> Do I need a website?
> Why don't I build it myself?
Any business, whether it is a global corporation or a local restaurant, can benefit from having a presence on the internet. A website immediately makes your business accessible to the global market in a way that seemed unthinkable only a few years ago. Your business can be only a mouse click away from several hundred million potential customers*.
Well, for the same reason that most people don't make their own clothes. Building a website is relatively easy. Building a good website -- one that works, that looks good, that is designed to help get higher rankings in search engines like Google, that can integrate with your customer database, that can handle ecommerce and online trading... that's quite a bit harder, and requires a specialist set of skills. At Nova - I.T. we combine an artist's eye and acute technical know-how to create attractive, easy-to-navigate web sites where a simple user interface conceals the complex information architecture beneath.
Your website is your shop window, your business representative for when you can't be there in person, and you want it to be as good as it can be. Nobody sticks around on a confusing, badly designed business website. Good web design is an investment in your business, not an expense.
