I spoke with a friend recently who started his own gift ware business and he sells to retailers. He told me that it doesnt make sense to have a website because his clients are retailers and retailers dont make large orders through websites. In fact its very common for many wholesalers not to have websites. If they do have them then it just has their contact info. As for other entrepreneurs , the problem with new websites is that they take time, money, and worst of all, focus away from starting up the new business. But I do agree with you to some extent. The first thing many new entrepreneurs get asked is "what's your website". So if a simple website could be done without to much work and attention then in might be a good idea to get one started. But sometimes the first few steps, registering a name, finding a hosting plan and so on can take a lot time to get through. It also depends on the type of business.
