Do you really need a website?
The world as we know it is changing. Just a few years ago all you had to do to get more business than you needed was to run a three line ad in your local newspaper.
Now, the largest newspapers in the country have gone bankrupt. Phone book publishers are laying off employees by the thousands. When was the last time you opened up the phone book to look for a phone number? Change is the only thing that we can truly rely on. The big question is how can you take advantage of those changes? In 1901- President of Michigan Savings Bank said- "The horse is here to stay but the automobile is only a novelty, a fad.” Imagine how profitable it was for those who took advantage of the changes that resulted from the automobile. Do you think those who didn't take advantage of the changes were effected? What's stopping you from building a web presence?
