Silverfish not only benefits the site owner. It has a rich array of benefits for re-sellers , developers and distributors alike but the major benefits for an SME are as follows:

• Silverfish is cost-effective.
  Technical aspects are rapidly and easily dealt with, without the expensive expert coding needed to build a site from the ground up. Not only does this free up budget but it creates more time for detailed site design and planning, which in turn improves usability and customer satisfaction.
   
• Silverfish sites have the crucial advantage of scalability.
  They can grow seamlessly over time as business needs evolve. A site can begin as a simple catalogue and become an online store at the click of a button.
   
• Clients only pay for the functionality that they use.
  Changing a site's type (from a catalogue to an online shop, for example) is a simple matter of upgrading the license.
   
• Clients only pay for the license after the site has been proto-typed.
  This means that clients are able to explore and evaluate the product before investing in it.
   
• Silverfish can help create additional revenue streams.
  Revenue streams are made possible through posting fees, advertising and subscriptions, all of which can help offset development costs.
   
• Business identity can be fully expressed.
  Silverfish allows complete design freedom, which enables an existing business brand to be fully expressed online.
