Do you have a business without a website?? If you are a business owner without a website, then this blog is for you. In this write-up, I will tell you 5 reasons why all businesses need a website, regardless of their size.

I understand that many people avoid building a website because they are not tech-savvy, they don’t have the time, or they don’t have the money. The reality is, having a website can be very cost-effective and simple to implement.

But did you know?!

81% of people researching a business on the internet do so before making a purchase decision. Despite the number of people who research businesses online, 48% of business owners think they don’t need a website. This is a huge number that shows how seriously business owners take their websites.

5 REASONS WHY A WEBSITE IS BEST FOR YOUR BUSINESS.

1. Having a website will attract new customers to your business and make you more money.

I am saying this again because it makes so much sense to have a website based on this statistic. 81% of people research a product or service before making a purchase decision. This statistic is very important for businesses wanting to reach a more affluent group of people. If your business is not online, how will 81% of people find you?

Your website works for you 24/7, 365 days a year.

Your website acts as your information hub while you are getting some much-needed rest after a busy day creating a business.

Your website will be what converts a referral to a sale.

Most people will still research your business off the back of a referral and then make their own judgement. By not having a website you eliminate people to make their own decision about your business and only go off a referral.

2. Having your own website will add instant credibility to your business.

The 21st century consumer is more skeptical of businesses that don’t have a website. Having a website is one of the most important factors that businesses need to consider in order to gain trust from the public.

The first impressions count and a well-designed website paired with professional photography make for a strong introduction to your business.

Your website will showcase your expertise and put your business in a better position than competitors. Making you rememberable.

3. It is not as hard, or as expensive, as you think.

You don’t need to be tech-savvy to get started with web development. Many companies offer simple signup processes. LDigital offers a range of services that will get your business online quickly and for an affordable price. All you need to do is fill out a form on the website.

Getting a business website is typically the lowest cost way to generate new customers and build your brand. It can also be totally written off at the end of the tax year. I assume this is why my peak period is in January.

4. Having a website will save you time in the long run.

Your website can help you save time by answering frequently asked questions and providing helpful answers. The majority of people will look to find the answer themselves without needing to reach out for support. You best serve your customer by providing them with an FAQ page on your website. Giving your customers the tools to answer their own questions.

5. A website is an integral part of any business strategy. It acts as a platform for communicating and shaping the online perception of your company.

Getting a website is one of the easiest and most important things to do to improve your business. A website serves as a platform for your business to communicate and shape the perception of your company online. The easiest way to think of marketing is – your social media is there to raise awareness of your brand and your website is where you sell your products or services.
