Chapter 1 - Why Do I Need a Website?
If you have a business, you should have a website.
What I am trying to say here is that in modern times you should, at the very least, have a presence online so that people—whether they are customers, potential employees, business partners or even investors—can find you. This is important because you want them to quickly and easily find out about your business and the products or services you must offer.
However, it is not enough that you just have a website. To really reap the benefits, you must have a professional, attractive, user-friendly site. Across the UK and the world, the majority of consumers search for information online before making a purchase. Your website is very often your first impression to a potential buyer. If your site looks like it was designed by your 12-year-old niece, your chance of making a good first impression will be lost.
Your site speaks volumes about your business. It either says, We take our business seriously and take care of our brand and customers
or We look for quick, easy, cheap solutions. My 12-year-old niece designed my site. Good luck finding anything!

If this does not convince you to take your business online, then this should…
1) YOUR BUSINESS WILL GAIN CREDIBILITY
As time goes on, more and more consumers are using the internet to search for the products and services they need.
Regardless of the size of your business, your prospective customers will expect to find you online. Having a website helps you establish credibility and legitimacy as a business. Without one, don't be surprised to see customers go to your competitors.
There are still plenty of small businesses that don't have a website; without one, small
is exactly what they will stay. Without a website to which you can refer people, potential clients will assume that you are a small-scale company that does not take its business seriously.
If you already have a website but it is not achieving your desired results, or if it is outdated or homemade,
having it professionally redesigned will supply your business with a brand and image which will inspire greater confidence.
For entrepreneurs working from home, this is especially useful since they do not have a physical location to promote what they can do.
2) A WEBSITE SAVES YOU MONEY
Perhaps as a small business owner you have thought that you can't afford a professional website, but in reality you can't afford NOT to.
The cost of designing and developing a website can vary. However, once it's up and running, a website for a small business generally costs under £50 a month and, in some cases, as little as £10.
Compared to the cost of advertising in a newspaper or in the Yellow Pages, a website is cost effective, but then to add to that the potential market that a website can reach—it’s a smart way to promote and grow your business.
Websites have progressed and now allow you to take online most parts of your business, such as supply management, billing, shipping, procurement and much more. Streamlining business processes online can give you the opportunity to significantly cut costs and time.
One example is that when you sell through your website, you don't must maintain stock/inventory. You have an online inventory, so customers can search the website and browse the products that can be delivered. When they have made an order, you then arrange for the product to get shipped from its original supplier.
Now that most of the processing occurs online, you don't need as many staff members to handle orders.
All of these factors can save you lots of time and money.
3) A WEBSITE KEEP YOUR CUSTOMERS INFORMED AND EDUCATED
You should consider your website to be your business’ online brochure or catalogue.
