How to make the right decision: do you need a website or not?
When it comes to creating a website, many business people wonder if they really need one or if they can do without one.
Before you decide whether you need a website or not, it is important to understand what it is. In simple words, a website is a virtual showcase of any business on the Internet. Such a showcase usually contains information about products and services, their cost, company contact details, customer reviews, a costing calculator and much more.

When is a website necessary and when is it not?
Determining whether or not you need a website can be determined by answering a few questions:
• Do you want your business to be more accessible to potential customers?
• Do you want your business to look more professional and trustworthy?
• Do you want potential customers and partners to be able to easily contact you and get the information they need about your business, product or service?
If you answered yes to two questions, you definitely need one.
However, there are situations where a website is not a necessity. For example, if you provide services only in a certain city and do not plan to expand, it may be enough for you to simply provide your contact information on social media pages and online directories.
