yards from your business as they type 'hairdresser' into their smartphone. But if you are not plugged into the net, that customer will be directed to your competitor around the corner.
Your WinWeb one page website will give you everything you need to establish your business online.
"WinWeb are passionate about helping small businesses to succeed, and believe that being online is an integral part of business success" said Susan.
The crucial difference between WinWeb's one page package and other low cost offerings is that design and content are included in the price. Technical details like hosting and domain name registration are all bundled in, and once created the site can be easily updated by the business owner.
A big part of success on the internet is search engine optimisation (SEO). This is all about ensuring that your website shows up near the top of Google when people search. WinWeb's one page websites include basic optimisation and optional extra packages are offered too. These can be useful if your market is particularly competitive and you have to do more to barge your way to the top.
Your website can expand with your business too. The one page website is only the tip of the iceberg of WinWeb's offerings. Once you are confident with what the web can offer, and what you can do with it, you can easily move to a multi-page website, adding blogs and other content as you go.
Take a look at what's on offer at the WinWeb site. Before long you'll be wondering why you hadn't put your business on the net a long time ago.
