In a webshop, you can sell physical products, virtual downloadable/viewable products (ebook, course), services (language course, consultancy). On a regular website, there is no online payment and billing (e.g.: you present your construction or cosmetic business, give a quote, make an appointment, etc.).
Simply! I've created 2 needs assessment forms, one for webshops (online sales) and the other one obviously for those who don't want to sell anything online (e.g.: sole traders, companies). Fill in the form that is relevant for you as thoroughly as possible and I'll contact you.
Not compulsory, but strongly recommended. Gather all the basic material that can help you and your business to get to know each other (price list, services, pictures, product list excel, logo), you can upload them in svg pdf or jpg png format. Alternatively, if you have a website that you like (colours, layout, structure), don't keep it to yourself. It can be your competitors or any site. If you are already present with the project somewhere on social media or have an old website, their link/name would also help me a lot.
Yes, I also think it is important to have a face-to-face or video call. However, if you are really serious, please fill out the needs assessment form first. I have taken great care to ensure that the most important questions about the project are answered so that I can give you an accurate quote. In addition, the questions will help you to understand your options and decide on important strategic issues.
You don't have to, it's better to leave it to me. Of course, it helps me a lot if you can give me as much information as possible about your activities, your target group and yourself, so that I can create a more effective website that is more like you.
If one of two providers has a website and the other does not, the majority will automatically go to the one with a website. Your competitor has an advantage from the first moment, because it is transparent, legal and immediately encourages the visitor to take action (request an offer, make a purchase, call, etc.).
In the worst case, they can't find your contact details or don't understand what you're offering, so they won't contact you. In the best case, he will scroll through your Facebook profile and try to piece together from the comments and posts whether you are really reliable and what services/products you offer. Would you choose the uncertain, time-consuming investigation or the time and effort-saving website?
A website conveys trust and professionalism. Your competitor already has an online „shop window” where anyone can view their services, references, presentation, official documents. Reviews and feedback are very powerful psychologically. You, on the other hand, can only be reached by phone or through social media, which is full of scammers - difficult to monitor - and increasingly dangerous these days.
Your competitor's website has all contact details listed, email address, phone number, location, GPS, all community links , answers frequently asked questions, has a request for quote form, is available 0-24. But you can only provide information when you are available.
You look at your competitor's references, portfolio, product launches, blog posts, social media videos, which convinces you of their credibility and professionalism, and you become emotionally attached to them, gaining their trust. You make him feel less like he needs you.
