Do You Really Need A Web Site?
Especially if you run a small business,
it's a good idea to ask yourself why you want a web site and
what you expect it to do.
Why The Answer May Be "Yes"
Here are some analogies that may not have
crossed your mind:
A web site is like a business card...
- Except you only print it once, and hundreds,
thousands, or millions of people might see it
- Except a customer can't e-mail you through
your business card
A web site is like a billboard ad...
- Except you only pay for the sign once,
and the traffic passing through can give it their full attention
- Except people "driving by"
can stop and learn anything about your business that you
care to share with them
A web site is like a print ad...
- Except you only pay once, and can change
the ad copy whenever you like
- Except you can't put a video, fact sheet,
or contact form in a magazine or newspaper
Think about whatever you happen to budget
each year for things like business cards, yellow pages ads,
print ads, or direct mail, and think about the value of accomplishing
what all of these services accomplish, but with a one-time
expense.
Our Pitch
You're going to make up your mind based
on what you see, not what we say. We could serve up some "corporate
speak", like...
"By focusing on usability and thinking
outside the box, we use key metrics to leverage seamlessly
integrated solutions to maximize the return on investments
for enterprise eBusiness environments. Architected to provide
tighter integration and deeper collaboration, our designs
provide users real-time product knowledge, helping to streamline
efficiencies in the supply chain, and reduce costs as a value
add for the end-user"
...but we'd prefer to just speak English,
and otherwise let our work speak for itself. Feel free to
contact our clients though, we think
they'll give us a good rap. And by all means contact
us if you think we might offer what you need.
