As you walk down the street in a new city, you decide to hit a new coffee shop. How do you find that coffee shop? Do you:
- Look for a local newspaper with local coffee shop options?
- Ask a passerby on the street?
- Input “coffee shops near me” into your smartphone?
While some of us may ask a passerby for the novelty of it, almost all of us will elect option #3 here. And if you want your small business to be found when someone searches for your goods or services, you need a website too.
The marketplace is more saturated than ever with similar services and goods. Consider the below scenario.
- You’re searching for a service
- You find two similar services
- Service A has a limited website that looks like it was thrown together last minute. It doesn’t look good, and it especially doesn’t look good on your phone.
- Service B has a concise website that succinctly conveys it has the service you’re looking for, and explains what makes Service B unique. It looks great on mobile, and it provides you an easy-to-navigate experience.
Which service would you trust more? Which service are you going to buy from?
The truth is, these transactions happen millions of times across the world every day, and every day, small businesses with poor-quality websites are losing dollars and business to companies that have hired professional web design services for their small businesses.
Small businesses that understand the importance of good web design are winning more business every day, and are leaving companies with poor websites in their digital dust.
Benefits Of Web Design To Small Business
A high-quality website is often your customers’ first touch point with you as a business. It’s your chance to make a good first impression. And when small businesses hire web design services, they trust professionals to provide a positive user experience and help you create a good first impression for your customers.
Websites are also a catalyst for business growth; small businesses often operate on very thin margins and grow slowly. Good web design helps small businesses spread the word about their product or services and grow faster than small businesses without websites.
What Industries Benefit From A Website?
Small businesses that benefit from a website include:
- Restaurants
- Pet shops
- Local entertainment venue
- Plumbing
- Toy shops
- Fashion boutique/clothing store
- Comic book/novelty store
- Roofing
- Massage therapy spas
