More than 3 billion have access to the internet and internet users worldwide are estimated to grow with easy access to the internet connection in the time to come. Currently, it’s safe to say the internet is the first place where people look for information. For instance, when someone would search “Restaurants in Marbella” and your restaurant website is not up and running, you’re not going to show up on Google, Yahoo, Bing or anywhere. The website is an easier way to inform your potential customers what you offer and where are you situated.
