How Can My Small Business Be on the Internet?Greenville Firm Helps Small to Mid-size Upstate Businesses Realize Large Web
Presence.
Greenville, SC (April 15, 2003) The entire world is on the Internet, or at least
it seems that way. Big business seems to dominate this new medium because building
websites takes more time and money than many small businesses have. That is changing,
however.
There has been a shift in the economy toward more practical use of the Internet.
Businesses no longer use their website to show how much “cool” technology they
have; it’s a business communication tool. Now, not having a website is like not
having business cards or other marketing collateral.
What is a small business to do? The days of hiring high-dollar consulting and
design houses are over. And a small to mid-size business can’t afford to keep
a full-time Webmaster on staff, yet they need a website.
More and more small to medium businesses are using firms like Mediasation in
Greenville, SC. Mediasation provides top quality web design and development,
without the high price tag typically associated with web design. How do they
do it?
Simple. Build a creative and quality design and the back-end to support it,
then give businesses the tools to create and maintain their own content. Mediasation’s
CMS (Content Management System), now in it’s third release, empowers businesses
to manage their own website with little or no knowledge of web programming. This
WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor is simple enough for even a child
to use, as is evident by their client Kitty’s Kids, whose volunteer children maintain
some of the site content.
It is important for even the smallest of businesses to have a web presence.
Companies like Mediasation are making that possible by making web sites affordable,
yet not sacrificing any of the visual impact. The Internet is a great equalizer.
It is the same price to any company to be on it, from Fortune 100 companies to
the Mom & Pop shop down the street.
Another way these types of companies are helping small to mid-size businesses
get on the Web is by hosting their sites and saving the companies the burden of
maintaining costly servers and other equipment. For a small monthly fee companies
can have their site hosted and use the Mediasation CMS to maintain their site
content. This can include email accounts, site statistics, and other features.
