ECOMMERICAL

There are two main types of website and they are: an ecommerical or advertisement for your business. These are sometimes referred to as brochure sites because they contain most of the business information you would find in a tradtional printed brochure, however, they are enhanced by the added possibilty for more interaction through email or contact forms, as well as tradtional phone contact. This type of website is very popular for businesses that are new to the internet or those that have no need to sell products online. The second type is ecommerce which is more about transacting business online/selling products or services online using electronic payments. Click the Ecommerce tag above for more details.

An ecommerical site can be simply one page with some information about your company, perhaps one or two pictures of your work or products. This gives perspective customers something tangible to look at, the image of which will often help to tip the balance when deciding who to deal with or place the order with. Which would you choose from a list of ten businesses all with name and contact number, one with a very generic email address such as: AOL, Yahoo, Gmail or MSN - all very vague and unpersonal, or one that has a website link with some examples including: examples of work, unique selling points, company history and current special offers? We are confident that the business with the website content suggested above would be more popular in modern times. All this information can be conveyed often on a single page which will be very cost effective and can of course be built upon or extended as required, as your business grows.

Contray to popular beliefs you do not need to have an email address or even be PC literate to have a website as we look after that side of things. Even the biggest companies advertise online and from all levels of business in all industries you will find them on the web. Although combining email and Paypal is a great way to compliment your website to promote your business and be able to electronically invoice any of your customers digitally. This is much more simple than it sounds and the beauty of the internet is you can do as little or as much as you want online (see our ecommerce page for more details) there has never been a better time or more cost effective way to promote your business and engage with your existing customers that were not possible up until you made a move on to the Internet.
