1.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The objective of this study is to develop a website for a computer school to increase -
1. Visibility- Increasing visibility is one major factor that makes having a website
important. Even if people have heard about your company, they may want to carry out
research online first, before leaving the house. Provide a map and directions to your
company's shops or offices on your website so that visitors are less likely to have trouble
finding the place.
2. Accessibility- A website is online and accessible 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Because of this, your customers and potential customers can visit your site for support or
information about new and upcoming products and services whenever it is convenient for
them. Your website will act as an invaluable and always-available resource for
information which would otherwise only be accessible during your company's business
hours.
3. Sales- Your website can sell products at any time. Potential customers are not restricted
to business hours. Instead, they can go online and purchase products whenever they want.
A website with an online shop can provide a dramatic boost in sales.
