• Create a presence. Who knows about your business? Where can prospects and clients go to learn more? Often a client may search for your business online before engaging with you. Your website conveys professionalism. It also extends your reach to anyone in the world.
• Helps build trust. New clients and prospects might want to know about your business history, your expertise and your specialization. This is a great vehicle for people to learn more and attain that comfort level they seek.
• Get listed on search engines like Google. Build your website incorporating search engine optimization (SEO) techniques so that you can easily be found by people searching for relevant key words. This can be an important gateway to expanding your business.
• 24/7 customer service. Think of your website as a 24-hour sales staff. It runs without any supervision or need to lock it up. You can always be there for your customers.
• Email@mycompany.com. Having a website you can have your own email address such as info@mycompany.com. To prospective clients it looks more professional and easier to remember. You may love your somebody94@gmail.com, but it doesn’t really resonate with customers or investors.

A domain name (www.yourbusinessname.com) is the address by which your business is known on the Internet. Because this name can be requested by any business, the name may be available for a short time only (if it’s not already taken)! A domain name is registered with a domain registrar for a minimum of 1 year. If the registration is not renewed, the name becomes available for purchasing by the rest of the world.
