We have the knowledge and skills to build you or your company (from Social Media Profiles and Pages to E-Commerce Websites) the perfect online presence.

*Only about 44% of small businesses operate a website. 47% of prospective customers said they are more likely to purchase services or products from a small business with a website, according to a recent Discover Small Business Watch Survey.

Having a website of your own provides your business with invaluable advantages over the traditional advertising channels. There are at least 7 reasons why you should present your business online:

1. Increased customers’ convenience: Searching for businesses and products over the Internet is much easier and quicker than leafing through the Yellow Pages. Anytime a potential or existing customer wants to find out more about your business, they can easily do that, especially if you have an “F&Q” section added. Your customers can be always in touch with you, all they need to know is your website address.
2. Greater accessibility to your business profile: Your business profile will be accessible from EVERYWHERE. No other ad channel provides such global coverage. You will not depend any more on restricted presentations based on phone book entries. What is more important, more and more customers nowadays resort to the Internet when searching for products, services and businesses.
3. Greater opportunities for promoting your business portfolio: People can`t buy your products or services if they don`t know that they actually exist. Through a WEBSITE you can tell your potential audience much more than you could possibly do via any print advertisements, Yellow Pages listings, or TV/radio commercials. There are no limitations with regard to space and time, nationality and residency. You can say as many things as you want, to as many people as YOU wish. And your business representation can be as resourceful as is the Internet.
4. Low-cost efficient advertising:  Practically, what happens is – your website runs a NON-STOP PROMOTION of your business! Your customers are always able to obtain up-to-date and thorough information about your services or products. Instead of having to rely on randomly aired TV or radio commercials, they can simply browse through your website whenever they have time or need to.
5. Around-the-clock availability: A website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. It will be your hardest-working employee, never getting sick, or taking holiday. And you can always rest assured that your website is there for you – to answer to your customers` questions, or to collect their feedback instead of you.
6. It saves time: With a website, prospective customers can learn about you and your business at any time of the day or night without you having to be all the time pre-occupied with the process. The time you would otherwise spend on answering or re-directing of your customers` questions can be now saved and invested in further activities to increase your profits, in other words – in further expansion of your business.
7. It saves money: You can save a lot of money spent otherwise on print and postage costs for brochures, coupons, flyers, specials, newsletters, and other mailings. Furthermore, while regular renewals of printed materials can be quite expensive and also time consuming, updating information on your website is always handy, fast and most important – amazingly efficient. As we all know, nothing is more valued in a business than optimal productivity for minimal input costs.

Top 10 Features of a Winning E-Commerce Site

Best E-Commerce Developer & E-Commerce Web Design Firms, Best Web Design Agencies – 2013

E-commerce has become a large part of the internet and the economy all around the world. Giving the consumers the opportunity to deal business online has helped to dissolve physical borders as well as to help businesses reach out to a wide variety of customers originally inaccessible. It’s important to have a good website design that encourages users to browse the online catalogue through their internet browser and to make their online purchase in the same place.

It’s not surprising that clearly stated information is the top factor in whether a customer buys from your site or not. But what are some of the other influences? Let’s take a look:

Top 10 Features of a Winning E-Commerce Site

1. Pricing/shipping information clearly stated – It all comes down to trust, the less information you include in the ordering process/shopping cart the more likely the buyer will abandon their purchase. All taxes, shipping and additional costs should be clearly visible throughout the ordering process.
2. Looks credible and trustworthy – One of the easiest ways to instil trust in buyers is to have the relevant security badges for your site. Our ineedhits site is certified by TRUSTe and also its security is verified by VeriSign. Any affiliation with industry associates (such as SEMPO) also helps in building trust and credibility with buyers.
3. Product displayed on homepage – This makes sense as the main action you want visitors to make when reaching your homepage is to click deeper into your site.
4. Visually appealing – This is one of the basic principles of website design. Don’t make your site too cluttered – break up the text with images.
5. Total cost calculator (shipping, tax, etc)- Similarly to the first point, ensure that the buyer has all the pricing information before they submit their credit card or Paypal details. If you trick the buyer in the ordering process then it’s likely you will loose them forever.
6. Search function – As the number of products/services your site offers increases, the more it is necessary to offer a search box.
7. Privacy statement – I see a privacy policy as a must if you have an e-commerce site. With identity fraud on the rise it is imperative that customers feel that they can safely shop on your site.
8. Onsite customer reviews/testimonials – Reviews and testimonials give the buyer more confidence in transacting with you if you’re not a big brand.
9. Online customer service (live chat) – A live chat service is particularly helpful for buyers who are having trouble purchasing your products/service. By providing a live chat option you are likely to reduce your cart abandonment rate.
10. Links to social networks – If you have a Facebook or Twitter account for your business then why not share it with your buyers. One way to do this is put the links to all your social media sites in your website footer.
