Most businesses can benefit from a well designed website. but not every business benefits in the same way. A key question to ask yourself before you embark on developing a website is "How can a website make my business more profitable?". Your answer will help to determine whether you need a website which you can use to:
- sell products
- provide information to customers and potential customers
- capture the names of potential customers
- provide a service (e.g. an online directory such as www.LocalServiceGuide.com)
Depending on exactly what you want your site to do, the cost can vary from as little as a few hundred pounds to many tens of thousands. A few extremely sophisticated websites could cost even more.
Deciding on what you want to get out of your website, is important because it will help you to decide whether any proposed cost is worthwhile or whether, at least to start with, you need to look for lower cost options.
