Do I need a new website?
If you find yourself regularly asking this question then perhaps it’s time to take a look at your website, if you have one, and see if it’s reaching its potential.
When was the last time you made an update? When was the last time you posted new content? Is your contact number even correct? Has anyone contacted you from your website for more information?
There are many more questions that could be asked but if you answered No to any of these then perhaps it’s time to consider a redesign. Apart from the obvious factor that you’ll be uplifting the online face of your business, a crisp and attractive website can reach thousands of potential customers in our digital age.
Even if you don’t need a fully-fledged website, a portfolio style website design can vastly improve your presence and professional appearance. I always tell small businesses that they don’t need huge websites, just a small catalogue showcasing what their about and what they do. This goes the same for you. You don’t need huge, expensive and time consuming websites and pull you away from your business. Get something designed that is straight to the point, easy to use, clear, and represents your business not just the latest design trends.
Find out what works for you. Realistically it’s a trial and error process. No one knows exactly what they need to start with, and if you think you do, you’ll find your website will /should change as your business does.
So start experimenting and make it fun!
