Before starting, let’s take a look at some of the facts- In 2016 India had around 460 million internet users which is around 34.8 % of the total population . Other than that India is the second largest online market, ranked only behind China. By 2021, there will be about 635.8 million internet users in India. Well that sounds quite encouraging!
Now let’s have a look at another aspect- Recent surveys shows that in India, more than 50% of small business especially in the production sector does not have any online presence and most of them have no intention of building one in near future. Now that is quite surprising, isn’t it? Even in this competitive era when clients prefers to search the company on Google, people are hesitating to build their online presence ignoring the fact that a great website design can add magic in their business and can help them in standing out as a brand.
Here are some of the most common excuses that business owners make when asked about a website.
