Brick AND click
The best business investment that we ever made was launching a website, www.parpools.com . Although our brick & mortar store had been around for years, we found that our niche was more in demand online from pool & hot tub owners across the US. Today as gas prices increase & customers are having problems finding disposable income, we want our local, normally walking-in clients to click in instead. They can still get free phone support & their order will be delivered the following day for a reasonable cost. Actually, come to think of it, we can offer them MORE products online than shopping in the store. That means more sales & more revenue. That's a VERY good thing.

What's about VALUE ?
Hi Cris
You have outlined some good information here. But I would like to keep some stuff in mind.
You are very much focused on LOCAL businesses. You have to understand that a website is made to expand your business, more clients, more sales and as well geographically - and fast if well done.
The people which already know you, and already buy are a great asset, but a website should in FIRST PLACE bring NEW clients and additional sales to a business.
If you focus on this you will have success with your site. But you need to know how to sell Online, what is different to Offline sales.
Invest a little money (less then 40.- in this case) and learn all about How To Sell Online. You need this as there are a lot of details you must use in your site.
The best place I know of is The Wealthy Affiliate University, where I include a Review here. You can go anywhere else or visit Free Internet Marketing Forums, just LEARN Internet Marketing before you hire a Webmaster to build a site for you, as they mostly don't know how to market, they only know how to build a nice site.
Feel free to contact me, I try to help you more if I can.
