A website is now an integral part of a small business. Michael Dell, who founded the Dell Corporation, was quoted as saying, “Show me a business that’s not on the Internet, and I’ll show you a business that’s out of touch with the future.”

Dell is right on the money with this analysis.  Any business without a website today is like a business without a telephone 30 years ago.  Today people expect all businesses to have a website.   Typically they may use a search engine like Google, Yahoo or Bing to find a company when seeking information about the products and services that local businesses offer.

If you have a web designer that is knowledgeable of  (SEO) Search Engine Optimization and adding your business to local search maps you can increase your business exposure to customers that have never heard of you.

For most people searching for a company and services this is often their first stop in seeking information about products and services offered by you.  If they don’t find a website they may well choose another company.

Still not sure if you can afford the cost to invest in a professional website today? We understand exactly how you feel! In fact, others have initially had the same concerns as you do. What many of these people discovered though, was that in today’s electronic world, they couldn’t afford not to make their business presence known on the internet. When considering the cost of a website, there are a few facts to keep in mind.

• Most busy households, now turn to the internet when they are searching for a product or service, far more rapidly than the yellow pages. Can your business afford not to be listed? Many people have found that the initial cost of a website can be far less than the cost to their business not having a website!
• The cost of investing in a professional website is comparable to advertising in periodicals. In fact, it is less expensive than the cost of a single advertisement in most metropolitan newspapers!
• A professional business website reaches a worldwide audience, and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year!

Just because it’s expensive, doesn’t make it good…….. or worth it.
Recently I was have having a conversation with a friend about a local website that we were looking through.  My friend told me that the owner of this particular business (I won’t mention the name)  just paid a small fortune to have their website refurbished and it was going to be great as soon as it was finished. She said it was going to be high tech and really cool.  I asked when that was going to happen. She said that they hired the company a few months ago so it should be soon.  Here is where I question this mentality.  Not that my friend is not business savvy, but when did expensive and waiting a long time for delivery become the standard for business?  As a business owner, and a client to other businesses, my expectation is that I will get what I pay for, and I will get it in a reasonable amount of time.  It’s like those people in a restaurant that order the most expensive thing on the menu because it has to be good if it costs the most right?  Or the person that drinks Cristal champagne at $300/$400 a bottle because that’s what the Hollywood stars drink.  Personally, I think it tastes like……. well I won’t say it here, but you get the idea.

I guess what I’m trying to say is that we are in the web design business and we have many small family owned businesses as clients.  We don’t charge a fortune even though we could.  We give great service for affordable prices with a fast turn around time so remember, more doesn’t always mean better…………

Steve Jobs has said he has a big announcement at the Apple WWDC (Worldwide Developers Conference) 2010 is scheduled for June 7-11.

Some have said one of the  announcements could be the introduction of an iPhone for Verizon.

Verizon customers have clearly indicated they won’t leave their network for the iPhone offered at AT&T.  Since Verizon is the largest provider of cellular services, Apple could make gobs of money by offering the iPhone there, too.

“The benefits of selling the iPhone at Verizon so completely outweigh every single hurdle that there is simply no way Apple can continue its AT&T exclusive for much longer.”

Keep your fingers crossed and mark the date June 7th for the announcement.
