Why do i need a website?

Many design companies will have a long sales pitch to answer this question. The shortest answer is: To establish a presence and open your business to countless new opportunities (sales or promotional). 

Close to 500 million people worldwide have access to the World Wide Web and buy or sell products and services on websites. No matter what your business is you can’t ignore 500 million people. Even if you just conduct business within your community, you want to let people in that community know that you are interested in serving them in any way possible. If you don’t, your competitors will. If your competitors are ignoring this very important marketing area, your website could give you the competitive edge you’ve been struggling to find.
 
Inform your customers.  Make business information available to everyone who wants it with only a little additional effort.  You can give them answers to questions like:

• What are your hours?
• What do you do?
• How can someone contact you?
• Where are you located?
• What are today’s specials?

If you could keep your customers informed of every reason why they should do business with you, don’t you think you could do more business? You can on the internet.
