Why small businesses need a proper website
For most small businesses, your website is your first impression. It should answer the basics quickly: what you do, who it’s for, where you operate, and how to get in touch. If people have to search for the answers, they’ll move on.
A strong small business website is built around clarity and trust — not fancy features you don’t need. The result is a site that looks professional, loads fast, and encourages visitors to contact you.
