Here are some of the key reasons why you need a website in 2017: 

No 1 – An Online Presence is Vital

A website is the perfect online window to display all of your work, and it’s only a click away from potential money in the bank.  By having a website you have the opportunity to reach a wider audience.  Potential customers can find out about you, your products and services, and contact you directly. It’s also an easy way to update your existing customers on what’s new.

 No 2 – Grow Your Customer Base

Over 3.7billion users accessing the internet and it’s growing by the second. Everyone has internet access so if you don’t have a website you are automatically missing out on a massive piece of the pie which you can’t afford.  

No 3 - Build Your Brand and Credibility

aving a website for your business will automatically increase your business value.  An online presence allows you to build your brand in a professional manner and it implies you are here to stay giving you and your business credibility.  

No 4 – Become an Influencer

A website allows you to be creative and unique and even become an influencer.  You can use your website to showcase your portfolio, products and services. Creating a blog on your website further builds your profile as an industry expert.  By creating regular content Google will fall in love you and might even feature your business on the first page of the google search engine.
