According to a survey done by Ad-ology in 2010, 46% of U.S. Small businesses do not have websites. Although the number has been growing for years, over one-half of all small businesses are missing out on potential online exposure by refusing to put their business online with their very own website. Some have argued that having a business website is not essential. They point to the popularity of sites like Yelp and Google Places for business listings. Certainly you can rely on these third party websites to promote your business online, but the small cost associated with founding your own website should never deter you from maintaining your own website for your business.

Website Builder Tools Make It Easy For The 54% Of Businesses Without An Online Web Presence

The rise of website builder tools has helped ease the frustration once associated with building and maintaining your own web presence. Website builders contain all the tools you need and are formatted in an easy-to-use manner so that literally anyone can make good use of them. The learning curve is not very steep, which means many non-technical people who have steered clear of web design can now take the plunge. Doing it yourself has the added feature of lowering the costs of website development.

Increase Your Bottom Line Using The Internet!

There doesn’t seem to be any question that having your own business website pays dividends in increased visibility and sales. 54% of small businesses do not have their own website, but 70% of the small businesses with the largest revenues do. This indicates that the small businesses that have invested in their own website have increased sales. Even more telling, 84% of mid-size companies (those with revenues between $10 million and $500 million) have websites. As you can probably surmise, if you want your small business to grow, then adding a business website is one sure way to do it.
