The absence of a corporate web presence in today’s age is not only inexcusable, it’s devastating. If you don’t have a corporate website and investors (or prospective investors) want to find more information about your business, where will they look? Maybe they will find it somewhere else. In any event, you already have a big strike against you.

For those public companies that do not have a corporate website, I question their rationale for this being the case. Is it that they don’t want investors to be able to readily find their corporate and financial information?  If so, they don’t have a good understanding of what it means to be ‘public’. Or perhaps the rationale is that they simply can’t afford or justify the cost of having a corporate website? Again, if your company can’t afford a corporate website, why are you a public company?
