Websites are NOT the official validation of anything. I.ve said before it may be somewhat generational. Those who grow up with internet treat it as the end all to everything.

You are correct, but...

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.

That's an easy...

Can you please stop using references like this. Just because one doesn't have a website doesn't mean they are not competitive nor turning a profit. .

That was probably a little more snark than...

Of course I must disagree. Websites are not compulsory. They are simply a marketing option for many businesses. In some cases the site IS the business. For many others a website serves no real...

Yes, you are an exception. I'm sure you aren't the only one. If your clientele doesn't have internet or electricity, and that is your entire target market then it makes sense that a website isn't at...

I'm just commenting on how I see a business that I can't look up anywhere and won't spend $12.99 for a branded email. I'm sure other people feel differently.

For me, knowing how many scams and...

I agree with the above. I don't care what kind of business it is, a website is the basics. If you can't even do the bare minimum to look legitimate and let me know something about you and your...

It's not absolute. I don't see any reason for my local convenience store to have a website, but I found my dry cleaner through searching for dry cleaners on my phone and up popped a map with...

You are correct. I can't imagine why any legitimate business wouldn't want to be found. Even private clubs have password protected websites that only members can access. Even shelters for battered...

You know, if you had some kind of reference where you could say a particular business had a website and it served no purpose to either the business or any potential customers..as a matter of fact...

I've worked with or known a few people who don't want to be found on the web. They were an escort service, a time share "broker", a guy without a business license, a felon, and a guy running ( what...

Just seems to be that some presence on the web lends a certain amount of credibility for a company and provides customers and potential customers a way to find out more about the company. Usually...

I have a handful of clients who don't need a web site, because it doesn't serve their marketing strategy, and after studying their business model, I tend to agree that it's not going to help them...

If your best potential customers don't look on the web site find someone like you, then that's not the marketing tactic you need to use for your business.

True. Although I'd love to meet the...

I'll tell you straight up that I personally won't hire you without one, no matter who referred me to you. I like to do my own research on what a person does on my own time. If one highly trusted...

The internet is a great tool for many purposes, I love it and I use it extensively for research and communications. I’m not arguing against it, I am just not agreeing with the notion that every...

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 or miss it if there isn't one just doesn't make sense.
...

Yes, every business should have a website. Period. All of the excuses for not having one are just that, excuses.
