Do I really need a website?

If you have a business, you should have a website. Period. No question. No ifs no buts. Without a doubt.

"Websites are perhaps the most overlooked vehicle of advertising for local - owner operated businesses"

Even if you think you dont have a product as one that can't be sold online, remember, there's very little that can't be sold over the internet. Websites are not just for selling either, the information you include on your website is just as important as the products or service you wish to sell. Expertise and experience are also huge selling points that can give you an edge over your competitors.

Remember more than 20 million shoppers are now online, purchasing everything from books to computers to cars to real estate to whatever ..you name it. If you can imagine it, someone will figure out how to sell it online.

It doesn't matter if you're a one-man show or a 5,000 employee corporate giant; if you don't have a website, you're losing business to other companies that do.
