These days, almost any small business should have a website. With costs being extremely low at the entry level, it's becoming difficult to imagine a reason for any company of any size not to have a website designed by a website developer.

Low-Cost Advertising
The Web has a far wider reach than any other form of advertising. Your website will be the center of your company's online presence; through it, you advertise your business around the Web on social networking sites, forums and through pay-per-click advertising programs.

Sales
Your website can sell products at any time. Potential customers are not restricted to business hours. Instead, they can go online and purchase products whenever they want. A website with an online shop can provide a dramatic boost in sales.

Accessibility
A website is online and accessible 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Because of this, your customers and potential customers can visit your website for support or information about new and upcoming products and services whenever it is convenient for them.

Visibility
Increasing visibility is one major factor that makes having a website important. Even if people have heard about your company, they may want to carry out research online first.

If you think you’re ready to start benefitting from a website get in touch with Website SA or give us a call on 072 158 4782.

Facebook data row

Facebook data row: Cambridge Analytica academic a 'scapegoat'

In 2014, Facebook invited users to find out their personality type via a quiz developed by Cambridge University researcher called This is Your Digital Life.
About 270,000 users' data was collected, but the app also collected some public data from users' friends.

Facebook has since changed the amount of data developers can gather in this way, the data of about 50 million people was harvested for Cambridge Analytica before the rules on user consent were tightened up.

The Data was sold to Cambridge Analytica - which has no connection with Cambridge University - which then used it to psychologically profile people and deliver pro-Trump material to them.

The firm's chief executive Alexander Nix - who was suspended on Tuesday -was secretly recorded in a Channel 4 investigation saying the London-based company ran Donald Trump's digital campaign during the 2016 US election.

We did all the research, all the data, all the analytics, all the targeting, we ran all the digital campaign, the television campaign and our data informed all the strategy," he added. It had been credited with helping Donald Trump to presidential victory.

Beware facebook info is never exclusive and can be sold without u knowing.

It's not what you say, but how your website says it

It’s not what you say, but how you say it. How often have you heard that phrase? It might be over-familiar, but it’s well-used because it’s true.

Good content is what sets your website apart from the masses and delivers the right message into the hearts and minds of your customers. The success of your website is determined primarily by its content. Ultimately, content wins the wallets of your customers.Design itself does not sell. All other components of your website (design, visuals, videos, etc.) provide a secondary support role. If you have effective taglines, great design will only enhance their effectiveness. . The content of your website should always begin with proper market research.

One huge benefit of outsourcing your copywriting, believe it or not, is that your website content will be written by someone outside of your business. A content writer combines your wealth of knowledge together with that of the general public to ultimatley enhance your website and increase hits through google. We at Website SA assess your business from all perspectives in order to deliver a website that viewers will love and will want to keep coming back to.

Custom made websites vs. template websites

Hundreds of new custom-made and template-based websites are being launched every day. Many business owners are facing the question of whether or not to invest their time and money into a custom-made website. After working with both custom and template-based sites, I can say that for a company to thrive in a competitive market, custom is the way to go.

Of course, working from a template is often cheaper and faster. You can buy it for a very low price, fill it with content and have a brand new site up in a couple of hours. But there's a chance that your next-door neighbour has exactly the same template for an entirely different business. It's hard to make the template look branded when it could belong to another company. You will realise how limited the template features are as soon as you decide to customise it to your needs when your business start growing. It could require more money to add custom features to the template than to build them from the ground up.

Below, are a few benefits of a custom-made website.

Planning Process

Planning is a good exercise that makes you think about your business, goals, customers and prioritisation of content. It helps you identify your unique value proposition and learn about your user groups and the goals they want to achieve on your site.

Unique Look And Feel

A custom site provides a unique identity for your business. You have full control over its look and feel. The design of your site should tell the story behind your business.

Custom Features And Functionality

Another significant benefit of a custom site is the freedom to build virtually any functionality or feature you need. You will have the ability to create a personalised experience for your users. The beauty of a custom site is that it can grow with your business.

Search Engine Optimization

And don't forget about search engine optimization while planning and building your site. Have a marketing person work closely with your design and development teams. Together they will incorporate everything necessary to create a website that will be ready for SEO. This may save you time and money in the long run and give you the opportunity to beat your competition.

Remember, your website is the big part of your business success. You need to give it a strong foundation so it can bring you new clients and grow with your business.
