Q: Why do I need a website?

A: That’s a very good question. In fact, it’s one of the most important and most frequently asked questions of the digital business age.

So should your business have a website? Even if your business is small and sells products or services you don’t think can be sold online? Yes, if you have a business, you should have a website. Period. No question. Without a doubt.

Even if you offer a product or service that you don’t think can be sold on the internet you need a website!

Your website is a 24 hour 7 day a week 365 day a year information kiosk for your business that should be designed to either sell your goods and services online or make your phone ring.

Not that long ago having an ad in the yellow pages was critical for any business and it still is but today more and more people are using sites internet search engines like google to find business’s and services to suit thier needs. As time passes and technology advances and wireless connectivity becomes more common with the use of devices like laptops, netbooks and smart phones more and more people will be using search engines to find the goods and services they are looking for.

If it hasn’t done so already soon Google and sites like it will replace the phone book as the number 1 source for looking up information on goods and services and if you don’t have an effective website it’s opportunity lost.
