Before you go ahead with your decision to redesign your current website, it is time to analyze your current website to figure out what exactly is lacking in your website. Is it the unattractive design that is failing to catch the attention of your customers or is it the difficulty to navigate that is serving as an impediment.

Probably it is time to identify what your website is truly lacking that has made it easy for the competitor website to capture the market share. Have you looked into the fact that while your competitor is constantly updating the website content and adding to it, you are not paying due attention to it. Whatever the reason it is time to identify it so you may not rush to the redesigning process or even worse repeat the same mistake in your new website design.

As professionals of the field we widely distribute businesses into two main categories depending whether their website is merely meant to provide information to the customers or is it actually generating direct revenue for the business. Let’s have a look
Information Providers
Even businesses that do not provide online products/services are choosing to opt for website that can allow them to reach out to their customers and quench their thirst for information. Though these don’t engage in online business yet these have realized the power of online presence and use the online platform to boost awareness about their products/services.
Through this information these businesses successfully establish themselves as expert on the subject and raise curiosity in the customers about their products/services. Since these are pure information based these use all possible means available to provide information and communicate their message to their customers including content, images, audio/video, guides and manuals. Similarly, these may also encourage their customers to ask for further information or leave their messages.
Online Businesses
These are the businesses that use the online platform to involve in sales and therefore, generate revenue through their websites. Since the customers buy from their website these websites provide for transactions and have transactional tools such as user registration accounts, ecommerce transactions and at times the modern CRM tools.
At DhammaTech, we suggest our customers to gradually progress from being an information provider to online business as this helps them achieve customer trust and to be perceived as authority by their customers before they actually invest in the online business platform. DhammaTech encourages its customers and provide them with expertise and guidance to redesign these into successful online businesses.
