Before you choose a website package for your business stop and take a moment to see what you’re really getting. Off the shelf website packages and do-it-yourself site builders are usually shortcuts that just end up costing you money and leave you with little to no real support after installation. Our Internet Consultants provide you with the ongoing support and measurement tools needed to ensure your website is working for your business.
Internet Business Plan: Our years of experience in this industry have shown that an effective, profitable Internet Solution is the result of careful planning, informed development and ongoing support. Yes, there are countless companies that are capable of building you a website, but if you’re truly serious about online success for your business then you deserve our total-service approach. We call it the Internet Solutions Lifecycle™, a proven, six-phased development plan that has produced thousands of successful Internet Solutions for businesses of all sizes worldwide.
Your Bottom Line: When all is said and done, your website should not end up costing you anything, it should produce a measurable return on your investment. Our Internet Solutions Lifecycle™ does just that (phase 6, in case you were wondering), something you won’t get with do-it-yourself site builders or standard website packages.
You may have heard of the term “e-Business”. It was coined by IBM to describe using the Internet in some way to improve the operating efficiencies of a business. E-Solutions (or Internet Solutions as we call them) are simply a set of integrated online tools that enable e-Business. This can include customer service functions, document sharing and management, streamlined communications, and of course, online sales. In fact, many common to complex business functions have e-volved to the Internet.
e-Business for any business: Clearly IBM’s concept of e-Business was sound, however their e-Solutions were priced far out of reach of the average business owner. Our Internet Solutions take the same e-Business principle pioneered by IBM and make it accessible to small- and medium-sized businesses worldwide. We do that by leveraging economies of scale created by our production network and our unique distribution channel: our Internet Consultants.
Fish Where the Fish Are: More and more consumers are turning to the Internet as their primary method of research for the products and services they buy everyday. Worldwide online shopping numbers continue to climb year after year, and if consumers can’t find you online, it’s a safe bet they will find your competition. Can you afford to lose that business? It’s an important consideration, and an Internet Solution can help you remain competitive in this changing market. Even the Yellow Pages phone directory people now have a website—they know the writing’s not on the wall, it’s online.
But Wait, There’s More: There are many other benefits to a WSI Internet Solution besides reaching more customers and increasing sales (as if that isn’t enough!) Your Internet Consultant can offer you a wide range of products and services that make doing business easier and more cost-effective, no matter which industry you’re in. From an online restaurant reservation system to a full-service online employment agency and beyond, these are real solutions for real businesses.
Save Time, Save Money: Working with an Internet Consultant will actually cost you less time than if you were to attempt a do-it-yourself website, or tried to figure out how to customize a ready-made package. At the onset, your Internet Consultant will want to spend time with you at your place of business to conduct an Internet Business Analysis™, our patent-pending business evaluation tool. After this question and answer period, your Internet Consultant will have enough information to create a unique Internet Solution proposal for you.
Your Input: As you move forward in the process, you’ll have the opportunity to review customized design concepts and provide the content for your site. This is the fun stuff, and your Internet Consultant will ensure your website’s design is something you’ll be proud to show your customers. Everything else is done by your Internet Consultant and our production facilities until it’s time for you to test the new site. It’s an easy process and your Internet Consultant will always be on hand to offer experienced advice and guidance.
By developing a customized Internet Solution for your business, your Internet Consultant would have identified key areas of opportunity to increase sales and reduce operating costs.
Think of the savings you could achieve by replacing postal mail advertising with a targeted email campaign; replacing your traditional training processes with e-Learning; replacing your printed catalogs with full-color images online that can be updated anytime. These are significant savings you can reinvest in making your business grow.
Introducing new Internet marketing strategies can help you reach more interested customers than you ever thought possible and give you unique ways of always keeping your business fresh in their minds.
This depends on what type of Internet Solution you decide to invest in. Even a smaller-scale customized Internet Solution will help you realize cost savings and can increase sales. Think about what the added revenue generated by a steady stream of new customers to your website alone could mean to your bottom line.
It is not uncommon for business owners to begin with a basic solution and then upgrade over time, adding additional features and expanding on marketing efforts. It’s our goal to develop a long-term business relationship and support you as your needs change and as your business grows.
