Building a website yourself?


Most small businesses don't have the big budgets for websites that larger companies do. As a result, most website developers ignore home based and small businesses and focus on the big bucks, or try to shoehorn them into a template that really doesn't fit.

Not Mercury. We specialize in custom website development for small businesses at a small business price. Mercury serves small businesses in Leesburg, Loudoun County, Virginia, and the entire Washington, DC, metropolitan area. Our clients include small law firms, consulting firms, CPR training, non-profits, construction trade companies and education providers.

Why every small business needs a website

Approximately 30% of home based and small (1-5 employees) business do not have a web site. Mercury helps these business owners understand the powerful impact a website can have on their bottom line. Through education and demonstrations we show them that a well planned website will:

  1. Present a professional image of your business, letting potential customers know you are serious about winning their business.
  2. Increase credibility - avoids the "Mom and Pop" look. It can make you look bigger than you are; even put you on a global scale.
  3. Reduce or eliminate need for customer service or sales personnel and "brick and mortar" facilities, and allow the business to operate 24x7.
  4. It can be your most effective, most flexible and least expensive form of marketing, especially when compared to Yellow Pages or print ads.
  5. It will help your business thrive.

Some business owners may ask, I do all my business through referrals, why do I need a website? The answer to that question is, even with a referral, most potential customers or clients will want to check you out further. Your website can provide information 24x7 such as:

  • Detailed descriptions of your products and services
  • Product pictures
  • Hours of operation
  • Experience
  • Professional affiliations
  • Testimonials and references
  • Location and directions
  • Current specialsEtc.
