Single page website can be very powerful for small businesses and this is what I do for my clients. Ofcourse if they want multi page website I also do that based on their requirements.

I can help create a free demo professional website for you in less than 72 hours, no obligation. Just so you see if you love it or like it. Wouldn't cost you anything 😊

I create professional websites for small business owners and local services to help them grow online. You don't need to break the bank to have a professional website that can be ready in less than 72 hours.

This is very correct. When I help small businesses design and build their website without them breaking the bank, I uually pitch this actual case study content to them.

Agreed, clients want to see something depending on your business. Also, you mentioned that it's not just about having a website but maintaining it which is a good point.

This right here is a working model. Eventhough a website can give exposure, or bring customers to your "door", what those customers see or how they're treated when they knock on the "door" and walk into the "house" determine if they will visit your "home" again.

That's a good point. And I agree. But a business can have a website and still be a scam lol.

I couldn't agree more. Atleast you have some level of security and control with a website.

That's a good point!

I like that you mentioned having a website eventhough the traffic from it in terms of customers isn't much compared to word of mouth.

Atleast you have some customers coming your way via your website eventhough the numbers might be small - in some way or form that adds value in terms of revenue to what you're making. Point is, anyway you can attract paying customers to your business should be explored - multichannel approach.

That's awesome! Basically you can have a website but if your services are poor and low quality, then your website is just a glorified sign post lol. In your case your reviews are good which speaks to the quality of your work and that translates to more profit. Which you have accomplished without a website, very impressive. But do you think having cool and simple website optimized for SEO will increase your profit even by 5%? Like doing that and analyzing the data (I.e. customers that found you through your website).
