FOR BUSINESS OWNERS

Find a useful next step for your company website.

Whether you have a website, rely on social media, or are planning your first site, start with a few practical questions. See the suggestion immediately, without leaving your email.

A PRACTICAL STARTING POINT

Answer from what you know.

No website address or contact details are needed. This self-check uses your choices; it does not scan a website or measure its SEO performance.

“No” and “Not sure” identify points to review, not confirmed defects.

Does your company have its own website?

Choose No if you only use social media, a marketplace listing, or do not have a website yet.

Does your website clearly explain what you offer and who it is for?

Think about a first-time visitor who does not already know your company.

Can a customer comfortably use it on a phone?

Check the text, navigation and main enquiry action on a real phone.

Are the company details and service information current?

Consider contact details, locations, services, products and opening hours where relevant.

Have you recently tested that customers can reach you through the website?

Follow the main contact route and confirm that the message, call or booking reaches the right place.

THE BASICS, ACROSS INDUSTRIES

What a useful company website needs.

A clear offer.

Explain what your company does, who it helps and what a customer can do next. Use your customers’ language rather than internal department names.

Information people can trust.

Use current company details, accurate service descriptions and photographs or project material your business is entitled to publish. Keep one person responsible for updates.

A practical mobile experience.

Read the important pages on a phone. Check whether the text is comfortable, the menu is understandable, and the main contact action is easy to reach.

A working next step.

Test the full route from a customer’s question to the person handling it. An attractive contact button is only useful when the call, message or booking reaches its destination.

Illustrative examples across industries

A clinic may need clear appointment information. A distributor may need well-organised product ranges. A restaurant may need a current menu and location. A consultancy may need a clear explanation of its expertise. The right structure follows the business and its customers.

How to interpret your answers
  • No company website: plan a clear first site that your business owns and can maintain.
  • All four existing-website answers are Yes: keep the foundations and verify performance before making major changes.
  • One No or Not sure: verify that point and consider a focused improvement.
  • Two or more No or Not sure answers: review the experience as a whole before deciding whether a redesign is needed.
