Small Business Website

Small Business Website

Can you remember the last time you used the yellow pages to look up a business? we cant remember either, although the latest copy that was dropped off at Affordable websites office seems to have shrunk alot compared to previous copies. Over the past 5 years alone we have seen the golden pages, yellow pages and business directories shrink to an all time low as almost every business nowadays have chosen the online route as there main source of advertising for their business. These days the best way to find new businesses, products, and services is by searching the internet for options. It’s really of no great surprise that most businesses today have gone down the online route to the internet, to connect with consumers in a way practically unheard of 30 years ago.

Now, only you can decide whether or not a website is right for you, but here are seven reasons to make the change.

Here are 7 reasons why your business needs a small business website

1. Your main competition is already online.

Choosing to get your business online with other businesses that have gone online is a no-brainer at this point. In 2016 not having a website for a small business is rather like saying that you do not need the revenue and an online presence is not for your business. The simple fact is that if you are a business and if not all of your competition is already online, and they’re getting customers that you’re not as a result. Not having a small business website is a huge disadvantage to your own business.

2. A small business website will increase your audience.

Having a small business website opens up your business and your products to a global audience, which is especially important if you utilize your website as an e-store. Selling your products online is a great way to supplement your offline business, and even if you’re not selling a product even the simplest of websites offers exposure to a free market otherwise left untapped. Plus, we live in a culture where “Google It” is a phrase used by almost everyone in Ireland on a daily basis, and I think not having a website is a bit of an oversight for any business in existence if they are to succeed.

3. 24/7 customer service.

Having a small business website is a great move for customer service, allowing your customers to find basic information online that they would otherwise have to call in about taking up the time of you or your employees that could be better spent doing other work. Information requests by customers, or prospective customers, can be handled instantly. A website can work for you while your business is closed, allowing customers to figure out vital information they would otherwise have to wait to have answered. Your business can run online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. With some attention to detail and a solid SEO strategy, your website could become your most valued asset.

4. A small business website allows you to create a very good first impression.

We all have phones and where your customers can pull out his smartphone and access your website within 10 seconds is a massive bonus to your business if they require information. You can likely see how this kind of instant gratification also results in a viewer making a judgment about your website and any service it offers. Unless your website is mobile responsive, showcases useful information about your business and user friendly you’re likely to lose a customer. Just like your business store front, it is your job to create the first impression to get customers in the door or on the phone. Creating a small business website puts you in pole position. A good website design company knows how to implement a style that portrays the impression you intend users to have leaving your business.

5. Great for recruitment.

Your small business website is a great tool for recruitment when you’re looking to fill positions with your business as you can advertise for free and set a page within your website that users can include the relevant information that you require and upload their CV at ease. The classified ads have all but disappeared from newspapers and have moved to digital (like everything else). Your website can be a direct hub for processing online applications, taking the hassle away from sorting through piles of cover letters and CV’s.

6. Having a small business website makes you more discoverable.

Getting discovered online goes beyond search engine results, and having a website with well thought out keywords, proper coding, and appropriate classification aids in having your business information indexed on GPS devices, social media, and other websites that index your business’s information for users to access.

7. People are already talking about your business online.

This comes as a surprise to many small business website owners, but there’s a chance that your business already has a presence online. With websites like Yelp, Google, Facebook, Twitter and other websites that allow user feedback, you can bet that someone has already reviewed your business. It’s an unfortunate truth, but a customer who has had a bad experience with your business is more likely to take to the internet to write a review than someone who had a pleasant experience. Having a small business website and utilizing search engine optimization techniques allows you to push this kind of website further down the page in the search results. Even with positive reviews, if the first thing that pops up when users search your business name is a user review site like Yelp your credibility takes a steep slide, even if you have more good reviews than bad. Having a small business website gives you the opportunity to have customer testimonials online and you can dictate what customers are seeing online about your business.

Responsive Web Design

What is Responsive Web Design?

Responsive Web Design is creating a layout for a website that will provide you with an optimal viewing experience, that is very easy to read and easy to navigate through, that is also visible on devices like PC’s, Laptops, iPhone’s, Android and many other devices.

When we create a responsive website we ensure that the website navigation elements, images, screen layouts and other elements adjust themselves on a variety of devices. This will eliminate the need to spend extra time and money on maintaining a “mobile-website” and “desktop-website”.

We will show you the benefits and why Responsive Web Design is important when creating websites.

Responsive web design

Benefits of Responsive Web Design

1. Extremely Flexible Responsive Web Design

Responsive websites are fluid, allowing the images and content to adapt across screen resolutions on all devices. With the fluid display the website will fill up all gaps of any screen device in the best way possible to display your website smoothly to the end user.

2. User Experience

While content is king on any website as we all know, it is the user experience that needs to work well allowing the end user to view your website anywhere, on any device and at anytime. Responsive web design is about providing the same user experience, whether they use a PC/laptop, smartphone or a tablet. Responsive web design allows the busy professional during the day to view your website on any device without the need to re-size, zoom in/out, making the viewing experience simple and not time consuming.

3. Cost Effective Responsive Web Design

Being able to edit just one website rather than two is cost effective, saving you time and money. Websites that are designed solely for mobile devices don’t offer the ease of navigation found in traditional websites, and they require the user to maintain two separate website addresses. This is an inconvenience for people and chance are they will check out the competitions website as they get frustrated zooming in and out to read a simple sentence or view images. Responsive web design enhances your SEO efforts by having all your visitors directed to a single site no matter what they prefer to use.

4. Recommended By Google

It’s becoming the industry standard to have a responsive web design for your company, mainly to stay ahead of the competition or to get one step closer by using a responsive Responsive Web Design website if they are using a html website.

Google does say that responsive web design is recommended for mobile configuration, and goes as far as saying that they refer to responsive web design as the industries best practice. This is because responsive websites have one website address, regardless of any device, it makes it easier for Google to crawl, index, and organize content.

5. SEO Benefits

There has been an ongoing discussion on the Search Engine Optimisation forums about responsive websites and search engine optimisation. Some think it is good, while others believe it is not the best solution for all businesses. Google is saying that a responsive website design is the recommended configuration for creating smartphone optimised websites.

This is our opinion

You publish content only once so there is no risk of duplicate content issues
The SEO work you are doing for your desktop version is ‘automatically’ applicable for the mobile version
You are offering mobile users an optimised version so are more likely to rank higher on mobile search results
It is recommended by Google
