Do
You Really Need a Web Site? There is
a lot of pressure on business owners to get online, these
days. They see other businesses setting up shop on the World
Wide Web, and often hear that they must be online in order to
survive. Most business owners are at a loss as to where to
start. They do not know how to create an online
presence, if the investment will pay off, and
they often do not have much money available for experimenting.
Unfortunately much of
the advice being handed around by design firms is wrong. The first
decision a business owner must make is whether a Web site will help his
business. That is not always and easy decision, but there are a few
simple ways to get started on the process: by taking our web site worry
