When I moved to Hertford I needed to move my local doctors so I Googled it and found only one GPs with a website, I called them and then registered there, and that's true for most businesses most people look online for a service or product now, if you can't be found you're losing money - one golden rule of business is don't lose money!
Great news though you don't have to spend thousands to get online today you can do it for free and here's how, an organisation called Getting British Business Online are supplying free domain names and in association with Google and other partners, using Google Sites to give you a free site, it's really simple so don't be daunted at the thought of building a website, as if you can use a simple word processor then you can build your site and if you need help there is help available too with online training.
Remember though with your first site keep it simple don't go over board with different fonts font sizes and colours and keep it to your branding. Also add some pictures too.
In the next blog post I'll cover some great tips for marketing online for free!
To Your Success
