Today, consumers are doing the majority of their shopping and research online, and they're assessing business' credibility by looking at their websites.

  • 59% of small business owners say their businesses grew after they built a website, according to GoDaddy.
  • 83% of small business owners with websites believe they have a competitive advantage over businesses that don't have a website
  • 94% of consumers cited web design as the reason they rejected or mistrusted a website, according to SME Web Statistics.
