Its the end of 2011 and I constantly come across businesses with no website. Having a website for my business was crucial. Having a website with social media is now the base.

The competition in the web nowadays is getting crucial mostly for a company website and for that reason the Web Design is usually the first concern. I am really shocked to read that there are companies who doesn’t have websites, I think they should seriously look onto this part and concern a web design company who can actually make them rule there sales online :)

Hi Lisa,

With the YP losing its popularity, nothing is stopping small business owners to really set up a website and start looking at optimization techniques to rank their business’ pages.

But aside from having a website, getting a simple design and loading it with helpful content, reading a simple but effective call to action is the way to go. This is the next step in getting your customers’ time and attention, the chance for your business to shine and prove that you can deliver.

Cheers,
Dave

Even if you don’t own a website you should at least build a Google local place for your business. It’s easy and people in your area will find you on google very easily and they can give feedback and reviews on your services. Altough it is better to have a website beside your google listings with the marketing efforts and everything. Currently I don’t have a live site for my one man web affiliate business cause I don’t have any clients other than affiliate companys but it would be good for my business to have one for even those contacts and I could throw few links to my sites and build my trust in google for the business if I ever want to change the business style to local businesses and such.

I agree with you 100% , from what I’ve seen on here there are a lot of amateur hacks trying to make a quick buck, I think they need to f@#k off and let the professionals do what they do best. Just because you can install wordpress doesn’t mean that you can design and develop a website. that’s how most businesses get a crappy website that is no good.

I agree with you 100% , this is why we need to regulate the Creative industry just like doctor, attorney, architect.

Websites are a huge part of a company’s presence within the local community. If they miss on the quick and efficient nature of a website, they are effectively loosing customers. If even a simple, informative website is created, customers can have easy access to see what the business is all about

Thanks,
Alex

Hire someone to design it – Only part in the blog I disagree with. You need professional to handle this part. Like any other software, this small software a.k.a website needs maintenance.

College Student, Neice or Nephew may have other priorities now…

Amen, and aside from being financially irresponsible, it’s down right sleazy to expect even an amateur to build you a fully functioning website for a pizza and work experience. Think about it, you don’t offer a doctor a pizza to diagnose your illness or a carpenter “work experience” to build cabinets, heck you don’t even do that to the neighbor kid that mows your lawn, so why would you do it to a person either in the process of or already at the level of a professional designer…

If you can get yourself a decent site out of a site builder then just go that route to save money, it’s less skeezy and probably will turn out cheaper. But you should really consider hiring a professional.
