📅 - To help small businesses secure an online presence, Web hosting firm Webolution LLC (webolutionllc.com) announced on Wednesday that it has begun offering e-commerce solutions.
"Every expert forecast I've read tells the same story, if your business isn't online then you won?t be competitive," said Ron Harper, Webolution LLC president. "Customers expect businesses to have an online presence, even if it only gives basic information such as what they do, hours of operation and location." Harper says it only makes sense to focus on small businesses to encourage them to adopt e-commerce solutions. "Contrary to popular belief, small businesses are the core of the US economy," he said. "They employ over 90 percent of all employees and create more jobs than larger corporations and that's every year, across nearly every segment of the US economy. Larger companies and corporations normally have all the in-house resources needed to conduct business online. Small businesses just don't have that luxury."
