Im wondering if I should, there's no real risk there and wondering it'd be ok for a few jobs without one. Im not tryna go bankrupt and ruin my life lol
I've been browsing local business websites lately and started noticing the same things over and over.
Slow loading pages, giant paragraphs nobody reads, contact info hidden in weird places, sites that look okay on a computer but are almost unusable on a phone.
What surprised me is some of these businesses actually have good reviews and seem to do solid work. Their website just doesn't reflect it at all.
Made me wonder how many businesses think they have a traffic problem when people might just be leaving because the experience is frustrating.
Curious if other business owners have noticed this too.
Do you think websites still matter much for local businesses now, or are people mostly finding businesses through social media and Google?
