Avaya's Jerome Toulorge says a website should do everything you would do in person to inform and drive

Designing and maintaining a website has come a long way in just a few short years and it has become a crucial part of any company’s marketing and sales efforts.

In addition to keeping your website ‘user-friendly,’ take into consideration how you might maintain your site. Simple things such as making sure your list of products, services and solutions reflects your current business offerings and linking to other websites or blogs that relate to your business can assist to a healthy flow of web traffic. For the reseller audience, this could mean linking to key industry organisations and encouraging them to link back to your website to help in your ranking in search engine result pages.

As we all know social media is about sharing information, so integrating social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn, with your site can help add to your online presence by enabling visitors to engage with you outside of your website – a second factor to consider for generating traffic. This all boosts search engine optimisation (SEO) which can help drive traffic to your website and attract the attention of new and potential customers.

A strong online presence accurately represents your brand, but also provides a round the clock shop front for your business, which encourages valuable customer engagement. Ultimately a website is an integral and dynamic part of your marketing strategy and as industry trends change and business objectives change; your website content can be flexible enough to reflect these shifts.
