I have recently opened a hardware store and my friends and family constantly keep telling me that I need to get a website up quickly.
As someone who doesn’t consider himself to be “tech savvy”, I fail to see the point in having one as I get enough traffic through my “plain” brick-and-mortar storefront.
Some questions for small business owners who already have a website or plan to get one would be:
What is your reasoning for creating your website?
Why not use Amazon, Shopify, or a similar platform?
Was it profitable?

    Our website is very basic. It’s one page about what we do and a contact us form. We’ll probably expand on it over time as we expand.

    We did it because we already had the domain. We had the domain for our email addresses.

    Nothing sketches me out more than a business that uses @gmail, @hotmail, etc. It just feels like you don’t take your business seriously enough to spend $50 and 2 hours on it, so why should I?
