The Basic Website
Through experience, Grayworld Media has learned that many small businesses are just looking for a basic web presence. They need a site to stay competitive, provide a more professional appearance, reach a larger audience and keep up to date with current businesses trends.
These same businesses are not ready to make a huge commitment in time or money right away until they get more familiar with the online terrain or have the necessary resources.
Grayworld Media recognizes these needs and in response has come up with a starter package that provides what we feel is the basic requirements for a professional looking and functional web site.
Addressing Your Visitors Needs
The most important thing to remember is that people come to your site to get information. Through years of experience we have learned that there is a minimum that a site needs to be considered functional.
Most potential customers come to a site initially for some very specific reasons. These reasons need to be addressed in your site. They are:
- To find out more about you.
- To find out more about your products or services
- To get contact information about you
By providing these basic items of information in an easy to navigate web site, you will be creating a professional and functional experience for your online visitors.
About the Site
Your custom website will address you and your visitor’s needs by having a professional custom design, consistent and standardized navigation on every page, an email web form and the basic information that most Internet visitors are looking for.
