Why go online?

1. Email Communication
Most business around the world now use email to communicate just as commonly as the telephone. The major benefits are that sending email is free and takes only seconds, as opposed to days/weeks and costing 40p upwards a time. Your email can also be received and sent from anywhere in the world with an internet connection using iMediaDigital's 'webmail anywhere' access service. Using our CGI-Script form option, clients can email your organisation directly from your website.

2. Promotion 24/7
The next most important reason is probably that a website of your own will promote your business or organisation 24 hours every day, seven days each week, and to the whole world. Nothing else offers this flexibility.

Your customers can have a current parts list or delivery schedule or price list for your goods or services at any time, just by looking up the relevant page on your website. Just imagine, one price list alteration and the whole world can see it, instantly. No reprinting expensive catalogues or having to repeat large expensive colour ads in the local press over and over again.

3. To do business online
Direct customers through your website to make credit card transactions. Allow them to view items for purchase on your website, then direct them to a telephone number to make payments over the phone. Alternatively for larger organisations, go for the automated but more costly e-commerce solution, details of which are available on request.

4. To improve your competitive advantage over others
Either way, your business or organisation needs a website to stay ahead of the competition. If a buyer, for instance, wants to buy flowers, and finds two business in the same location, one with a website, and one without, then that buyer is far more likely to spend with the company that has a website.
