Why you need a Website?

Business and Marketing
No matter how big or small your business is, its a good idea to have a website for a lot of good reasons. If I hear about your company and I want to know more about your products or services, I would go the internet and search for your website, because I assume that every business has a website and so will a lot of people do that, I wouldn't go to YellowPages and search for it cause it will only give me your address, it easier to go to your website and read about all the information I need.
The number of online customers is huge that no one can ignore. With a website you are providing the customer with information and support 24/7/365. You can improve your business by getting feedback from the customers, what they like what they don't, what the want, what should be improved, you can also make surveys, and you can keep customers information in a database to make statistics or sending emails of updates. When you think about it, it's not very expensive to build a site considering its benefits. The content of the website is the most important thing but you also should take care of the design and navigation part, because customers may leave you your website if they have a bad first impression or get confused while surfing your site.
You can reach foreign markets just by translating your website into their language.
