First, it gives you another outlet of giving information, saving you
from needing to repeat answers to the same questions to every customer.
Second, it gives you needed name recognition. Customers searching
for businesses like yours will find your name in
the mix, recognize it, and remember it. Really name recognition is about
making your potential and current customers/patrons more comfortable and
knowledgeable of all the services or products you provide. You also are showcasing your business
as caring about what you do. It shows professionalism. It shows customers
you are serious about doing your work right, and encourages them to do
business with you.
And third, it provides a whole world of opportunities marketing your
business to a much wider demographic. For example, someone who lives
40 miles away from you may likely not have your local phone book or yellow
pages. It goes without saying
that more and more people are getting online to find businesses that
will cater to their needs.
- How expensive will this be?
- How beneficial will this be?
- Is it safe to post information on the Internet?
While these are all good questions, there are simple and good answers
to each of these.

What you pay Selah Studio for is a one-time fee to create a design that will best portray your business. We then take this website design and we publish it into your website domain online. We provide no-obligation free price quotes using the link (see left) because website projects have the potential in being dramatically different in work-load than another. Generally a website design will be priced between $500 and $2,500. For those with limited budgets, you may specify a budget number right in the price quote form. Truthfully the question should be, what price is it not worth. Use the link above and to the left to request your free price quote.
#2, Books have been written on all the benefits to having a website for each and every business type. There is not enough time to go into all the benefits in having a website, though some are explained above. Let me recap some of the benefits quickly.
Having a website:
- Increases the geographic boundaries which you market your business;
- Increases the demographic which you market your business;
- Relays information more comprehensively than most means of marketing (Ie. Brochures, Flyers, Posters, etc.) showcasing what you do in text and in images;
- Shows professionalism and makes customers/patrons comfortable with your business; and
- Creates name recognition.
#3, The safety in having a website is completely dependent on what information you put on the website. If you are not posting sensitive information such as social security numbers, credit card numbers, passwords, or other private information on your website, you are secure. Generally our customers have been surprisingly reluctant to publish more common-knowledge information online such as a mailing address. In most cases for a regular business, posting an address is far from dangerous. Selah Studio values your security highly and will work with you on deciding what information is right to publish and what is not.
For those of you who are interested in selling online (E-commerce), a secured server is set up in those instances that encrypts the information being transferred through your website.
