When the head of a company makes up his mind to order development of a website for his company he asks himself many questions. For example, how soon will his investments be repaid? How much profit will he make from the site? Of course he wants to calculate approximate profit from the website in advance in order to decide if the game is worth the candle. But is there a universal formula which allows to calculate the rate of return in this case?
Return on investment is a very important criterion of efficiency of any website because in business any investment should bring profit, either direct or indirect. One of the best examples is a new website for a company which has already existed for a long time. In this case you have enough information about the profitability of the company before creation of the site and after it. This information allows to carry out comparative analysis.
But if the corporate website exists almost as long as the company does, it is very hard to determine precisely which part in formation of the company's income the site plays at any given time. However you can say with confidence that potential clients make a decision on whether to buy a product or order a service in a certain company after visiting the official site of this company.
What influences on the company's profit from the website?
In many respects the amount of profit from the website depends on the goals and tasks which were set during website development. For example, for the largest companies the ultimate aim of website development is PR, whereas the smallest companies perform their activity via their websites. In every case profit from the website will be calculated in different ways.
Quite often the head of the company takes the site into account only as the source of addresses from potential clients or partners. However you shouldn't rely solely on the number of filled online forms on the site or addresses to online consultants when you calculate profit from the website because many Internet users still prefer to contact companies by phone or to come to the office. It is quite possible that before making a call or visiting the office your potential clients have already studied the company website and it urged them on making a positive decision. Is it possible not to take into account the influence of the site in this case?
A modern business site is not only a means of attracting new clients but also a tool for working with already existing customers and partners, an important tool for receiving feedback from clients, a tool for attracting new personnel. In this case the profit will be expressed not in the amount of money which has been earned directly via the site, but in the improvement of the company's competitiveness on the market, increase in the professionalism of the staff. In future such achievements are easily converted into real material profit!
We also cannot but mention the image-making role of the company website. In this case return of investment is provided due to the increase in confidence in the company, popularization of its brand. It is very difficult to imagine the head of a large and reliable company who sits in a cramped and dusty box-room without any windows, isn't it? In exactly the same way it is impossible to imagine such a company without its own business site. A professionally made functional website with relevant information about the company is an important element of its image. If the company pays enough attention to its site, it takes care of maintenance of its image.
