Do you have one?
How long have you had one?

Just curious is all. With this day and age I thought everyone would have one, but I see many who don't. I just wonder why.

Do you have one?

Yes

How long have you had one?

Two years

What is the one thing you look for in a website?

Easy to find what I'm looking for and lots of information so I can make an informed decision about whether I want to do business with that person or company.

If you don't have one, what is keeping you from getting one?

I was afraid of what it would cost. Having it made wasn't an issue, but since I had NO idea what I was facing, I was afraid of the domain and hosting.

Even after buying my surprisingly cheap domain, I balked at the hosting fees. It took me a little while to tell myself that the hosting fees are no more than the cost of one lunch out per month! Something I would barely feel!

Actually building a quality website is still not for the faint of heart, even with all of the do-it-yourself software out there. But I believe it's an investment worth making if you're serious about your business.

depends on the website that i'm looking at. for example with a blog i look for information and a site that is easy to read. all sites should be easy to navigate or have a search on it so you can find something.

Yes, a number of them.

How long have you had one?

Coded my first site (an online catalog for homeschoolers to accompany the printed mail-order catalog) in 1994. So 15 years. Wow, that's like 200 in human years.

If you don't, do you ever think about getting one?

n/a

What is the one thing you look for in a website?

Don't understand the question. There isn't any "one thing" I look for unless it's to meet whatever particular need I'm addressing.

Do you have one? Yes I do have one.

How long have you had one? I've had it for a year.

What is the one thing you look for in a website? If I had to choose one single thing, it would have to be content of a site. There's no point of having a website that doesn't have useful content to the visitors. Design is very important too.

Not too sure about the line of questioning, but one thing I can say is to get your own URL and pay for the hosting. You will get listed quickly and getting traffic to your site is the most important thing.
