In today’s world, websites have grown to become very important assets that businesses of all sorts have noticed can be very beneficial to them.
There used to be more traditional ways to enhance a business’ image and it was mainly through the ever know 4Ps of marketing:
- Product
- Price
- Promotion
- Place
Seems pretty cut and dry, you have at least 3 out of 4 and you’re golden.
However, the world has turned its attention to digital, now there’s more that companies need to do to make them noticeable, available and more attractive; they have to have an online presence no matter how minimal, the more digitally present the better.
Now you can have all 4 Ps if you want, but people are going to be wondering why they can’t find you while they’re searching for you on Google, asking questions like how come I can’t find this company online. Or if they find your website and it’s not up to par, they’ll wonder why the website isn’t attractive enough or up to date and it could affect how they see your company.
In today’s world where there are a number of options to choose from, people can afford to be picky and companies know that so they have to step up their game.
Customers these days are extremely smart, well aware and have very high standards, they will measure you and your product or service based on how well you present yourself online, how available you are and how many social platforms you’re on.
Back to our main issue which is the importance of investing in a good website.
First of all, it has a lot to do with image; if your website looks professional, your clients will think you’re doing well enough to have a site built for you or if you’re a web developer then by all means that’s better because it shows your capabilities.
Second, if you’re a local business owner then it’s likely your business will prosper because when people first hear about a company through any means they automatically search for you online, if they find that your competitors have a better and more presentable website than yours then they will automatically believe your competitors are better than you, it’s a quick assumption, however rash that may seem, it’s the harsh truth.
Third, even if you’re a small local business, there’s always room to expand globally, but that can’t be possible without an amazing website.
In addition to winning over clients from abroad, it will look amazing to your current and potential clients that you’re working internationally.
Maybe in the past you didn’t think that websites were that important, but nowadays we can’t stress enough just how crucial they are for many businesses, who wish to prosper and keep expanding.
