As you can see from this chart the value and importance of a website has increased since their last study, which was conducted in 2014. 36% of those surveyed stated that they are more likely to contact a local business if they had a website. At the same time there was an increase to 9% of people that will NOT contact a business if a companies website is ugly or outdated.
The days of not having a website for your company are over for anyone trying to grow their business. The importance of the internet is quickly spreading even into suburban and rural America. As internet access has grown and the explosion of the mobile web simply choosing to ignore the internet is no longer an option for business owners.
An investment into their digital identity is something that can be put on the back burner for any company looking to stay relevant in their industry. At Build Your Online we stay on top of the best ways to use the internet for each industry. The internet is a 24/7 operation that is always evolving, growing, and expanding.

The importance of your website being responsive increases daily as traffic on mobile devices increases as each day ends.
