NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO BE ONLINE.


Since the terrorist attacks of  September 11, 2001 (9-11), the American public has certainly been changed. Our certainty of security is damaged but not destroyed. As our nation rebuilds its confidence again in industries such as travel and entertainment, the American public is now spending more time online.

In the holiday season for 2001, there was less traveling and shopping. The uneasiness of retaliation while we were at war with terrorists had consumers thinking twice and being more cautious than ever.

YOUR ADVANTAGE
If you are a small business owner or offer a service, being online can certainly increase your chances of surviving not only the waning economy, but survive the war on terrorism and it's affects on our economy. Let's face it, our economy and the way we do business has changed.

Certain "niche" sites will now have a better chance of being seen as more people come online in the comfort and safety of their own home. With entertainment giants like, ABC, NBC, CBS, and Mtv reporting lowering ratings this season, it should also be noted that on "lame TV nights" when there is nothing on television, people are turning to their computers and going online (can we say Youtube???) Again, this will give businesses with online service an advantage.

Another advantage to your business being online is the fallout of the dot-com companies who died in the trend of capital ventures late 2000 and early 2001. Thousands of common domain names are now available if not gone as to not compete with your business, thus giving you a better chance of exposure.

BOTTOM LINE
If you already have a business with a web site, make sure the web site is ready to handle more communication and service. Regardless of how attractive your content is, if you do not communicate and back your product with excellent personal service, you WILL fail online!

If you have a solid "brick and mortar" business and are looking to go online with your services, be discerning! It was only a year ago when design firms and internet service providers were charging outrageous prices for building a simple web site. Do not be over-charged because of technical ignorance!

The sole purpose of P.L. Ruth Web Design is to give you an excellent web site at an excellent price. Our pricing is competitive and backed by experience....and more importantly with great personal service.

Great businesses are not made on promises. Great businesses are made on good product and excellent service. We challenge you to do the same. God bless America!
