Why Owning A Website Is So Important

Twenty years ago no one would have thought that to be part of the world’s business industry they’d have to create their website. Today, it’s a whole other story. There are over 1 billion websites on the world wide web today, and the numbers just keep on growing. The included count goes from virtual shops and catalogs, to small businesses located in an unknown street.

But have you ever stopped to ask yourself, what makes websites so important to people worldwide? Isn’t a real-life location enough?

The answer is no. As of today, everyone is attached to their mobiles like a dog to its leash. You look around you to find people constantly sliding and tapping their fingers on the small-to-huge screens. But that’s only outside. Inside are the computers and the laptops. So what’s a better way to let the world know you exist than to advertise yourself online..?

Ok we’ve gathered that a website today is a necessity. However I think it’s important we go over the facts, meaning the afvantages of creating your website online.

Firstly, it’s way less expensive. Have you ever tried advertising yourself through printed media, radio etc? Talk about expensive..With a website you can easily promote your business with much less money-scattering, while some campaigns could even be free. If we’re talking about campaigns and advertisements – online they are totally environmental friendly and sale increasing. For instance you have Facebook ads or SEO (Search Engine Optimation).

For the next advantage, we’ll step into your customer’s or client’s point of view. For them, sitting comftorably on their chair with the air conditioning on, instead of running around in the burning sun, is an amazing user experience. Besides, there’s more of a chance that they’ll find what they’re looking for without having to ask any questions while they’re browsing. I’m not only talking about a virtual shop, but also about a business. The browser has a chance to get to know about your knowledge, work and experience without having to waste their time (and yours!) by talking to you on the phone. All the information can be found in a few clicks.

This of course brings you to the next advantage – increasing your customers. A website helps you generate more customers globally, and at any hour of the day. Accessible and fresh, as you can constantly add blogs and posts to your website (just like me :) thus adding more flavor and traffic to your website.

I could keep listing the great advantages of building your online website, but then it would be a booklet and not a post. Which is why I gave you the shortened version, so you get the idea.

Websites aren’t only pages; they’re your key to global advertisement.
