Web Design Ireland-3 Key Factors in Building Small Business Websites

Web design in Ireland for small business owners should be impelled by the same factors which dictate great website design for small businesses everywhere.

 

Firstly it is critically important for the business owner to think about what he/she wishes to achieve with their web presence-what are the desired outcomes?

Clearly there will often be a wide gulf between what the small business owner’s needs and the design ideas of a web designer whose focus is necessarily on the design, look and feel of a site.

 

The business owner needs to bring his/her critical entrepreneurial faculties to the process to ensure that he gets a website that will be a real asset and benefit to his business and not a great looking site which fails to deliver the most critical outcome of all-visitors.

 

However your focus should not just be on visitors but on targeted visitors, people who are searching for solutions to their problems or needs and which are congruent with the goods or services of your business.

 

The single biggest mistake I see every day with small business websites is that the site looks great but simply does not deliver any benefit for the small business- a triumph of form over function.

 

Here are 3 critical questions and factors you need to consider when getting a website for your business-

1)   How will I obtain traffic/visitors to my site?

2)   How will I convert this traffic (leads) into customers?

3)   How will I build a relationship with those visitors so that the lifetime value of each lead/customer to my business is grown exponentially?

 

If your website designer/creator can answer these 3 questions to your satisfaction then you have a good basis on which to proceed.

If he can’t answer these questions then step back, think again and hold fire.

 

Gaining website traffic

Getting traffic to your website is not nearly as difficult as you may think.

You may have had a bad experience in the past and your site, if you have one, is not getting sufficient traffic but this does not have to be the case.

 

A good website creator, with a proven and demonstrable track record of generating traffic to websites, will find it relatively easy to advise you as to the best structure and setup of a site to attract traffic in the Irish market and should be able to map out a strategy which will achieve this.

 

Then and only then will your website become a true asset to your business and not one that is only visited by your mother and your spouse/partner to check out the “nice design”.
