Why Businesses Need a Web Site
Businesses seek ways to expand their client base, improve customer service, or get the sale, establish a contact, or provide marketing info.
The 2020 lockdowns of many businesses and employees working remote, means a website became a key tool to reach and be found by your potential customers.
Since people became more reliant on online reviews, ordering online or researching products/services online instead of necessarily going to a business first, websites can benefit many businesses or non-profits.

Smartphones require responsive websites that "know" screen size and adjust automatically - Responsive websites make that possible. Most websites built in the last 3 years are responsive. However, if your website is older, you might take a look at it from a phone.
