Doing business online is here to stay, and each year e-business is becoming more and more important in the battle for customers.

Today, travel and accommodation are the two most popular internet purchases in the UK. In fact, it is estimated that up to 70 per cent of all holiday bookings made through traditional channels such as the phone have been researched online beforehand. The necessity for a web presence, therefore, cannot be underestimated nor ignored.

Thankfully, though, help is at hand for those of who find computers and the internet a bit of a challenge. HIE’s Business transformation pages are full of tips, advice and news to help small businesses get started with the web and make the most of the opportunities it presents. So check them out now.
