Are you online?In a recent Angie’s List CompanyConnect poll, 86 percent of respondents said they had a company website.
Of the respondents that didn’t have a company website,
49 percent don’t think their company needs one, but Bryan Tibbetts of Fresh Colors
Painting in Indianapolis says he thinks having a website has been great for business.
“There’s a place for people to go and see pictures and get information from the company,
” he says.
The expense of building and maintaining a website was somewhat of a concern for respondents.
Sixty percent of respondents with company websites hired an outside company to build their site
, and 46 percent use an outside company to maintain their site. Only 16 percent of respondents
with websites have their employees maintain the site. Forty-one percent of respondents without company
websites felt the expense of having a website was prohibitive.
