Many local businesses have been forced into reduced face to face contact during COVID-19, emphasizing  the need for an online presence. Shop fronts may have been forced into confronting the vagaries of selling online and it can be a daunting prospect.

For businesses affected in Gippsland, Warragul based Eastcoast IT is offering free consultations via Zoom or phone for those who may be considering starting or growing their website to increase opportunities.

While the most obvious application may be an online shop, there are also many other ways your website can work for you, particularly service based businesses, for example online billing with secure payment gateways, industry specific form processing, bookings and reservation applications and team document sharing.

One of our longest running contracts was the development and maintenance of an online self-managed super fund audit process for an accountancy firm. So effective was this application, the company subsequently transitioned into specialising in SMSF audits only. No online selling in sight, just a labour saving data collection tool.

If you’re considering a new website, a rebuild, or just don’t know which way to go, I’m happy to have a chat and answer any questions, no obligation. This is available to Gippsland businesses only and you may have seen our offers for COVID-19 grant recipients on Facebook and our website.
