* What actions you want your visitors to perform?
* What are the secondary tasks that you want your website to do?
* Will exist customers be using your site?

Advantages of Creating a Website for your Business:

A website provides your company history. You can include the date your company was formed, some pictures, achievements and important milestones. This will position you in the minds of visitors as a well-established company that can be trusted.

A website can be viewed at leisure. This is one of the biggest advantages that Internet advertising has over other media. It allows unlimited time for a reader to explore your company and its products. Once visitors locate your website, they can investigate it at their leisure. Be sure to post everything your business does in an attractive and promotional way.

A website advertises 24 by 7, 365. This makes it possible to keep your readers updated with the latest information about your business-new products and new services.

A website can cross geographical boundaries. Unlike a local advertisement that might reach just a few thousand viewers, a website will enable people from all over the world to look at your products. This way, you can get orders from outside your city, state, and even country. This will enable you to expand your business. You will only need to get your logistics in proper order so you can be prepared to deliver the products to your customers when the number of orders inevitably increases.

A website can attract new suppliers. Your website will not only be seen by customers, but also by suppliers who might request that you sell their products or even same products at lower prices, which gives your small business the opportunity to expand. Usually, if you add new suppliers, you will be able to offer your customers more variety and possibly lower prices.
