Q: Why does my business need a website?

Short answer:
To make more MONEY!

Long answer:
1) Public expectations.
If you ask any pc, laptop, tablet and smart phone user is it important for a company to have a website they instantly will agree YES! And the reason is because they all use devices that allow them to go on-line, and it has become generally expected that any self respecting company would have a website then there's your answer, in fact it may be perceived that not having a website could be damaging your sales.

2) Advertising and Promotion.
Whatever your business or product having a website offers you excellent exposure and promotion. It is also excellent value for money (compared to other advertisement types) and will let potential customers know where your are, what you do or what services you provide, when your open and what deals you are promoting.

3) Extended Operating Hours.

Potentially your business is never closed, and if you have an e-commerce business you can take sales whenever from anywhere in the World!

Now I appreciate that not everyone is as into technology as me, and I still have people today show me their old 'brick' type mobile phone and say 'this is all I need' or 'this does the job for me!' which is great for them, but they are ignoring the average customers needs of today by not having a website.

The costs of websites can vary dramatically, from free (if you want to put a lot of effort in yourself) to very expensive (depending on the requirements). If your thinking of whether or not to get a business website STOP! Your business needs one! When your thinking of how much to spend on a website consider how much time you wish to devote to the website. If you want a professional website then get a professional to do it. If you just want to get on-line and reap the benefits of being on-line and have time to spare then try it yourself to start with.
