5 Reasons you need a Website!

Who are you?

Are you a business owner trying to increase your sales or an individual struggling to make a name? Do people know your name? If the answer is No, that’s a clear sign you need an online presence. Here are 5 reasons why you need a website right away:

1. Times have changed

This is the time on laptops, mobile devices, and the internet. Gone are the days when flyers, brochures, leaflets, and posters were the only way to gain fame. A paper based advert is usually found in the bin, and eventually forgotten, but a website will stay there forever for the customer to return.

2. Think long term

Maybe, in the beginning, you decide a website may not be necessary, but let me tell you, in the long run, a website is what will make the difference. It takes time for a website to become popular. The later you decide, the more you will have to wait. Now is the time, get started!

3. Some Facts!

Did you know that in the US, almost 50% of small businesses still don’t have a website? In the UK, 2 million businesses still work without a website! This number is a lot higher in other countries. Did you know that research shows most people these days use the web to find a business and look at its credibility first before they go? Are you included in this list? This is not a good list to be included in, and you need to do something about it right away!

4. Gain the Edge

As you can see in the facts above, you still have time to gain a huge edge over your competitors. Reach millions of users worldwide, get insight into your business, find out what you are doing wrong, find out the latest trends. All this will help you improve the quality of your business, and in return generate more revenue.

5. It’s not even expensive!

Unless you want a very elaborate system, an online store or a brochure website with amazing designs and mobile responsiveness included costs absolutely nothing. Once the site is built, systems today are so easy to use that you don’t even need a developer to maintain and update content on it, you can do it yourself.

So what are you waiting for?
