Does my business even need a website?

Yes.

Ok, maybe I should elaborate since a one-word, one-sentance post doesn't cover all the "why"s you might have. But, truly the answer is yes. Without question, your business should have a website. Why not take advantage of a very practical, useful and more importantly - affordable medium, such as the internet.

Now, with that said, does your business website need to be come monster web, with hundreds os pages, links and graphics? Does it need to cost $4000? No. It can be 1 page. That's right, ONE SINGLE PAGE. That page needs to cover the who, what, where, when, why and how or your business. Anything more than that, for the sake of this article, is gravy!

The simple fact is, wait for it....people use the internet! Shocker, right? They use it before they make a purchase, they use it to find businesses and as part of their research. We aren't even going to talk about sites where a consumer can actually make an online purchase.

Another good reason to have a site, even if it is a one-page online-business card site, is to feed other sites. You know why they call it "the web", because it is a woven network of shared\sharable data. Your one-page can be used to feed other pages, such as online yellow pages, listing sites and professional directories, and you, for the most part don't even need to do anything but sit back in reap the rewards.

We hope you would select SiteBoxPro to get your site up and running, but no matter who designs and hosts your website we hope that you would explore the web as a place to promote your business.

  1. Design can also aid in selling a product or idea through effective visual communication. It is applied to products and elements of company identity like logos, colors, packaging, and text. Together these are defined as branding. Branding has increasingly become important in the range of services offered by many graphic designers, alongside corporate identity.
