All businesses need a web site these days to be in business. It's more important than a yellow pages ad. But it can be much more expensive and take much more knowledge to create than a yellow pages ad. When you're struggling to get your business off the ground, how can you find the time and energy to put together a web site, too, especially if you're not a computer person?
