Your Facebook Page is not a Website substitute
A lot of businesses are using Facebook. Facebook gives businesses a great opportunity to promote their products and services. However, a Facebook page should not be seen as a substitute for their own website.
Some businesses don't even bother with their own website, preferring to use their Facebook page. Indeed some businesses that do have their own website focus more on building their Facebook fan base and updating their Facebook page and forget about their own website.
Your website should be the main hub your online presence. All your blogging, news and events should be focused on your own website. Then simply post the web address of your piece of news on your Facebook page to let all your friends and fans see it first. The best plan is to use Facebook to communicate with customers and potential customers and then send them to your own website to see your news and offers.

Remember, YOU own your own website - Facebook is beyond your control.
Have you ever thought would happen all of your friends and fans on Facebook if it folded up tomorrow?
They would simply disappear. Facebook wouldn't even need to fold for this to happen. They could close your account for violating some new terms and conditions. In the future, Facebook may even ban pages it perceives as business related or move them to a new business related social media network.
That is why you need your own business website which you can control and will continue as long as you maintain it.
Do you need your own business website even though you can use Facebook to communicate with your customers?
Absolutely. Facebook is something you do in addition to your your own website, not instead of. Most of the Internet is not on Facebook. It's big within some circles, but most people, and most of your own website's visitors do not (and probably never will) use Facebook. Not everyone on Facebook is as active on it as you are. Just look at your own Facebook page and you will see that it is the same small band of people posting on a regular basis.
Facebook is like "preaching to the converted" and will not attract many new customers. New customers should be converted by your own website and then directed your Facebook page if they are a Facebook user. And remember, most of them probably are not!
