Why Does Your Business Need a Website?

There are so many ways nowadays to show off your business online and in person. Physical ads such as signs and banners can only be used in specific places and social media is a great resource you can use for free, but might as well be another full time job. Websites on the other hand, work for you 24/7 to attract attention on search engines such as Google and Google Maps, shows your audience who you are and what you do, and can act as a platforms for sales, bookings, and more.

With all the different social media platforms available, how do you manage each and make time to work?

Why Websites Work Better Than Social Media

Social Media has taken over our attention faster than anyone ever expected and it is undoubtfully a great tool to expand a business's reach organically and with ads. There's just one major issue for most business owners: the time it takes to fully take advantage of the benefits.

It takes hours each day to decide what to post, creating the content, optimizing captions and hashtags, responding to comments and interacting with others, as well as the million other things that a full time social media manager will do for thousands per month to take full advantage of what social media has to offer for business owners.

Websites on the other hand, assuming you hire a professional, only take a few hours working with the we designer or developer to fully put a site together that will work day and night to drive traffic and make your business more visible online. SEO, branding, online sales, bookings, contact, email marketing, information on your business and more all for the price of 1-3 months of social media management. But the real selling point? YOU SAVE TIME! No need to keep on top of constant content creation and management, a good website does the work for you so you can focus on what you love doing and what makes you money!

How Much Do Websites Cost?

This is a very nuanced question that depends on the type and size of website, what you need the website to do, experience of the designer/developer and more. A good rule of thumb is a static 3-6 page website with limited capabiliy will cost $2,000-$5,000, with more complex and larger sites costing more. E-commerce sites run a but higher due to the added complexity of branding, payment processing, product listings, automated notifications and more.

Now that may seem like a steep price for something that you may not see everyday but think about it this way. Let's assume your site will have a lifespan of 5 years before it needs major renovations, would having a website that allows you to stop being invisible online, facilitates online sales, creates trust with your audience, and take you a step above your competitors make you and extra $30-$100 each month? If so, why haven't you created one sooner?
