Why your business needs a responsive website.

Does your business have a responsive website?

As a small business owner you must have a responsive website for your business. If you do not already have a responsive website, then you should ask yourself why not? Is it you can’t afford the cost? Or maybe don’t have the time? Or is it you are not technically minded? Or maybe you don’t see the benefit of having a responsive website for your company. Whatever your excuse you really need to address the negatives a get cracking to discover the steps you need to take to get your new website up and running as soon as possible.

A small business without a responsive website in modern times is a recipe for disaster! You must take the necessary steps to get online with your business immediately. Your website design is not something to take lightly and really is a job for a professional web designer. Never forget that your new website will represent your company or business online, and your new website will level off the playing field, particularly for a small or medium sized business, and can give the “Big-Boys” a run for their money.

So, what is the problem? Let’s take a look at some of the challenges:

  1. You cannot afford the cost?
    Did you know that with the trend ever increasing towards online spending it is estimated that only 23% of small Irish businesses are engaged in any meaningful way in e-Commerce sales. Grants are available from €2500 for eligible companies. You can, and should apply for a web design grant.

  2. You have not got the time?
    If this is the problem then you really need to check your marketing plan. You must know that a new website will save you lots of time. Yes, it may take an initial little effort but overall a company without a website is really not in business.

  3. You are not technically minded?
    If you employ a good web designer you do not need to have any technical knowledge. Your web designer can look after all of this. All you will need is the basic information about your business and a good designer can do the rest.

  4. You don’t see the need for a website?
    We will not go into all of the benefits for your company to have a responsive website, but let’s look a few. A good website will save you time, save you money and make you money. A good website will show your goods or services not only to your immediate customer base but also to potential customers and clients worldwide, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. A good website can be used as a reference for all previous good work and examples of your goods or services and can also act as an endorsement by previously happy customers who will tell new prospects how good your company is.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is the process of affecting the visibility of a website or a web page in a search engine's un-paid ("organic") search results. In general, the earlier (or higher ranked on the search results page), and more frequently a site appears in the search results list, the more visitors it will receive, and the more business it will generate. With this in mind we need to find out what do we need to know to get good SEO.
