Thinking about starting a business in 2025? Or wondering if your side hustle needs its own website? Here’s the truth:
If you want to attract more customers, build real credibility, and grow beyond your personal network, a website isn’t just a “nice-to-have”; it’s the foundation of your digital presence.
“But why does every Small Business need a Website in 2025?”
Let’s face it: everyone Googles everything. Over 97% of people search online for local businesses before making a decision. If your business doesn’t show up, you’re basically invisible.
A whopping 48% of people say a website is the #1 way they decide if a business is credible. In fact, 71% of businesses already have a website (Forbes, 2023). If you’re relying on Facebook or Instagram alone, you’re missing out on nearly half the market who want to see a real website before reaching out.
It’s not enough to just exist on social media. Your website is your home base:
Share customer reviews
Show off real projects
Explain your services
Capture leads through forms or bookings
Update your business hours, FAQ, or team info instantly
Getting your site to rank on Google isn’t as hard (or expensive) as you might think. Using an SEO plugin like Rank Math with WordPress can quickly set up your titles, meta descriptions, and structure, no tech degree required. Pro tip: SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is what gets your site onto Google’s first page organically (without paying for ads). And when someone searches “[your service] near me,” you want to be at the top.
Social media is great for connecting with local communities and building a brand voice. But those platforms control your reach. Your website is the only place you own, control, and customize—all in one place. After people see you on social media, the next thing they look for is your website. Don’t lose that opportunity.
Nearly every field can benefit. Some, like doctors, law firms, nail salons, tax preparers, and insurance agencies, require a website to compete. Others use it to publish helpful articles, collect online reviews, and make it easy for people to contact or book online.
Think of it as your command center. From here, you can:
Edit your pages
Add blog posts
Upload images
Manage contact forms
Customize your menu
And more
This is where your website design meets your website management.
