Is your website working for you?
Many small businesses cut corners when it comes to their web presence. The cost is too high, you don’t know what to write, you have a niece who can make you a Facebook page, you don’t think a website is that necessary…
Let me tell you: in today’s market, WEBSITES ARE ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. And a professional-looking website is the way to go, which means you need a professional web designer. Why? Web designers have the expertise to turn your minor web presence into a site that sells for you!
Take a look at your website. Does it have all of the following qualities?
- A clear homepage with well-organized, easy-to-read information (animated Flash intros are a thing of the past, guys!)
- Relates to your industry (if you’re an auto mechanic, images of cars work better than images of shopping bags, children, etc.)
- Addresses your customers’ needs: what their problem is & what they’re looking for
- Brand consistency (same logo, colors, fonts, etc. that you use elsewhere for your company’s identity)
- Responsive to scale with all devices (mobile ready)
- Search Engine Optimization (SEO): your site is programmed to include keywords that boost your search rating (if someone types in “NC auto mechanic” to Google, your site would be one of the first 5 to appear on the list)
If you hit all those points, congratulations! Your website is rockin’!
If you only hit some, maybe it’s time to update.
