Not having a website is as good as not being there in the market. A website acts as a calling card, the first interface of your business that the consumer interacts with.
Like your social media accounts serve as a window to you as a person, your website does the same to your business.
For instance, someone wanting to select a Church for Sunday Mass would give a good read to web information on the Church before deciding to go there. Or, for instance, a buyer looking to purchase something, would, in all probability, do a Google search and compare pricing and services. In both cases, they would prefer and prioritise to get in touch on the basis of a well developed website over a poorly managed, outdated looking one. A bad website will be perceived to be a sloppy and outdated platform, be it for business or simple information. And you don’t want that. Perception is all.
Which simply means it is friendly to all hand held devices.
Larger image sizes may result in larger loading time. Optimisation of images on your website makes it fast loading.
Your website should have relevant and crisp content and data so that a visitor does not have to sift through irrelevant information.
Ensure it is built using latest technology. You do not want to become obsolete and end up getting the same redeveloped sooner than you thought.
