If you’re running a business, big or small, you might wonder if you really need a website. The answer is yes, and here’s why.
A website is like your shop or office, but online. People can visit it anytime, even in the middle of the night. If someone hears about your business and wants to learn more, they’ll probably search for you on the internet. If you don’t have a site, they might not find you at all.
Some people say they already have a Facebook page or use other social media. That’s helpful, but it’s not the same as having your own website. You don’t own Facebook or any social media platform. They can change how things work, limit who sees your posts, or even remove your page. With your own website and your own domain name, you’re in control. You choose what it looks like, what it says, and no one can take it away from you.
A website also makes your business look more real and professional. You can show what you offer, post photos, list prices, and share reviews from happy customers.
If you sell things, your website lets people buy from you anytime. You’re not just reaching people in your town anymore. Anyone, anywhere, can visit your site and become a customer.
Social media is good for getting attention. But your own website is where people go when they are ready to learn more or make a decision. It’s your online home, and every business should have one.

Every business needs a site so it can be listed on search engines, maps and local directories, it’s 2022 after all and everything is online. It’s REALLY easy to build a snazzy looking site with WordPress, has lots of Free themes. If you can type a document on a computer you should be able to use WordPress. Also options later on to do online store etc.
All companies should have website and it does not require a huge investment.
Having a website can attract new clients from all over the world. Even a one page site with information about the business is beneficial to prospective clients.
I have been wanting to make a website for my dad’s local company. I don’t mind learning WordPress, just afraid that I would create a poor quality site. I also have read lots of good things about WordPress being customizable so I may give it a try.
