A recent Linkedin post got some traction by suggesting that not all businesses need a website. Which honestly, is a bit of a headscratcher.  As my friend Tim Peter wrote in a counterpoint, that's like saying you don't need a phone number or an email address to run a business. On this week's episode, I talk through why you DO need a website, even if it's just a simple one. I discuss the types of websites and their function; and give some pointers on how to work with freelancers or an agency to build one for your business. And if you want an example of a simple Wordpress site that didn't cost an arm and a leg, check out my new site for Solent Strategies.
