What exactly is a web site ?
answer :
Think of a web site as a yellow page ad, only it's interactive and three dimensional.
It's your company's virtual storefront with your goods and/or services available, not just to your area,
but to the entire world. Your virtual storefront is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a week, allowing your
customers and potential customers access to your business information even when your physical store is closed.

Why should i have a web site built today ?
answer :
Because the Internet is growing so fast, if you jump on now you will be able to grab and hold a large
market share in your business before your competition does. Furthermore, domain names (custom web site addresses,
like: www.yourcompanyname.com) are similar to custom 1-800 numbers that spell out your company name, in the fact
that all the good ones are already gone or could be gone by the time your business gets on the Internet.
One hundred thousand domains go every month! The longer you wait to put your business on the Internet the tougher
your competition gets in your type of business, thus it becomes more difficult to distinguish your company from all
the others.

How will my company benefit from having an internet presence ?
answer :
There are several reasons why your company will benefit from having an Internet Presence.
1. You can sell your goods or services from your site. Usually web surfers are well-educated, prosperous people, intrigued by the convenience and the time saved by shopping via the internet. Only a quarter of the U.S. population has earned a college degree, while 51 percent of all Web users have college degrees. According to a recent study of 50,000 American households, 10 million PC users shopped online during the first quarter of 1998, compared with 3.7 million the year before.
2. A web site also offers excellent networking capabilities. If you pass out your business cards locally, then consider your web site as a business card you can pass out globally.
3. Save on printing and shipping charges by offering prospective customers instant access to catalogs, on-line ordering, product information, graphics, tables, and charts directly from your site.
4. Save additional time and money when changes are to be made to your business information. With a web site, changes can be made instantly.
5. Save money on long distance telephone calls by corresponding with your customers via e-mail.
6. Get customer feedback on your service, goods or site by providing a feedback form which is e-mailed to you instantly.
7. Tired of answering the same customer questions over and over ? Want to give your telephone operator a break ? By providing a frequently answered question page (similar to this one) on your site, your customers will know the answers to their questions before they deal with you.
8. Is your business small? By establishing an Internet presence, you can give your small business a big business look and compete right along with those big businesses!
