Top Ten Reasons why you need a website.

1. Tell the world about you, your cause or business


2. Over a billion people have access to the World Wide Web today, and with high-speed access it's already a trend to turn to the web instead of the phone book. The web simply gives more and detailed information instead of just a phone number.


3. Cost effective return on investments can be unimaginably huge, and always at least existent.
   To serve the public with a website you can provide instant responses to customers needs. Either by answering questions, providing a service, or purchasing a product. All done instantly 24/7 in the comfort of their own home.


4. Create 365/24/7 service. Your website is your super employee out there marketing you product/service. It answering questions and often bringing in revenue while you sleep.


5. Advertising: imagine a highway in your city that actually people all over the world used and frequently. Imagine this road has over a billion users every month that is what the world wide web is and your website is a billboard on that road that people will save print and pass along to friends and family.


6. Reach new markets: before the internet and all of its websites businesses were for the most part only able to reach consumers in their own neighborhood, city county and maybe if you were really big you could be statewide. The Internet and your website will let you access the consumers in 52 states and a couple hundred is not thousands of countries. If it is your desire and is things are done right, its possible to go from a hundred100 customers in your hometown to a million customers all across the worlds almost overnight with customers all across the world almost overnight, with the aid of a good website.


7. Sell your product: almost the same as number 7 but more for people interested in ecommerce. (Ecommerce: selling products online). Imagine if E-bay was just some store our in Denver, Colorado. How big would they be? Now add a great website to the mix and look what they have become. The presence you create with a professional can easily create a whole other stream of steady income. Sometimes large enough to be able to allow for the physical locations to close down and save even more revenue.


8. Make changes quickly with brochures and business cards even physical billboards; it can take weeks to change a single sentence. Don't forget not being able to change the mediums the customer already have in his possession. With a website you can change a single image or sentence all the way up to a total makeover in as little as a couple hours.


9. Stay competitive: the last thing I want to say it, if you're in business then you are in a competition. If you are in a competition and your enemy has the power of the web, shouldn't you also?
