I know for some people this is a no brainer. But believe me I’ve spoken to many people who are starting a business without one. My question to them is “why don’t you have a website?” Some have answered with “I don’t know or I don’t know how to create one” and for some money is an issue. There are so many people who can assist you in that area, also there is plenty of places where a business can create a website for “Free.”

I started with a free website and moved my way up to hiring a professional to create one for me. But believe me; a business owner won’t grow as fast without one. E-commerce is here to stay. Tap into that marketplace and watch your business bloom.

When starting a business the owner must consider all angles to bring awareness about their business to those they are trying to reach. I can guarantee you people are going to ask this question: “What is your website address.” People need to be able to find you especially if you are expecting to reach those same customers that are not in your local area.

This article has seven reasons why having a website is important. No matter what level you are at in your business a website will help you get to the next level.

Business Goals & Objectives

What do you need for your business?…more profit, more customers, modern up-to-date marketing, more satisfied customers, more business, bigger market share, less cost of running business….

As an business owner, not having a website tells readers you don’t want to be found.

So, What exactly is a Website?

A website is a collection of ‘pages’ under one domain name.

For example, www.pauletteharper.com can easily be accessed by anyone with a computer and internet connection from anywhere in the world.

As more people become familiar using the internet, the tendency is to search for everything on the web. How many times do you think a potential customer has tried to find your business on the Internet but were unable to locate you? How many times do you think they someone else instead?
