What is a Web site and why do I need it?

 

In general, a web site is a place on the Internet that can be used to present something to the Internet audience. A website is like a necessity in today’s society. Millions of new users are connecting to the Internet from any part of the world at any time. People use the Web to do almost everything, including banking, shopping, and researching. Not only is it quick, convenient and easy, but also it is always a changing environment.

Newly updated sites always appear and there are always new things to explore on the Internet because of its comprehensiveness. A website is like a phone number, it is the first place people look before they do business with your company. If they don’t find you, they will then find your competitors. A website could present vital company information to the prospective client. Thus, there are endless opportunities on the Internet.
