Using the web for business

Planning internet business

Business focused web site analysis

The web4business is a service which analyses your website with the objective of improving its business effectiveness and delivering a return on your investment.

We work with you to understand the aims and objectives of your business. We then review your site to ensure that it not only fully supports your business objectives, but also forms an integral, key part of your companies marketing, order handling and customer service functions.

Our approach is different in that we look at the design and features of a website purely in terms of supporting and growing your business.

ECommerce, EProcurement, Developing online communities

ECommerce

ECommerce is all about selling products and services to your customers from your website. Whether you are looking to improve sales through your site or create an online catalogue for your products we can advise and assist. As part of the web4business service we can:

Select a suitable online catalogue product which can be integrated into your existing website.
Advise on how you can improve online sales.
Advise on how your can improve the current online buying experience offered by your website.

E-procurement

E-procurement. Since the publication of Sir Peter Gershon’s 2004 review of public sector efficiency, there has been considerable focus on the use of e-procurement techniques within local and regional councils and other public sector organisations.

If you are a local or regional council and need to implement e-procurement we can provide project management, advice and guidance.

Our approach involves reviewing your current procurement system and also managing e-procurement roll out programmes with your key suppliers.

Developing online communities

Knowing and understanding the needs of your customers is crucial to the success of your business. Companies and organisations are encouraging their customers and potential customers to exchange views and opinions about their likes and dislikes and make suggestions for new products, for example.

The development of such online communities interested in particular topics or products is becoming more and more commonplace on the web.

We can advise on how to set up, manage and encourage participation in such communities so you can get closer to your customers and their needs.
