eLeaflets

An eLeaflet is the simplest and cheapest type of web site consisting of a single page, professionally designed, including text, graphics and pictures. Animations and 'Flash' banners can be included.

This type of site is recommended for businesses selling a single service, such as home cleaning, party entertainment, child minding and the like. For these simple businesses, such a one page site with good description of what you do, an explanation of why your service is the best, clean and uncluttered looking layout, pictures where appropriate and a send email button so that visitors can make enquiries on-line, would be ideal.

If you sell a range of products which you cannot sell on-line (such as kitchen design and installation service, bespoke furniture manufacture and the like) we recommend that you opt for an eBrochure style site. If you offer a small or large range of goods that can be sold on-line (such as books, clothing, small electrical goods, etc.) then we recommend an eShop type site.

Don't skimp to save money. Better to wait until you can afford the correct type of site for your business than choose an unsuitable site. You will only be disappointed and will miss out on what can be achieved. For example, if your business can sell on-line and would suit an eShop style site, where your customers can choose and buy your products instantly on-line, then choose that type of site even though it is more expensive. If you don't your potential customers will ignore your site and buy from a site that does allow them to buy instantly on line.
