Do I need a website for my small business
Do I need a website for my small business splits into the honest yes, the rare not-yet, and a licensing myth worth clearing. A business whose customers compare providers before calling needs one, because the comparison happens on screens you do not control otherwise. The not-yet cases are real but narrower than the owners asking usually hope.
The cases for yes
Your customers search before they call; your competitors show licences, reviews and photos while your profile shows a phone number; your ads and profile need somewhere to send people that you own. A site also outlives platform rule changes that a social page lives under.
The honest not-yet
A full order book with zero marketing spend and zero search presence can defer the site; so can a business selling only through a marketplace that owns the whole relationship. Both cases should still own their domain name now, because the good one will not wait.
Do I need an LLC to start a website?
No. A website needs no business entity; an LLC is a legal and tax decision separate from publishing a site. Plenty of sole proprietors run sites, and plenty of LLCs have none.
What the first site should be
A handful of fast pages, the trust elements, a booking or quote path, and someone keeping it current; that is exactly the small business website design plan at $69.99 a month with the setup fee currently waived.
