    I honestly want to fight businesses who don’t have a website.

    Website hosting is dirty cheap, domains are dirt cheap (relative to other costs of the business).

    If you’re a retail/hospitality venue your traffic is so low.

    If you point me to a Facebook or Instagram page as your only web presence (meaning, no organisation at all, just bloody chronological posts, and maaaaybe some useful information in the page bio), I’m gonna be annoyed.

    The number of times some business or organisation updates things on Facebook and Instagram, and not on their website, is frustrating.

    Has happened to me many, many times, where I turn up to something that isn’t happening because they’ve only posted it on Instagram

      I’ve been on websites for restaurants that they are clearly trying to do it themselves. The site is janky, has empty menus (or the same broken link 6 times), but I can access the restaurant menu easily so I don’t care.

      I’ve tried to get online menus for restaurant’s that only have Instagram or Facebook and it makes me really not want to order from them.
