Reasons for Creating Websites
Whether you have a retail business or offer a service you will benefit from creating a website. There are some examples further down the page of websites for different types of business.
The other popular reason for publishing a website is simply to make money. Yes, there is money to be made, and you will read about people who make tens of thousands of dollars a month. But be warned, these are the exceptions, not the rule. However it is possible to make some money, but probably don't expect to retire on your income!

Your website may advertise and give information about your main business - check out http://www.limebrook.com for an example.
The benefit about publishing a website is that there is no one to tell you that you cannot do it, or that you are not good enough. Before the internet people who wanted to be a published author had to convince a publisher they were worth investing in (or pay a large amount of money to publish their own books!). Now anyone can publish for free, and their work can be read by people all over the world.
This does not mean that quality has to suffer - just as books either become best sellers or end up being in remainder bins (or of course do quite well in between), websites are either popular or fail. If your website is not up to scratch you won't find you have many visitors - or they won't stay around for long!
For whatever reason you my have for creating websites, it is best to put as much effort into it as possible, and make it a quality product. If you want to promote a business through the world wide web quality is critical.

Whichever idea for a website you have you should spend a little bit of time looking at the competition. Get an idea of how others have approached creating website, how they have set out the pages, the number of topics etc.
