What a website can do for you
- Free up manpower
Do you spend time on the phone repeating the same things? "When are you open?" "How do I find you?" A website will answer those questions for you, and attract more custom. - Open all hours
Think of a website as a 24 hour information point that can be used by everyone from your neighbours to tourists planning a visit to the UK - and viewed when it suits them best. - Goes further than an advert
If you list your website on all your stationery - from brochures to business cards - prospective customers will know where to find more information, quickly and easily. It could mean that they choose you above anyone else - because they can see examples of your work and find the facts they need. - Gives you the advantage
According to Yell.com, a priority listing with a website link is four times more likely to be viewed than a normal listing.
Small Business:
If you run a small business and customers come to you, for example you have a cafe, restaurant, shop or other venue, you can use a website to:- Provide directions so people can easily find you
- Quote your opening hours
- Publicise events or special offers
- Provide your wine list or menu (it's easy to update, too!)
- Show off your guidebook listings and awards
- Show photos of your venue full of happy customers
- Take bookings or advance orders
Self Employed:
If you are self-employed and visit your customers, for example you are a plumber, handyman or locksmith, you can use a website to:- Display your catchment area
- Provide details of call-out charges and rates
- Show photos of examples of your work
- Display testimonies from satisfied customers
- Show your qualifications and trade association memberships
- Provide quick and easy ways for new customers to contact you
Local Group:
If you run a group or committee, for example a residents' association, coffee morning group or a local club, you can use a website to:- Describe what you do and who you cater for
- Show which areas are included
- Let people know when meetings happen
- Keep people up to date with online newsletters
- Give out contact information
- Offer membership forms which can be completed online
- Accept donations direct to a bank account
"We are really delighted with our new website. Flash was extremely fast, friendly and helpful all the way through the process and went to great lengths to get the website just as we wanted. As complete novices to the world of website design, we were grateful to have a person who made the task run so smoothly.
Thank you very much!"

"Thank you so much for all your hard work on my behalf; you very quickly grasped the image I wanted to portray. I am really pleased with the website that was delivered earlier than I expected and on budget. Your extensive knowledge of websites and the legislation that affects them is impressive and led to a level of detail that I was not expecting. I literally could not have done it without you. It has been a real pleasure working with Web Design & Mastery."
