This is one of the most common questions I hear—from business owners just starting out to those who are already active and growing on Instagram.
And it makes total sense: Instagram is accessible, intuitive, looks amazing, and creates a sense of presence.
It feels like everyone is there, and that showing up is enough.
But is it really enough?
At some point, every business owner asks themselves:
Should I invest in a website, or can I rely on Instagram alone?
And here’s what’s important to remember:
Instagram is rented space –
not your home
When we build our entire digital presence on platforms like Instagram, we’re essentially building a house on someone else’s land.
The algorithm decides who sees you, when, and how often.
A post you worked hard on can disappear by tomorrow.
Even if you’ve gained thousands of followers, there’s no guarantee they’ll see your content.
In other words:
As long as you’re fully dependent on one platform, you’re not truly in control.
Your website is your digital asset
A website is your own stable, private, and branded space, presenting your business exactly the way you want.
It works for you 24/7, without relying on algorithms or trends.
You control the experience and create a clear path for visitors.
Your website can include:
A services page
Online store or catalog
Contact forms
Client testimonials
A blog
And anything else that supports your goals
A website builds trust, conveys professionalism, and gives your audience confidence.
So what’s right for your business?
The real answer usually isn’t “either-or” — it’s about knowing how to combine the two:
Instagram is great for visibility, emotional connection, and engagement
A website is where people go to learn more, dive deeper, and take real action
