It hasn't been mentioned yet, probably with good reason. We found out how important our site was just about a week before Thanksgiving, 2003. That points more to a dependency that's evolved as a result of having a web site.

How do you persuade someone that their website is important

The task has now become one to persuade the owner that his site is worth a continued investment of time, technology and $. Maybe one angle to use in your persuasion would be to point out just how 'wired' we are becoming, and that to remain unplugged is to fall behind.
