What are we offering?

Welcome to the future of your business!

Websites and online stores have become a retail business “must have”

In the 8 years we have been in building websites, there has been an incredible shift in consumer spending. Not only how much is spent, but where it is spent. Online stores have become a retail business “must have” giving customers the ability to buy your products at any time of the day or night, from anywhere in the world.

With busier lifestyles and a more and more people working from home, the ease and convenience of online shopping means it is no longer just big ticket items like airline tickets and holidays that are dominating online sales. Gifts, groceries, cosmetics and other small, low cost items are claiming an ever increasing proportion of the market, yet this huge opportunity is not being fully capitalized on by Australian small businesses.

Tough economic times are also expected to boost the demand for online shopping, as consumers spend more time searching for bargains or other money saving opportunities.

Online shopping - one of the top 10 best performing industries for 2009…

As of mid 2008, there were 11.3 million Australian internet users, 61% of whom regularly bought goods or services online. This means that whenever someone visits your website, the chances are they are a regular online shopper and potential customer for your business.

The good news is that this shopping trend looks likely to continue into 2009 and beyond, with online shopping set to be one of the 10 best performing industries according to IBISWorld Australia.

Another set of numbers are alarming, however - as of late 2008, only 41% of Australian small businesses have websites, with 60% of those performing transactions online (including online banking), and only 30% selling their products or services online.

Essentially this means over 85% of small businesses are failing to take advantage of the fastest growing market in the Australian economy!

What is holding you back?

We believe the following factors go some way to explaining the statistics above:

Perceived difficulties in the setting up and maintenance of an online store
Historically high setup and ongoing costs
Lack of current knowledge on the part of small business owners regarding the size of the market
Previous poor service from web development agencies leading to a lack of confidence in the industry
The perceived risk of credit card fraud
