Why Many New and Small Businesses Lack Websites
Summary
The Internet has leveled the playing field, allowing small businesses to compete with larger companies by projecting a professional image, according to Steve Strauss, a columnist on Microsoft.com and author of the Small Business Bible. Despite this potential, many small businesses still lack a website.
In the UK, the Department of Trade and Industry's Companies House registered 36,571 new limited companies in May 2007, with many still offline. Gary Crawford, Managing Director of Crawford Creations, highlights that only 10 out of 250 newly registered UK companies had websites. This indicates a trend driven by concerns over costs and technical know-how.
A New Economics Foundation (NEF) report noted a significant decline in local UK businesses between 1995 and 2000, losing about one fifth of local shops and services to larger retailers. This trend impacts community spirit, particularly in rural areas.
Why Aren't Small Businesses Online?
Crawford points out that the unregulated web design industry has sometimes led to negative experiences for businesses. However, many companies now offer simple and affordable web solutions, making it feasible for small businesses to establish an online presence.
With the rise in online consumerism, having a website is more essential than ever. Small businesses can seize the opportunity to improve their reach and compete effectively with larger entities.
By tapping into these resources, small businesses can harness the benefits of a professionally designed website, ensuring they don't miss out on the opportunities the digital age presents.
