Did you know that there are over 3 billion internet users worldwide?

One of the questions almost every business owner thinks about is, “Why do I Need a Website?”   There are many reasons why your business needs a website but to answer that question in an easy phrase, one could simply just say, “Google It.”

“Google It,”  those famous words that everyone has heard and that everyone has followed at one point or another.  People around the world are turning to their computers, tablets and smartphones to find answers to questions, to shop for clothing, cars and household items, to find doctors, dentists and other professional services such as plumbing, roofing or air conditioning repair service.

According to the International Telecommunication Union, the number of internet users has increased seven-fold since the year 2000.  Worldwide internet use rose from 738 million in 2000 to over 3 billion in 2015.

So if you are a business owner and you are wondering if you should get a website for your company, the answer is, “Yes.”

4 Benefits of Having a Website

  • Online Presence – Whether someone is looking for your services through keyword searches or through the referral of a friend, having your own website and online presence could be the difference between obtaining a new client or losing a great referral.
  • Business Value or Credibility – With the internet so easily available through the touch of a screen, customers often search for companies and businesses prior to visiting them, calling them or doing business with them.  If they do not see your website, they may perceive lower standards or credibility for your business.
  • Your Competition has a Website – All businesses have some type of competition somewhere and your competition may have a professional website which will intrigue potential clients.  Even if a customer is looking for you through word of mouth, if you do not have a website and your competition does, they may just go with your competition
  • More Customers –  The internet doesn’t sleep!  By having a professional business website you are simply making yourself available to gain new customers 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
