Too many websites are poorly designed, unhelpful to their
users and difficult or expensive for them to update. Many are poorly promoted
and many have been expensive to buy and don't produce results. Modern technology
means that from
just £50 per annum you can have your website professionally updated and
managed. Initial design can cost only £75. We can even build in advertising
revenue for you. See the sample B&B
website in the index on the left. Hosting costs about £25 per annum. Allow £16.95 for your own co.uk web address. If starting from
scratch allow about £110/120.
A website should earn you money, not cost you money. Many websites fall down
at the very point where someone's interest is just about to become a sale.
At that point they find that they cannot book on-line and, even more
annoying, they send an email which is ignored for days at a time. These days an
ever growing number of customers will ignore any site which does not allow an
instant purchase or booking to be made.
Ecommerce can help with the former problem, but only you can ensure you
check your email daily. However, the very discipline which Ecommerce will
require from you will help you avoid that second problem.
