| I do custom build PC's, specifically for gaming application. 99% of my business is by direct referral. I do not have a website, but have been offered free webspace, which I declined because my business is more of a hobby than needed for a living, it supports my own personal expensive taste for high-end technology; I could not possibly meet the demands that a website would generate, nor do I want to take it to that level, or even maintain a website.
Obviously, a website is important to you, so you need to have a very professional aesthetically pleasing opening webpage. You also need to draw interested customers to your site. Are you listed on GOOGLE? Are you a computer components reseller only, or do you do any kind of custom component fabrication or something else that sets you apart from all of ther other "me too's"?
Some of my work is unique, or considered "my signature". I have friends and business acquaintances who provide unique products or services, and I regularly make referrals to them. If you do not mind being associated with other businesses who provide products or services you may not find 'agreeable', you can acquire free webspace by allowing these to advertise and link to your website, and they will provide mutual links to your website from theirs; I personally would not align myself with these entities, but many smaller businesses do,- because leasing webspace on servers is too costly for them.
Do you maintain an inventory of product, or have arrangements with suppliers for them to drop ship directly to your customers? Maybe both: i.e. maintain some inventory based on projected demand, and/or purchase product as needed?
