A recent article in the Western Mail revealed that more than half of UK small businesses do not have a website despite research revealing an average 37% increase in turnover among small businesses with an online presence.
More interesting is the fact that the majority of small business owners have no knowledge of the benefits of having a website for their business because they simply don't understand the concept.
"Not having a website is like leaving your shop-front boarded up or refusing to tell customers anything about the services you provide" ~ {Cameron Mclean Paypal UK}.
The report also revealed among the businesses that have a website, more than half stated their overall turnover had increased since the introduction of a website. The average increase in turnover for small businesses with online presence is 37%. This means that small businesses who don't have a website could be missing out on as much as £52,000 in additional turnover.
Whether you work from a premises or from home there are many benefits to having a website for your small business. Besides the obvious benefits of promoting a product or service a website can be used as a point of contact for your business.
Another benefit is to show your company history which can include pictures of past and present plus achievements. This is a good method for ensuring trust. The biggest advantage is that clients or customers can view your site in their own time to explore your products or services which gives you a great opportunity to deploy some good marketing.
Cost is a major turn off for most small businesses but there are government grants available for small businesses to help with the cost of a website. Usually IT grants are available up to a maximum of £2000 and this will typically be more than enough for an efficient small business website.
