What Good is a Web Site, Anyway?

Many people have the wrong idea about web sites. They are not the same as newspaper ads, billboards, cable commercials or other traditional media, and their intent is not to attract the immediate attention of new customers.

The value of a web site is that holds information, especially the answers to all those questions your customers ask when they call. What are your hours of business and the directions to your location? What services and products does your company offer, and at what prices? What is your company’s history and experience? If you could say anything, what would you tell a prospective customer to persuade them that your business is the one they are looking for?

No newspaper ad, phone book listing, flyer, or brochure can match a web site for the quantity of persuasive information made available to consumers, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With a web site, you have hundreds to thousands of words to “make the sale,” along with pictures of products, people, and places. These all serve to enhance the customer’s level of confidence, comfort, and familiarity. Web sites work to close the sale, by convincing prospective buyers of your professionalism and expertise.

In any Marketing Strategy, your web site should be thought of as the hub of a wheel. The spokes are your company’s advertising efforts. All other advertising points to the web site by listing it on flyers, business cards, newspaper ads, billboards, direct mail, and other media. Why should a web site be at the center of your company’s advertising efforts? Because it is the one place with the luxury to say absolutely everything you want your customers to know. And as each generation gains more experience on the Internet, web sites are turned to as more functional, informative, and easier to use than the yellow pages ever were.

InWestmoreland can provide your business with an affordable presence on the Internet, where information about your company becomes available to customers as close as the house next door and as far-flung as an Internet café in Paris. 

Web sites are a sign of professionalism, as essential today as hanging out a shingle was in ages past. But this shingle shines to the world, becomes a business card able to convince, persuade, and provide customer service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Given time, it can become a source of new customers, as it will be a source of pride from the day your web site goes on line.
