Every business should have a web site. It is amazing that in this decade there are still so many small and medium sized businesses that are not on-line. Having a presence on-line is essential for creating credibility as well as exposure. It used to be a standard that any business would have a toll free 800 number. Then fax machines came along and you could not do business without. Then email became a part of daily life at home and in the work place. With a small budget any business can get a basic web site that will be essentially an electronic business card. The more you put into the site the more (ROI) you’ll get back. By the way, do NOT get a free web site by hosting with certain companies or use a dirt cheap web site where you pick templates and fill-in the info. That is the equivalent to using free business cards that are free because the printer has their contact info on the back. It says your cheap and don’t care enough to present yourself with any dignity. Why would a client/customer expect you to treat them well if you don’t treat your business with respect? Would I go to a client meeting wearing jeans? No!
Bottom line is that you need to be part of the online community otherwise you are missing out on clients/customers, providing information without spending a lot of time (leveraging your efforts) and able to either save money or make your advertising so much more effective by having a web site. Talk to a professional who should explain the entire process for you if they really are a pro!

The presentation is about 35 minutes and you get to see how a web site can increase revenue and cut operating costs.
