is it necessary for my company to have it's own website?

Companies are starting to create their own website and as time goes by, I hear more companies are joining the trend. Should I also join the trend and make a website for my company? Is it really necessary for a company to have its own website? What are the benefits of making a company website? What are the down side to not having one?

Making your own website would be very beneficial for you and your company. Your email marketing would be more effective, you'll get more traction in search results, you won't be at the mercy of social media and you'll look more legitimate. Without a website, most people would not be able to buy products online and most people tend to lthink that companies with their own website are more legitimate.

Should I make a mobile app for my business?

Hi everyone! I came across a new online bank app in Singapore, Lucy, and wanted to share. My friend told me about it when I needed to take out extra money, and was going to reach out to a moneylender. I’ve asked my boss for money a few times already, but felt embarrassed to ask again. All I had to do was friend my boss on Lucy, and I was able to request for a loan from her on the app itself. 1. It let me select my loan amount 2. Allowed me to choose loan for how many months 3. Let me choose how much money to pay back monthhly I could even add a personalized message, which was then sent to my boss. My boss accepted my request, and now the both of us are able to see my loans and when I’m paying back. SO much easier! And now I am not embarrassed anymore :) I take loans when I have to, and also have a way to track when to return it.
