The Incredibly Important Client Encourager
Web presence is essential. According to an extensive Review of Pan-European Online Activity, the UK has:

 “the most active online population, with the highest average number of daily visitors (21.8 million), the highest usage days per month (21 per user), and the highest average time spent per month per user (34.4 hours).”*

That’s a massive audience you cannot afford to miss – but if your current website isn’t quite up to scratch or you don’t have a website, you’re missing out on potential clients everyday.

But so what? Especially if you already reach people with Directory Listings and advertising? Listings and advertising point people to you, and a few of them may buy, but what about the rest who want to see what they are potentially getting? Who want more information before they make the decision to approach you?

Seth Godin, former Vice President of Direct Marketing for Yahoo, author of seven best sellers and founder of Squidoo.com believes that …

“…when you go online, you don’t search. You don’t even find. Instead you are usually on a quest to make sense. That’s the goal of most visits to Google or Yahoo! or blogs or the Wikipedia. How do you make sense of the noise that’s coming at you from all directions? You won’t take action – you won’t buy something, book something, hire someone, or take a position on a political issue – until you’ve made sense of your options.”
Everyone’s an Expert (About Something), The Search for Meaning Online, Seth Godin, 2005.

So advertising and listings get people interested and point to your website, your website provides the information required to help them ‘make sense’ of what you offer, and encourages them to seriously consider buying into what you offer.

Making Your Website Work

As the first substantial point of contact for your potential clients, website design and ‘user friendliness’ are essential to allow them to navigate the site and find out if your product or service is what they really want.

The  copy (words written on your site) should also be carefully constructed for potential clients, so that it gives the most useful information and encourages the act of buying into your work.

So now is the time to get a website if you don’t have one, or freshen up your site  if it’s already online.

Whatever stage you’re at, from complete beginner to well-established, Artsphere can take you to the next level. This, combined with our extensive knowledge of Creative Arts in the UK, means you can be sure that your website will inform and encourage potential clients to become established clients.

From Knowing Nothing to Knowing Most Things
You may be looking for advice about your web strategy and site, or may already know what you want.

You may need to create a brand identity, or incorporate your current logo and branding into the design.

You may want to manage the content of your site easily without having to wait for someone else to do it for you, or add a shop to sell your products.

You may want a website hosting service, or to transfer your current hosting service.

You may just need to update and refresh your current site.
