subject: Free Website Builders Vs Professional Design for Business [print this page] The World Wide Web has been around a long time now and is growing larger every single day with more and more people getting online and getting connected. In the UK 80% of households have a computer or have alternative access to the internet. That is a staggeringly high percentage of people just waiting for your product or service.
Even with this ever-growing market of potential customers many small businesses have not begun to take advantage by getting there company online. Many small companies are under the false impression that getting their company online is too expensive and in the current financial climate put off having a website created for them. There are many web design companies that charge insanely high hourly and set fees for custom websites while those offering 'cheap alternatives' provide cheap and nasty designs created with free open source programs. This poor availability of well priced, quality web design for small to medium businesses, sole-traders and freelance professionals led to creation of Unicora.com, a company that specialises in website design and associated services for small companies. Offering tailored packages and most importantly tailored prices for small companies in the UK.
Even with an affordable service you may be thinking, why do I need to get online with a custom website for my business? This is a good question and there are many, many benefits to getting your company seen online. In the very first paragraph of this article we spoke about how many people are using the World Wide Web daily. Getting online and seen can increase your sales far beyond what's possible offline with far less cost for advertising. In fact after the initial cost of getting online you can even advertise your company for absolutely nothing.
What other reasons are there for getting online other than the obvious massive potential client base? Having your own company website gives you the unique opportunity to offer your information, showcase your company's products and services with no restriction on design, size or style. A website is a truly uncompromising way to advertise and express your company to a large audience. You can also sell your products online, allow you clients to request your services or even provide an administrative login portal to keep your clients up to date and offer them flexibility in the way they pay for your services. These are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the potential benefits of having a personalised, professional company website .
Some business owners decide to attempt to create their own website using free online websites or cheap programs that are offered all over the web. While this is an option, it radically reduces the possibilities of the design and features of the site. It is immediately obvious when sites have been created through these free sites and cheap programs as the design are similar to thousands of other sites online and look very unprofessional. Though they do give you an online presence, its gives your customers a bad first impression of your company. Think of it this way, when you attend an interview would you turn up in a well pressed suit or ripped jeans and a cheap t-shirt? Make sure your company makes the right impression online!
