"Professional websites are the new résumés.
This is a good thing. Your information can be accessed more easily and frequently, it can be optimized to show up in search engines, you have more room to share your experience in a creative way, and most of all, you can quickly build your web presence, which is ultimately a synonym for your professional reputation.
The challenge is that not everyone has experience with HTML, coding, copywriting or marketing design. You may be a highly qualified expert in your field, but without correct online representation, your work could easily get lost among the noise. Hiring a professional to build your website and "brand" material (even if you are an individual) is always the best course of action. If that isn't a possibility for you, there are many pre-designed templates from hosting websites that can set you up pretty well."
