Why Don't Some Businesses Have a Website?
When Kenyan business owners contemplate starting an online business, on their wish list is getting a beautiful website that can help them attract more customers. The cost of building a professional eCommerce website in Kenya starts from Sh 250,000 for a basic website which is a hefty amount for small businesses or freelance sellers around Kenya.
For this reason, most Kenyan businesses have embraced the use of online selling platforms such as Social media and online marketplaces since it they are more cost-effective, low risk and easy to get started.
Abandoned eCommerce Websites
Despite the evolution of digital experiences and expectations over the years, businesses (large and small, local and global, and B2B or B2C) all still struggle with the same kinds of issues: the ones that ultimately lead to a failed, abandoned, or ultimately ineffective e-commerce project. Here’s why most organizations believe their e-commerce projects fell flat:
- Poor Onsite experience
- The website was beautiful to the eye but the markup was hard for search engines to read
- Lack of a proper back office. The data was a mess
- The Website Isn't Ranking in Google and could not be found on search results
- Failure to update the website on a regular basis
- Developer costs associated with running and maintaining the website
