i work as a web developer , much more front-end , but sometimes i feel that i'm taking money from the client and i'm 100% sure that the website isn't going to have any impact on the company's marketing ,i mean it's just for the prestige , people are often fascinated by website , but they don't
know exactly why they need it , i might be wrong , but in some cases building a website is not useful at all ,if the company has already a presence in social media who'd like to visits the website , is they can display their products in SM and contact client ,show their last news ... etc so why we create the website
Excited to hear your thoughts ....

As a company, you'll want full control of your online appearance, which you don't have on platforms. Often you may not be able to comply with regulations on other platforms, like having to have a T&C-Page. And often it's not much cheaper to maintain a platform-page than a website. You still need (marketing-)personell to handle updates, news etc.
I think the draw is that the upfront cost is super low on facebook.
Versus whatever it is your contractor dude or dudette wants to charge.
Wait to see what governments across the world do with facebook. It looks like their business model is under a big threat right now.
A lot of people are also tired of facebook's constant scandals and moving to other sites..
I wouldn't worry about it too much.
If you are on facebook still yourself though, nuke your account like i did, out of your own best interest ;)
PS - i don't know how old you are, but AOL was once in the position facebook was in - IE a near monopoly on everything the internet had. Eventually that fell apart. I think facebook will fall apart soon as well, as most people who use it are dissatisfied with it and open to alternatives.
