Why YOUR Business Needs a Website!
If you are very small business, just starting up or only interested in supplying goods or services to people in your local area, do you need or want a website for your business?
You may not see any great benefits that could make the time, effort and cost of setting up a professional standard website worthwhile.
Here are some reasons why I believe that a business like yours should invest the required time, money and effort in a website:
The cost in time and other resources is probably less than you imagine. A few years ago, you would be looking at a significant minimum spend up front, just for the website without including the computer and other equipment, and fairly noticeable ongoing costs.
The few special software programs which were then available added a bundle of dollars to your starting costs.
Many businesses had to employ an extra person - someone with the required knowledge to set it up for you and, probably, to continue to operate it.
Computers systems and other hardware were costly and very slow by today's standards.
