help to understand the importance of the web presence for businesses
especially the small enterprise.
70 % of the US households have web connectivity.

Of these 36% used English as the language. Of this U.S. alone accounts
for close to 200 million.

younger age profile. This means the web presence for any business is

services to a population who can afford them and also willing to buy
