In today’s digital age, your brand isn’t just what you post on social media—it’s what people experience when they search for you, connect with you, or hear your name in a room. While platforms like Instagram and TikTok are great for visibility, they’re not enough. You need a home. A hub. A foundation. You need a powerful website.
In the latest episode of For the Village, Brian James breaks down 16 reasons why having a professional website is essential.
