according to the SBA, only 64% of US small businesses have a website.<br> <br> Why? The long and short of it is that building a website is hard. I've spent over two years building websites and I'm <em>still</em> learning! But here's another number: 80% of consumers will visit your website before they visit your business (Blue Corona). To put it another way, <strong>visiting your website is visiting your business</strong>.<br> <br> So we know you need a website and we know they're hard to build, what's next? <strong>Let someone build it for you</strong>. And if you're a local business, why not hire another local business? <br> <br> Jerry Sutton's been building websites for 10 years - fun fact: that's longer than I've been allowed to drive a car. Not only that, but he's worked in marketing since 1987. So he knows what works and more importantly, what doesn't.<br> <br> To get going, call (410) 979-0089 or <a
