# 1 reason why I think you should have a website... HONESTLY?... I do enjoy designing and developing websites, and I would like to offer my services to you. But I am sure it is not a good reason for you. So let's move to other reasons.

You should have a website. Period. No question. Without a doubt. You maybe a small business with just you and couple employees...You may have a product line that you think that it can not be sold online. Do not be so quick... When it comes to benefiting from a website, size does not matter. I don't care if you're a one-man show or a 10,000-employee corporate giant; if you don't have a website, you're losing business to other companies that do.

There are so many things that a website can offer.

• WEBSITES SAVE TIME: You can utilize your website for information purposes. Many consumers now search for information online prior to making a purchase at a brick-and-mortar store.
  
• WEBSITES PROVIDES WORLDWIDE PRESENCE: More than 20 million shoppers are now online. That alone should be a huge motivation for you to have a presence on the web. In order for your customers to find you, you have to exist. And one of the great things about the Internet is that it has leveled the playing field when it comes to competing with the big boys. It is your chance.
  
• WEBSITES MAKE MONEY: You can utilize your website for selling your products and services: Purchasing everything from books to computers to cars to real estate to jet airplanes to natural gas to you name it, there is almost nothing that can not be sold online.
