2009 is proving to be a good year for the Internet. Rather like the early pioneering days of the 2000’s there are more and more people and businesses turning to the Internet to set up websites and online systems. However, this time things are more settled and it’s easier than ever to get an online business up and running in just a few days.The route to market via the Internet is much more affordable than the traditional high street and with technology making it easier to liaise with 3rd parties such as suppliers, delivery firms and couriers, getting want you want is so straightforward.The indications are that there is a new wave of demand for domain names and web site design which shows no sign of letting up. With almost every household now having Broadband the demand for goods and services ordered directly across the Internet is at an all time high. We are living in an on-demand era – people want and expect things almost immediately and the school leavers of today and tomorrow are set to fuel this demand even higher.Unlike the beginning of the decade when company values were being estimated at ridiculously high levels, expectations today are much more realistic. The Internet is here to stay and people realise this. It has become an accepted part of the fabric of society. Consumers are also much more willing to use their credit and debit cards online than they were 8 or 9 years ago. There are also many more accessible payment solution providers for online retailers to choose from. For people starting up an online business the likes of PayPal and Google Checkout have made it quick and simple to take payments from consumers via websites.During the current credit crunch and downturn in the economy more companies are asking their staff to work from home. With technology such as secure VPN’s to connect to company Intranets making it viable, companies are realising the cost saving benefit of switching office staff to homeworkers. It’s often the case that when people work from home they work longer hours and spend far longer online than those working in an office.All of this adds up to more demand from consumers for online products and services, so join the Second Coming of the Internet and get your online business up and running. All you need is a domain name and a website and you’ll be ready to grab your share of the action.
