An appealing, functional and informative web site
is absolutely vital for future sales


The Internet has done something that no one predicted. It has significantly shortened the time from becoming interested in a product or service, and the time the purchase is made.

As viewers use the Internet to research a product or service, more and more time is being spent gathering information, data, prices, etc. Less time is being spent visiting the company, possibly multiple times, and then placing an order. When the consumer does finally visit a store or business to make a purchase, he feels well-prepared to make decisions, good choices, and to buy quickly.

Advertisements, direct mail, and other promotional activities now may seem to be ineffective, while in reality they are planting an idea for consumers to investigate. What this means is that the delay from first becoming interested in a product or service, to visiting the store, is now longer than before the Internet.

A large percentage of consumers no longer see an advertisement and immediately go to the store. The pattern that is developing today is that consumers become aware of a product or service, and then go to the company’s web site to learn more. They will often visit competitor’s sites as well to compare.

Only after the consumer feels satisfied with the information he has gathered will he visit the store.

Recent research now shows that 90% of consumers
will not call, visit, or order online, if the advertiser’s
web site does not appeal to them.

An attractive, informative and easily navigated web site is now more important than ever. Simply posting a few pages of general information and an e-mail link won’t do the trick. The public now expects to be able to find detailed information about the company, its products or services, quality photos, store locations, people, warranties, privacy policy, a contact form, and more.

Every element of the site needs to be designed with the prospect in mind. Whatever information an average consumer might want to know needs to be included. Also consider the type of information that demonstrates the benefits and advantages your products and services offer over competitor’s offerings.
