That's an easy question to answer. Because many of us are in the mindset that we cannot possibly personally know of, or speak with any and every person who may be interested in or needs our service....
Why is it so many are so adamant that I, and every other business, need a website? There is nothing that a website or any other online presence can possibly do for my business.
<--------------Ludite managing to stay busy and having new customers calling.
This thread lives on! Another luddite here. I'm probably repeating myself but I was in business before internet, web...
Wow, Paul, you are old! You must be close to 60 or higher. LOL.
I'm 57. Old enough to have done some hand drawing on artboard and/or acetate with technical pens, hand cutting ruby and amber lithe,...
No one knows your business like you do.
Exactly! Reasonably intelligent business people know if/when they can use the internet to their advantage. Sometimes there is no benefit.
I think the...
What a good question!
I believe not having a website is a self-inflicted handicap. Not having a website is tantamount to allowing your competitors to travel by plane first class while you cycled...
I use the internet constantly myself for info and almost every business I ever worked with had a website. However, some businesses, like mine, are tied into existing networks for referrals that don’t...
I'm thinking there are businesses out there that don't need a website, but it's rare. Even your local dentist should have a website to give address info and credentials. It's really not to sell but...
Of course it's reasonable. If i know that a website isn't useful, again, why would I? You keep assuming that every business wants their information available to the genneral public.
Many...
I never said it was without value, quite the opposite, it’s a fantastic system that I use extensively. I have had websites for businesses since the late 90s. Heck, I was creating websites with the...
You think that the customers go looking for these companies and that's not the paradigm in some industries. See the examples for bidding on government contracts, if it ain't in the bid, it doesn't...
Yep. And that's what it boils down to. In this day of being able to find information about anything instantly, people aren't going to do your sales and marketing for you and call for more...
Because donald is in an older generation. The new generation uses the web to connect with people the most. An online presence (even if it is just your domain and 1 pager) going to be more and more...
Why would anyone assume that every business wants to post up a website just to say who they are. As Freelancier has said it’s a marketing tool. It’s not a required license to be in business.

Typically when we hit about 1/4 tank, we start looking up gas stations within our refueling window....
I'll tell you straight up that I personally won't hire you without one, no matter who...
This thread didn't ask "Does this particular business situation need a website?", it asks in general "Should every business have a website"........".

Exactly my point,it didn't ask if most...
"If you build it, they will come" is wishful thinking. Just like your business cards don't magically jump out of your pocket and into people's hands, neither does your website.
You argument is...
On a road trip you can Google Tim Horton, but I don’t think you’d pass by the highway station if you need gas because it doesn’t have a site. Would you Google the hamburger stand while you are laying...
I realize many use the internet for info and that it is an important marketing tool for many businesses. But, who would ever need to find the website for the gas station on the turnpike or the...
Every business should have a website. No reason not to!
Websites aren't the answer for every business. Having a website just for the sake of it when NO ONE will ever need it, look for it, see it...
Dentists and Chinese restaurants probably should have web sites so you can check out the menu and the dentist. But, the gas station on the highway, the coffee counter in the office building and the...
Most businesses need to make use of the internet and electronic communications to some extent but many don’t need a “web presence”. Many shops like convenience stores and local eateries don’t benefit...
