Your small business website can be developed at a later date.How to Start
There are several ways to create a website for your business. The easiest, although the costliest way, to have a website created, is to hire a person who is expert in business website development. He will study your company and design a website that has bespoke pages suitable for your trade. This person will update your pages when necessary and ensure that your presence on the World Wide Web is at the optimum place to attract new clientele.The cheaper option is to create your own website from a package that can cost just a few pounds.

Testimonials
Business website development should include space for testimonials from satisfied customers. This is a page where you can display comments made by your customers about their satisfaction with your services. These comments should be taken for letters, cards and emails after the event.They should not be made up nor requested but should be a natural testament to your excellent business service. If possible why not scan the card or part of the letter you wish to quote so that the customer’s exact words can be seen.
Photographic Record
Either take photographs or ask for copies of photographs taken at the event that you have catered for. This will show your business and how you operate. Use photographs with happy faces of people enjoying themselves. Make sure that your customers are aware that their event will be shown on your website.Prices
Ultimately all aspects of your business should be shown on your business website. This should include terms and conditions what you offer and your price structure. Some business owners are not sure about showing prices as this makes their business known to their competitors.However assume that you are someone wishing to book a caterer online. If you cannot see prices or all the information you are likely to go to another company that have a better website and book with them instead.
Contact
Remember to put a contact page on your small business website where potential customers can contact you either by telephone, post or email.
