Building a Web Site: How Is It Important to your Business? Speaker: Ryan Kelly, GRIP Southeastern Regional Operators Meeting 4:30-5:15 PM January 14, 2010
Why Do I Need a Website? It's one of the most important and most frequently asked questions of the digital business age.
Why Do I Need a Website? You need a website so that customers, potential employees, anyone involved with your business, and even investors can easily find out information about your company.
Why Do I Need a Website? You have one shot at a first impression. With a well designed website, even the smallest company can exude the professionalism of a much larger company.
Why Do I Need a Website? Seven out of ten solo businesses do not have a website. Why not? 80% of all Americans spend more time on the internet than they do watching television. Statistics from USA Today
Why Do I Need a Website? Special pages on your website, like a blog, will help direct web traffic to your site. People using internet search engines to find very specific answers can find them on your blog.
If you have a business, you should have a website. Period. No question. Without a doubt.
What are Social Networks? Networks connect things, whether it is power lines connecting the power plants to your home, or a network of roads connecting Washington DC with Los Angeles. “Social Networks” connect people to people using the internet.
What are Social Networks? You’ve probably heard of websites like Myspace, Facebook, or Twitter, even if you don’t know exactly what they do. Their purpose is to allow people, bands, and even businesses to connect with anyone they want to.
Why Do I Need to be Part of a Social Network? People talk, and by making these social connections, they could be talking about you! This is a further way to have people discover your business and direct them to your website.
