Why you don’t currently have a website

Like many small business owners the thought of having a website has crossed your mind, however the realities of running your business sometimes get in the way of getting one done. A decade ago one could have argued that there really was not much need for a small business to have a website. However now that is not the case because most, in fact 86% of Canadians, use the Internet to search for goods and services in their neighborhood. Here is a mock-up example of our single page website that we offer:

Here are some of the top reasons we encounter when first discussing the idea of having a website:

  • “I already have a web page on another website.”
    Being listed on someone else’s site is good, but you are at the mercy of that other website owner and have no control over your message. In most cases your competition is also listed there.
  • “I don’t sell anything online”
    The fact is… most people don’t buy online anyway. They go online to find local businesses and research information before traveling or calling you.
  • “I have a relative or friend who’s into computers. They are going to build me a website.”
    Do they understand Search Engines? Do they know how to create customer driven copy? Is the website designed to get customers to contact you? Who is going to maintain the site when the person disappears? Are they going to host it and maintain the domain registration?
  • “I don’t know anything about computers or the Internet.”
    This is no reason to not put your business in front of 86% of the population. If you are one of the 14% that is not online you are in the minority;
  • “It is too Expensive. I Can’t Afford It!”
    That is why AlignGo has a reasonable price of $29.95 per month, so all businesses can get online and found by their customers. Search Matters!
