Because it's really expensive for early stage startups

it's really required for all the Startups, but since it's not that expensive to make a website. (you basically just need a domain), so it's better if you have it

Bro your fristration is understandable. I think you should showcase killer examples of your work, explain ROI clearly, and make them realize why you are the game-changer they need.

I think now there is more platforms available that does the same work of a website . example whatsapp business profile now has features that lets us know information about the business

Maybe it’s trust issues or budget crunches

Yeah man a website = your startup’s first impression. These days toh in our virtual world a website is like a firm handshake and saying hello with confidence

From my experience, this happens due to a few key factors: lack of brand awareness, poor targeting, and no social proof. People won’t know about you unless you consistently post and reach the right audience. Plus, without testimonials or examples, clients may hesitate. Web design is competitive, so to stand out, you need a unique value proposition. If you're offering outdated designs, clients won’t choose you. For example, I recently worked on an animated website—it took months but was unique. Find your edge and show why you're different. It all comes down to how you analyze it. I've shared my perspective, but you have full control over your business, making it easier for you to identify and fix the issues from your own viewpoint.

most web developers, don't understand startup needs, Oversell unnecessary features, Can't explain ROI clearly, Price without value justification

As someone running a web dev agency for 6 years: You're missing the point. Websites aren't about leads, they're about: - SEO for long-term growth - Professional credibility - Customer support/documentation - Investment due diligence
