Creare & Industry News

Back in 1994, the internet was just starting to emerge. Yahoo had just been launched and web-sites were just simple text based pages of information. Today the internet has changed the way we do business, spawning hundreds of industries and businesses that depend on it. From buying groceries online to securing business deals, the internet is the new marketplace to do business.

For many industries, embracing and utilising the internet, has proved successful, but in order to be successful on the internet, whether you are selling products online or simply generating enquiries for your business, everything revolves around your web-site.

Simply having a web-site on the internet, doesn’t always mean that you have ticked the box. Ask yourself these questions;

1. Do you receive regular enquiries/business from your web-site?
2. Does your web-site receive enough traffic, to allow you to generate sales and enquiries?
3. Have you seen your competitors web-sites? Do they look better than yours?
4. Is your web-site’s design appropriate and look professional?
5. Does your web-site appear in Google for the products / services that you sell?

If you have answered no to any of the above questions, then you should ask yourself if your web-site is achieving it’s full potential. As we approach 2008, almost 14 years since the birth of the internet, a web-site should have the following in place, in order to stand a chance at competing in the online marketplace.

1. Professional and appropriate web design
2. Web Optimisation, allowing you to appear in Search Engines
3. Prominent phone numbers / forms / contact methods
4. Your web-site should provide a quick and efficient but accurate overview of your services.
5. Up to date information and special offers
