Websites: And why your business should get one.
Unless you’ve been living in a hut in the woods for the past 30 years, you’ll be pretty aware of the Internet, and even if you’re not that technical, you probably have a pretty good grasp of what a website is. But as a business, even the smallest one, it’s worth considering getting a website. Here’s our breakdown of websites: and why your business should have one.
We do hear if pretty often; “it’s not worth me getting a website” or “my customer base doesn’t use the Internet”. We’re not doubting for a second that you know all about your business, but having a website, even just a very small, simple one, can open doors.

But having a web page gives you a presence online, and a tool to be able to use to direct potential customers to where all your information is available all in once place.
Maybe you’re a builder and want to show some examples of your work, or a cleaning company and want to have a price list displayed.

In today’s digital age, having a website is essential for any business that wants to be taken seriously.
