The Webunet Group - Small business Internet consultants to MIM companies

The Webunet Group
Since 1996

Our focus and philosophy

Our business focus is helping small companies bring their businesses online - or improve their existing websites and marketing efforts. Our purpose is to help companies like yours increase your reach, attract new customers and market your products and services effectively online.

Most business owners are too busy managing their business to learn everything necessary to create and maintain a compelling and effective website - and maximize their online marketing results.

We bring a decade of experience with online marketing and Internet technology to people who don't have the time or resources to invest in the learning curve. We do not concentrate on high-dollar e-commerce applications as that is not what the typical small business needs today.

Pricing & support

There is no such thing as a "one size fits all" approach to web design and tailor-made marketing strategies. The cost to create a basic website can be similar to that required to produce a four-color brochure for print. The variables are many - and oftentimes different for every type of business. However, there is no cost to talk to us. Let us know what you're looking for and how we might help. We'll give you a no-nonsense proposal and a full description of options and marketing ideas. Support is part of the Webunet difference, we live here and work here and are available to answer your questions.

Internet/small business philosophy

If you're in business you MUST have an online presence if you hope to grow and attract new customers. This becomes more critical to your business' long-term survival each day.

The Webunet Group has been involved with the Internet for more than a decade, and zealously believe in the promise (and even much of the hype) associated with the Internet. We know that the Net is transforming the way people do business, and it will continue to gain in importance. However, the question of online commerce is a difficult thing to assess for many small businesses because...

The bad guys are winning (for now)

Few small businesses can afford to staff full-time technology positions or hire network administrators to manage an e-commerce operation and cope with the firewall issues, intruder attacks, viruses, etc. that an e-commerce site is prone to. Without such protection, doing commerce online is can be precarious.

Unfortunately, the bad guys are making online commerce difficult for small businesses. The amount of fraud, identity theft, server hacking, pfhishing, spam, scams and other illegal activities has been increasing every year. So far, no government laws have had any noticeable effect on this activity.

Brochure-ware vs. eCommerce

After analyzing the expense and the potential for loss, liability or damages, you must ask yourself is it really essential that you actually complete transactions online, or merely provide an interactive means (brochure) for someone to learn about your products or services and contact you with questions, and buy your goods.

As an example, a business that produces home-made spices or wildlife carvings, etc. can thrive with a website that displays their wares, discusses manufacturing methods, describes the company, people and what makes their products distinctive.

An eye-catching online brochure is more powerful than any advertisement in magazines, newspapers or the yellow pages. People today search the Net before turning to the phone book, and there is no more persuasive or cost-effective way to promote a business than having a well designed website.

We can help you decide what degree of e-commerce you want to perform online.
