Your website is the window to your business world. It’s your portfolio, a point of purchase, a space for content, connection, and conversions.
So the bottom line is if your website is bad – you’re missing sales.
Businesses large and small are all doing the most to ensure that their website is fast, effective, and a dream to use. Something worth keeping in mind is that even companies with billions behind them can have a website that is awful to use. Working with website design services will give you what you need.
So why does your website matter? Apart from being a shop window – what does it bring?

Authenticity
Your current customers and those who find your site (because you have great SEO) will learn a lot about your company very quickly. They are looking for a reason to trust you. Your website is a direct reflection of you and your company.
Everything from your Facebook bio to the About page on your website will create a cohesive experience with the same tone of voice.
An authentic experience should be the goal for your website.
Representation
Do you have time to personally introduce people to your products and service one by one? No. but with a website, you can welcome, inform and introduce millions of people to who you are, what you do, and how they can buy it in seconds.
While the user is doing all of the hard work by finding your website and navigating it, your website gives them everything they need.
Your website represents you and what you do without you needing to say a single word.
Easy
Not everyone has the luxury of browsing around a store for hours. Social anxiety, chronic illness, lack of transport, lack of time… there is an endless list of reasons that some of your customers simply can’t get to a land-based store.
What most, if not all, will be able to do is spend hours browsing your website. They can look through your details, read your terms and conditions, look for your other products, and soak it all up – from the comfort of their home.
A website makes the shopping experience as easy as possible – and that cannot be taken for granted.
Brand recognition
Your company’s website is the most powerful expression of your brand, from content and design to user experience. Your website communicates your narrative, presents your items, and gives several chances for buyers to interact with you at various times along the purchase process.
Customers identify good encounters with your brand when providing an exciting and pleasurable online experience.
And finally, one that might not need an entire section is that your website will keep you competitive with other brands both locally and globally. A website allows you to do business on a global level in a way that a brick-and-mortar store just doesn’t.
Your website matters in more ways than you might think, but one this is for sure. You need one. Once you have your website, now what? How To Run A Successful Business Website | Mike McRitchie | “Ageproof” Career.
