There is a wealth of media and press coverage that the web has changed the face
of today’s business environment and we consistently see how businesses are making
more money by ‘opening up a web arm to their businesses’. However, many of the businesses
we speak with have simply not benefited from ‘the internet age’ and more bluntly,
have not shown any profits from the web, despite having a website. The clear learning
from this is that having a web presence is not enough. One has to have a credible,
reliable and professional website, with a range of high-performance tools to generate
interest and attract customers – i.e. a web business.
Because of this, Meyerov says “So we sat down one day and outlined all of the ‘ingredients’
that we felt small businesses would need in order to be successful on the web, whether
they needed a professional site presenting their company and the services they offer,
or whether they wanted to sell their products online. We also covered all the ‘add-ons’
that these businesses might need, such as forums, blogs, RSS feeds, newsletters
and extranets, etc, and we then went about building a system which would automate
the entire process, in a framework that they could afford, which would also deliver
business results”.
“We wanted to allow all small businesses to be able to embrace the web. Businesses
are able to use our system and build a 100% free website with full ecommerce functionality
(albeit with a limited feature set), but for $19.99 per month, we provide small
businesses with the ability to create stunning, professional and credible websites,
including ecommerce and full product management, along with a full suite of tools
and services to market their offering and drive customers to their site. We also
support this activity by including them in our various shopping, auction and tradelead
marketplaces for free, and we constantly promote the overall system out to the marketplace,
with each of our members benefiting from our marketing campaign”.
“Small businesses are simply unwilling or unable to spend thousands of dollars building
a website, with thousands more on monthly marketing. We created OnlyBusiness.com
to offer full business solutions that would normally cost these small businesses
tens of thousands of dollars and massive amounts of time and skill to organize and
manage. For example, a company who wants to sell online, needs a front-end website,
an ecommerce backend, a secure server, merchant processor, reliable host, as well
as payment to marketing companies, paid listings in auction sites and tradelead
sites, etc. All these things take time and money to produce. OnlyBusiness.com offers
one solution which covers everything. We have done the vast majority of the work
for them”.
For the front-end look-and-feel, OnlyBusiness.com took the approach to quality and
credibility which our competition simply does not offer: We created each base site
design as if we were building a high-end website for a client who was paying thousands
of dollars. Non-technical members can then select any of these site designs, customize
as required, and add all of their branding, content, web tools and products through
a ‘point-and-click’ and ‘drag-and-drop’ process which is extremely easy-to-use.
We also built an advanced ‘designer module’ which would allow any professional web
designer to upload a custom design which would simple ‘plug in’ to our entire backend
system. That way, they can create an entire custom website design from scratch and
use all of the OnlyBusiness.com system tools, features and functions to power their
custom-designed website for them and/or their clients.
As part of our commercial solution offered to members, OnlyBusiness.com also provides
free web hosting, free Security Certification, free web domain and free email services.
We also offer a host of other optional services (e.g. logo and stationery design,
Payment Gateway services, stock image purchasing services, etc) that our members
can utilize if they need/want to. We provide these through premium partners in a
manner that most of our members would not have the time, knowledge or resource to
be able to access, where they can now enjoy these great benefits by being part of
our network. One example of this is that, a member paying $19.99 per month gets
their feature-rich ecommerce website, with free web hosting, on our servers at ‘Rackspace’
(one of the best web hosting companies in the world). Typically, they would often
be paying more just for the hosting component than they would for having their entire
web solution with OnlyBusiness.com.
With their new websites on OnlyBusiness.com, members are winning new customers and
building better relationships with current customers, and as a result, are making
more money through the ‘web arm’ to their business. OnlyBusiness.com is making the
difference in small businesses being able to create a thriving and comprehensive
online strategy, and becoming financially successful on the web. |
