Every Business Needs a Website

by | Sep 18, 2023 | Business Tips

Before the internet became a part of everyday life, finding a local business meant flipping through the Yellow Pages. Things have changed. Today, your website is your storefront—and for many customers, it’s the first place they’ll look before deciding to buy.

The small business website statistics back this up:

  • 73% of small businesses already have their own website
  • 81% of shoppers research a business online before making a purchase
  • 55% rely on online reviews, and 47% search directly for your website

So, what can a website do for your business?

  • Build credibility: A professional online presence signals trust and legitimacy to potential customers
  • Expand your reach: Connect with customers beyond your local area
  • Drive engagement: Features like live chat and customer reviews keep visitors coming back
  • Track performance: Use built-in analytics to understand your audience and optimize your content over time
  • Sell online: Turn your website into an e-commerce platform and let customers shop directly

iLocalEverywhere offers affordable WordPress website packages that include the DIVI theme, helping you get your business online quickly and effectively. Each package includes:

  • SSL certificates
  • First-year website maintenance free – includes the license for the Divi theme — the world’s most popular WordPress theme and visual page builder.

With Divi built into their website packages, your website stays easy to update, beautifully designed, and built for long-term performance — all without you needing to touch a line of code and pay for the DIVI theme license.

Ready to get started? Fill out their web design quote form or contact them directly at (440) 794-1414 — I’m sure they would love to help you find the right package for your business.
