Need a TRADE website?
Updated: 4 days ago
Do any of these statements apply to you ...
You don't have a website yet and don't know where to start
Your website looks 'dated'
Your website doesn't properly explain what you do
You are embarrassed to send customers to your website
Your business has grown but your website hasn't
If you replied YES to any of the above STATEMENTS, below are 8 GOOD REASONS WHY your business should have a quality trade website ...
1 Branding
A website completes your branding:
Business card
Signed vehicle
Identifiable work shirt
Website
2 Business details
Potential customers want to see your business details before they call you, for example:
ABN
QBCC Licence
3 An advantage over your competitors
A high-quality, professionally designed trade website can give your business an immediate advantage over competitors who may have a poorly presented website (or no website at all). It also helps create a stronger first impression and can give potential customers greater confidence in choosing your business.
4 First impression
Your trade website needs to reflect the same level of professionalism you bring to your work. For customers inviting you into their home or property, your website can help shape their first impression and build confidence in your services. A poorly presented website may leave potential customers questioning the quality, attention to detail and care they can expect from your workmanship.
5 Showcase examples of your work
Images are an important part of a website to showcase examples of your previous work while visually communicating the quality and professionalism of your business. Carefully selected images can also present you, your team and your work in a professional and credible way.
6 Shows customers you are still in business
A contemporary website provides customers confidence that your business is active, established and continuing to operate successfully.
7 Missed opportunities
Your work vehicle signage is a valuable form of advertising, helping potential customers recognise and remember your business. However, they are unlikely to remember your phone number after your vehicle is out of sight. A website gives them an easy way to find your business later, helping turn that initial exposure into a potential enquiry rather than a missed opportunity!
8 Current website not mobile friendly
If you already have a website, it is important that it is mobile-friendly and optimised for different screen sizes. Google considers mobile usability when evaluating websites, so a site that is difficult to view or navigate on a smartphone can negatively affect its search performance.
A mobile-friendly website should automatically adjust to the screen, allowing visitors to read content and navigate easily without constantly zooming, resizing or moving the page around.
