To start off with, decide on why you want or need a website.
Did you know?
In Malaysia, as of January 2022, there were 29.55 million internet users.
Of those 29.55 million internet users, 44.3% are said to be in the 25 to 54 age group.
Based on the statistic that 80% of consumers research online before buying a product or engaging a service, that would roughly be 13 million users that you could potentially be reaching out to with a website.
And that’s only based on internet users in Malaysia!
What if you could reach out to the entire world?
If you are a business, a website represents your company on the internet.
It will have information about your business and details of the products or services that you offer.
On the other hand, if the intention is to sell products on the internet, then you need an e-commerce website.
This type of website caters for display of product images, details, pricing as well as shipping information.
Or perhaps you just want to share information, like we are doing here on Bijak Bestari.
Reaching out to your customers
In the age of the internet, or digital era, if you do not have a website then you are limiting your sphere of contact and influence to just people you come into contact with.
A website promotes your business to potential customers who are looking for the products or services that you offer.
The best part of having a website is that it is accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime.
In summary
Malaysia has 29.55 million internet users, with 44.3% in the 25 to 54 age group.
80% of consumers research online before buying.
A website can represent a business, while an e-commerce website can display product images, details, pricing, shipping information, enabling a customer to purchase one or more of your products.
And that’s on a 24x7x365 availability!
