Starting a new business is extremely exciting, but taxing at the same time. With little funds available, entrepreneurs have to be as resourceful as humanly possible; often, the marketing side of the business is affected or delayed. That’s why a Web site is one of the last things start-ups usually invest in. Domains.co.za’s Web site building solution, Site Builder, allows companies, especially start-ups, to create, run and manage a professional Web site more affordably.
Here’s why it is a great idea for your start-up to be online:
- It is affordable: From only R85 per month (hosting and domain name included), your start-up won’t have the pressure of losing large amounts of its capital for this purpose. You can invest the funds you do have to buy stock, packaging or whatever else you need instead.
- It can be live in minutes... literally: While many entrepreneurs seem to have copious amounts of time on their hands, the truth of the matter is that they are simply more effective with the hours available to them. Driven by their vision, they are hyper-productive. Because you set the pace for your Web site, it can be live when you say so. All you need to do is choose a template, drag and drop specific functionality, upload pictures and copy and paste your Web site content.
- It gives you a professional online presence: A Web site backs your story. Every investor you meet with and every potential customer who hears about you via word of mouth will look for you online.
- You can start sending professional e-mails ASAP: Your Site Builder package comes with a complimentary hosting package and domain name, which means you will be able to send and receive e-mails from and to your sales@yourbusiness.tech e-mail address as soon as possible. This is a far more professional approach to doing business than through a personal gmail or hotmail e-mail address.
- You’ll show up in search engine searches: By putting some time and energy into the writing of your Web site copy and its meta descriptions, you’ll start to show up in search engines for the service or product you offer. This means without doing anything, search engines can help get the word out for you for free.
- It is a platform from which to upsell: Say, for example, your start-up is a home bakery. After a beautiful wedding cake you’ve baked, the bride refers you to another bride and when she visits your Web site, she sees that you also bake breads. She needs bread for the cheese table and decides to order this from you as well.
- It is the cheapest 24/7 sales agent ever: Start-ups normally don’t have funding to employ staff from the get-go. But with a Web site in place, you automatically have an “always open” shop or an “on-the-job” sales agent singing your praises. While you are sleeping or in a meeting, or at your day job, your Web site could refer you to many potential customers and showcase your products.
