Ballarat Businesses Are Being Compared to Melbourne Ones

Here is the awkward part about trading in Ballarat now. A decent share of your customers moved up from Melbourne in the last few years and they turned up with Melbourne expectations about what a website should do. They are not being snobs about it. They simply assume that a business worth using will let them book, or price something, or at least understand what is on offer, without having to ring anyone first. When your site cannot manage that, you look smaller than you really are.

The city is spread out, too. Sturt Street and the centre, then Wendouree and Alfredton and Delacombe and Sebastopol all pulling their own trade, and an hour or so down the freeway sits an entire other market that will happily quote on your job from Melbourne. Being clear about where you work is worth real money. So is loading quickly, since a lot of the searching happens on a phone in a cold car park rather than at anybody's desk.

The seasonal swing matters as well. March brings the Begonia Festival and a run of visitors through town; July and August are quiet and freezing and people sit inside planning things instead. A site that explains what you do in winter, and not only what you do in March, is what keeps the phone going through the flat stretch.
