It is said that 80% of almost all businesses has been searched, located and compared on the Internet. So if your business does not have a website and is not on the Internet, you are not even in the race.

A website is the most essential component of all businesses. That said, it is just not enough that your business has a website. Your website design must look professional, if you want to be taken seriously. 

Potential buyers today, search the internet before making a purchase. And your website should be a store house for that information. The look, the content, the freshness and your positioning on the search engine, would all go a long way to make that best impression.

Internet has levelled the playing field when it comes to competition. So you have just one shot at making a good first impression. With a well-designed website, updated regularly with loads of information and professionally marketed online can project the image and credibility of a big professional company.

My company is small. So why does it require a website? When it comes to benefiting from a website, size of the business does not matter. If you are a one man company or a 10000 employee corporate giant; if you don't have a website, you're losing business to other companies that have.

So, get a website and put your business online … NOW!

Also keep in mind that your website is an important part of your business. Make sure you treat it as such.
