One of our services is website consultation and development. So It’s natural to kick off the blog with some understanding why does your company need a website? Coca-Cola had survived the great depression in the 20’s and 30’s without a website. So why do we need a website now then?

A website is an extremely valuable tool that bolsters your existing marketing, sales, recruitment and communications effort. In fact, if your business is not online or your existing site is unprofessional or ineffective, then you are losing sales opportunities. A good website will help you reach and retain customers!

But how do you go about finding out your companies needs and ultimately, finding out the need for a website? Here are a few questions to ponder, with a few answers to go along with them…

1. Do you currently (or would you like to) use email to communicate within your business and to your customers/vendors? If so, you will need a domain name in order to send and receive corporate email, which is the first step to getting a website. Slvridge’s solutions can develop a website tailored to your specific professional appearance and personal style. We strives to create a functional website designed to be completely user freindly while also giving a very professional look and feel to attract new customers to your business.

2. Do the people in your business’ target market spend time online? If your customers are online part of the time, then they may be looking for your business online. This is an extra medium for you to capture their interest and inform them about your business and your products/services.

3. Do you seek a higher return on your investment than what you’re currently using? Determining your ROI can be very tricky online. A well designed and well managed website will help you to not only achieve these goals, but achieve the repetition of these goals. If you sell to a customer once, that’s great, but if you can sell to that same customer 10 times or 100 times that’s even better. It’s far easier to sell to existing customers than to try to get new ones.
So now it is your call!
