Yep, the internet has changed our way of doing business and it’s not going to change back anytime soon. The fact that nearly 90% of Canadians use the internet (CIRA Source: ITU 2016) to help them make their purchasing decisions should be reason enough to consider having a website presence for your small business.
While billions of people use social media these days, and it is important to have a presence on the pertinent platforms, it will still be important in 2019 to have a professional business website. With a website you can control the content and how and when you want to connect with customers as opposed to the fast-timed climate of social media where your content is forever changing. Not only that, a website will help to legitimize your business and credibility – an excellent low-cost marketing tool 24/7.
All of these platforms offer many ways to interact on a personal basis with past, present and potential clients and customers. Whether you’re interested in getting your business online and need a brand new site, or if you already have one but are curious about the advantages of converting to a WordPress powered platform, we can help.
