Doing Business on the Web
The internet has changed virtually every facet of our lives, and business is no different. Web presence has changed the way we do business. Virtually every company has a website now, with a level of customer interaction that would have seemed impossible just fifteen years ago. In August of 1995, there were approximately 18,000 individual websites across the internet. By November of 2006, that number had swelled to 100 million. As of 2009, that number is hovering around 185 million. Some estimates put the total number of pages at around 9 billion.
If your company doesn't have a website, you're probably looking at these numbers and wondering how you missed the boat. Or you could be thinking, do I really need a website? Many small business owners think that a website would be waste for them, because they either are very small and have very few employees, or their business can't really market their products or services on the internet.
But a company's website is about a lot more than just selling a product online. In a lot of ways, having an internet site is like having a digital store front. It allows your clients and consumers to see you as a real entity. It provides a level of permanence. And a website gives you a digital presence, allowing anyone from customers to prospective employees to investors to see your company and find out more about what you're about.
Simply put, a website provides your company with an inexpensive, efficient way of getting your company's name out there. It says to the world that you are a legitimate business, and it allows people to connect with your company. If you don't have a website, there's a very good chance that you're missing out on business opportunities.
