Why a Website?

Although the Internet has seen incredible growth, especially over the past three years, there are still some skeptics who are unsure about developing an Internet presence. We have compiled some facts and statistics which may help you make a decision as to whether or not a website is right for the needs of you and your company.

Worldwide Advertising. For many reasons, the Internet is the most cost-effective form of advertising available to businesses and individuals today. The cost of maintaining a website for one year is far less than advertising in magazines, radio, television, newspapers or even the yellow pages. A website can also reduce the size of printed ads and/or telephone book listings by referencing a website address for more information. Best of all, your Internet ad runs 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in every part of the globe.

Modern Technology. Remember the days when you had to get a fax machine because everybody had one except you, and without one, you could not receive a fax? Today's consumer is discerning and expects each and every business or individual including physicians, attorneys, retail stores, accountants, roofers, plumbers, builders, and basically anyone doing business to have a website that provides information about their products or services. With the growth of E-commerce, websites are quickly becoming less of an option and more of a requirement for maintaining a professional appearance in today's modern society, and could mean the difference between gaining a new client or losing them to a competitor.

Internet Growth and Usage. The number of Internet users in the United States has grown to reach 60% of the population, with over 168 million people having web access from either the home or office, and Internet sales for the past two years have seen a steady 22% increase over each previous year.* Offering your products or services online will allow you to reach these Internet users on local, state, national, and international levels. *Statistics provided by Nielsen/Net Ratings, 2002.
