Benefits for Businesses

With at least 41 million people in the UK online there has never been a better time for small businesses to get online with their first website.

A website is a great way of attracting new customers or engaging with existing ones, but many businesses aren't online yet because they think its either too costly, too complicated, not necessary, or often all three!

To simplify the process of getting online with their first website WSI will walk you through the process at a face to face seminar which will allow small businesses to get online quickly, easily and for free. For those who are already online, we've got tolls and information to help you get even more from your website.

For businesses without a website

Everything a business needs to get online, for free.

1. A free website address: Choose from any available '.co.uk' website address. If the address is already taken, we'll suggest available alternatives
2. A free customised website: Complete a short online form and we'll create a customised, professional looking website, tailored to your business type
3. Free marketing: All sites created will be indexed by Google, enabling users to easily and quickly find businesses online

For businesses with a website

Access to tools and web experts. We will help you discover ways in which you can improve your existing presence online.

Getting started

The process of creating your new website will take about 20 minutes. To make this as easy as possible, please have the following ready:

• The full name and address of your business (used for securing your unique website address, and also for including on your website if you wish)
• A UK mobile phone number (we will activate your website via a text message code, so please make sure your phone is with you)
• An overview of your business (we recommend a couple of paragraphs explaining who you are and what services or products you offer)
• Pictures of your premises and/or products (pictures will make your website more interesting)

We don't expect you to get everything spot on first time, so once you have finished creating your site we'll let you go back and change it as many times as you like for free.
