Website Design
Your business’s online presence, regardless of industry, can have a massive impact on its success. The truth is that a majority of your customers will visit your website before making a purchase. Having a strong online presence can be a make or break for generating more revenue. I'd love to assist you in establishing your 'front door' on the web, so that you can welcome people to your business. Note: this is not your average marketing agency. I specialize in working with creatives, solopreneurs, small businesses, and mom and pop shops from an authentic and nurturing space. I offer small businesses full ownership of their platforms and content, absolute flexibility with my skills and services, training when/if your business desires to bring any elements of my work in-house, and sliding scale rates & win/win packages to fit every single business. I do this because I love small business, I have recognized a gap in support services for small businesses, and I want to contribute to expanding the small business success in communities across the country.
Running your own business is no easy task, and your to-do-list is guaranteed to never end. This said, you shouldn't use this as an excuse to take short cuts when it comes to having online visibility. Beginning with your website, it's vital to position yourself online with a strong, professional destination that gives customers the motivation to engage more with your business.
First Impressions Count
Let's face it - we live in a world where people Google before they shop, visit online review sites like Yelp before they buy and "check-in" via Facebook as they go about their days. Because of this, you want your first impression to be the best it can be. Beginning with your website, consumers are passing judgement and making decisions about whether or not they will even visit your store, restaurant or office. They're likely to dismiss you entirely, as well, should they believe your website doesn't reflect the kind of experience your business - or a business like yours - should offer.
Showcasing your brand to your prospective customers is one of the most important things that you can do. By clearly establishing who you are, what you represent and what you stand for, you increase the chances of your customers buying from you. Plus, once you're online and have an SEO-optimized website, you have a chance of showing up in Google search results. This means that when people are searching for a product or service, there is a chance your website will show up in the results. This gives you the opportunity to drastically increase your customer base.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing reasons to have a website for your business is because it can increase your chances of getting leads. Once people find you online, become interested in your product or service and want to know more, they'll know how to contact you thanks to the information on your website, which gives you the opportunity to increase your sales.
One of the frequently overlooked benefits of having a website is that it saves you and your staff time. Many businesses get calls from prospects or existing customers asking simple questions about location and hours of operation. If you miss a call, the customer is left unhappy. Calls can also distract your staff from focusing on the most important parts of your business. A website can reduce these calls and increase internal productivity. At the same time, it helps customers find useful information without needing to call, which ultimately provides an all-around better user experience.
Finally, since your website is on 24/7, it's easy to post updates and announcements to your customers. It's a way to keep them up to date on everything that you're doing. When something is particularly relevant to them, it increases the chance of you being able to upsell them.
