The rise of the internet has completely changed the way we do business but it may surprise you to learn that there are a large number of companies that don’t feel they need to have a website, especially in the small to medium business sector. The reasons for this are varied. Some people believe that the product or service they are offering doesn’t really translate well to online sales. Some are busy enough with the amount of custom they have that they don’t feel it necessary to take on any more and some are just too busy to take on the extra responsibility of running and maintaining an online presence.
According to the BBC as recently as 2007 over half of small to medium businesses felt there was no need for them to have a website. With the economic down turn this is certainly a big mistake on the part of hundreds of businesses of all shapes and sizes.
