Why Your Business Needs a Website?

Your website is one of the most important assets of your business. It is almost impossible to thrive in the market without a web presence. Having a solid website gives your business credibility and an opportunity to convey why your customers should consider you. Here are a few reasons why you need an online presence in a digital first era:

It gives your business credibility: Most customers are influenced when making purchases. Including reviews and testimonials on your site will solidify and impress potential buyers.
Showcase your products/services: The imagery on a website helps elevate and tell your story. Quality images and videos showing and explaining what you have to offer will help sell.
Give your visitors calls-to-action: Think about the one action you want a potential customer or client to take on your website. Download an eBook? Sign up for a free consultation? Guide users to a compelling call-to-action, and convert them to customers.

How Much Does a Website Cost?

An awesome website comes with a cost. Designing a website on your own is the cheapest route ranging around a few hundred dollars to a thousand. The next level up would be to hire a freelancer, which would range around $2,000 to $5,000 in cost. A custom website developed by an agency can range anywhere from $5,000 to $15,000. As you would expect, hiring an agency costs the most, but you get so much more value, options and expertise.

With hiring an agency, the amount of strategic planning that goes into designing and building a high performing, lead generating website outweighs the DIY or freelance route. We have the resources and tools needed to build you a fully customizable website that will become a valuable asset to your business.

Content on your website is one of the most important parts of your website. An agency focuses on crafting your messaging to attract and educate visitors, which will turn into paying customers.

Evaluate your budget and timeline. It is well worth the investment to hire an agency to build your website. IAM brings years of experience in web design and development, always staying on top of the latest design trends.

Once you decide to hire InnerAction Media, we will take you through our process to ensure the best outcome for your newly built or redesigned website.

Initial Meeting

In our first meeting, you will sit down with our leadership team, project manager and web designer/developer to discuss the following for our website design services:

Your business' goals and objectives
The essential items we will need to develop your website
A few examples of websites you enjoy. (We like to get a feel for the elements of a site you like and dislike.)
Elements you are looking for in a website
Pages that will make up your website such as a home, about us, services, contact us and more

From here, we will review our notes and research competitors in the industry. This will translate into a mockup design to present to you, our client.

We understand that you might have many questions at this stage. That's why we've developed this article that discusses the top three questions we get from our clients.

SEO Optimization of your site is an important step in the process. We consider your page titles, meta descriptions, keywords, alt tags and more.
