Having a good website is always good to have.  Even if you have a business that is not driven by your website.  That site says something about your brand that very few things can.  This is why when we were looking for a new designer we wanted to get somebody local.  The San Jose web designer that we eventually went with was found though a website that had a big list of all the area designers.  We were pleased to be able to file through the work by each team or persons.  It was a great way for us to choose.
