“As an owner of a small business with no product or service that can really be sold online, do I need a company web site?”

The answer, there is very little that can’t be sold over the Internet. There are over 30 million people shopping online, buying everything from music to cars to real estate property. Research predicts that revenues will be over $300 billion in 2005 and will grow at a rate of 30 to 50 percent over the next few years. These numbers alone should be enough to persuade you that your business should be online.

Regardless of whether you sell your services or product online, you should at the very least have an online presence so that customers, potential customers, partners and even potential investors can easily and quickly find more information about your company, the products and services you have to offer, as well as how to contact you.
