Fortunately, those aren't the only options available to new businesses. There are companies who offer professional website design and development services at low prices, but these can often be "package deals" that fall short of your requirements.
Before you pay out for a website, think about why you need one and what you want to do with it. Are you intending to sell through your site, or just provide information and contact details. Will you use it to promote special offers, or publicise it on the side of your vehicle?
If you are a small business or sole trader, you will need a website to help promote your products and services. The Internet is one of the main places that people turn to for information, so if you are a plumber working in Manchester for example, you will want to be sure that your website and contact details appear when people type "plumbers in Manchester" into their search engine. Even small websites can be optimised so that they are found quickly by the search engines. You don't need a huge, interactive site, just a couple of professional pages that say who you are and what you do, and give your contact details. Not having a website is ignoring a huge potential market.
With WebCreator, you can not only get a professionally designed website, with email addresses and eCommerce options, you can also control the updates to your site yourself. Access to a web-based content management system means that you can change your prices, update your services and add testimonials whenever you need to. This gives you the greatest possible flexibility in managing your site, ensuring that once we've done the initial work, the rest is in your hands.
No matter what business you're in, the growth in people using the Internet to research and buy products, combined with the growth in businesses using the Internet to sell their services, means that a website presence can be crucial to your company's success.
