Websites for businesses are more than just another way for selling products. A website is a 24 hour information hub about your business.
In the past people would search the phone book to find your business, and if you had paid extra, additional information about your business like your address and hours of operation might be available. More and more people are choosing the internet to find information about local businesses. If you do not have a website then the information found about your business is not in your control. If the information is incorrect and/or incomplete you won’t be able to update it. Having a website for your customers is a curteousy, providing at least basic information about your business.

In addition to basic information your website is a place to expand on information about your industry. If people are interested in more information they should be able to find it on your website, but if they have further questions your website can have a form to fill out and submit electronically so that you can get back to them when your business is open.

Local businesses should have a website so that locals and tourists can easily find the address, phone number, map or directions, information about your business, information about your products and services, and pictures or even video.

Without a website people will end up finding information from a competitor’s website, and you may lose potential customers, or at the very least you’ll frustrate your current dedicated customers.

You need a website if your business is located in Napa. The tourist industry in Napa is expanding. Visitors search the web before they visit the area so that they can plan out their trip ahead of time. Now with the rise of mobile phones ability to access the web, more tourists are looking to the web while they are on vacation. Tourists are certainly drawn to vacation related businesses, but may need other products or services when they are away from home. Any business could capitalize on visitors to the Napa Valley, as well as the locals.
