In today’s world, any business can benefit from having a website. It is a very cost-effective way to advertise your product, service, or profession.

A website can be used as:

• A selling tool to get customers to your business
• A tool to sell products online
• A source of information about your business and what it has to offer
• A follow-up tool for your customers

When you run an ad in a newspaper, magazine, radio or television, the price may range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. This ad will only run for a set period of time. If you want to run the ad again, you must pay once again.

With a website, you make a one-time investment of building a site. This may range from a few hundred dollars to several thousands of dollars. After that initial investment, you pay a web hosting company a fee ranging from $25 to $100 per month. Your site can then be viewed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week by anyone in the world who has Internet access.

Yes. The amount of time to build a website varies depending on how elaborate the site needs to be. Also, a certain amount of cost will be incurred in software to create the site and/or time to learn to create the site. Is that time that you need to be using in your business?

As for hosting at free sites, that is an option. Many of those sites offer only a minimum amount of space, require that your site have ads, and often limit some of the features that your site can have. Is that what you want for your business?

If you think that your profession or business does not use the web, you are probably mistaken. More people every day begin "surfing the web", and businesses are using it to market their products no matter what it is. If you are not sure, go out a search for your specific business and see how many hits you get. Or contact us and we will give you some of our ideas.

The most precious resource that you have in your business is time. A website can help you manage that resource better. The Internet today is what the Fax machine was 20 years ago.
