I'd imagine it's all about comfort. If you are not comfortable having one, don't. Not all ladies have one and many do just fine. Looking at the NY board you seem to be very popular even without it.
and thank you yes I have been very lucky to date
Still I get asked about on all the time. I feel like maybe I have to have one . Maybe I don't I haven't yet Kendall
You shouldn't have to do anything you don't want to. As you stated, anyone who contacts you can get pics. Reading some of these responses I get the feeling they think you don't have any.
Two other things to consider. You said you don't want "world wide" exposure. Having a website does that and it may even open you up to lurkers and idiots like the one you posted about last weekend.
Second, if a guy is really interested and wants to know more about a lady, they will find the info one way or another. If I am interested in a lady but she doesn't have a website, I check her posts, as well as her phone, email or PM and if all that fails I'll even contact a couple of her previous reviewers.
In your case, you post enough and some well-established hobbyists can vouch for you. That says more than you might think. Plus, your profile clearly lists your email. So when you post, it's not that hard for a hobbyist to simply click your "review" icon and see your email.
In the end I think you've done a good job getting your name out and it doesn't seem like anyone who might want to meet you is gonna have to jump through hurdles to get in touch.
Good luck.
You can post pics and more info, on unitedstatesatnight.com.
Their ads are divided by city, organized and they give you a full page layout for your pics and info for a low monthly fee. Give it a try
To an extent it depends on how busy you want to be. My ATF doesn't have a site but she is UTR. Repeat business and some trusted referalls are all she needs to keep as busy as she wants to be.
Now, if you want reviews you have to at least have an ad running. In all honesty, when I look at your TER profile I see a lot of good reviews but no current site and no new reviews. One of those things is not necessarily a problem but both is a bit of a turn-off. How do I know if you are even still available? Yes, I can call or email but many guys won't. They will just move on to the next gal with a site or current ad.
This is just my 2 cents and you should take it for exactly what it's worth...You should do whatever you feel comfortable doing.
Kendall, you'll be getting a new review next week. 
Don't start anything you're not comforable with... if you're happy where you are right now without one, why start now? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
(Sorry, couldn't help myself on that one.)
But seriously, I think that without a site, or at least a link to an ad site with some pictures of you, your prospective base is going to be quite diminished which would be a shame because you have some fine reviews.
I just sort of feel like it is the world wide web and I am not really lookingto go world wide .Not looking to go much more than nation wide if you will not to mention the zillions of hits they get from people who will never ever see you and are just sort of entertaining themselves.
Then there is the conceeded thing i feel odd about it . Look how beautiful I am !!!, ick . I am not suggesting I think the girls that have one are ...I know the guys like to see all the girls but idk .I don't think it is for me .
I am not looking to increase volume or my number of days at all so idk that it would be helpful for me. Still undecided. Kendall
for a first date are, in order of importance, pictures, reviews, services, and price. Some guys might rank these factors differently (a few guys use the real estate approach-pictures, pictures, and pictures) but I’m guessing the majority would agree with this.
If you have no pictures at all, you obviously sacrifice the single most important marketing factor to get that first call from a new client.
But, if your volume of business is sufficient to meet your goals already as you suggest, then I see no reason to do it, unless and until your business volume declines, or if TER at some point requires a web site with the TER badge as a condition to maintaining your profile.
Given the plethora of free sites that you can customize, and the use of blurs or angles to hide your face, it is difficult to see any down side for having a web site. You can use one without sacrificing your privacy or incurring significant expenses.
I'll confess that several times I've read your posts and thought "H'mm" but then looked at yur profile and noticed no pictures and moved on.
on the lady's reviews (not scores so much as narrative) and anything she offers in terms of a self description than I would on pictures, I can't imagine myself making a date without seeing pictures. Some ladies who do not post pics on the web offer to email them after you've been screened, which works out fine, as they often are more revealing and include face shots.
Maybe I am shallow, but I love to see a lady's site for a number of reasons: I love to see what she feels is important and how she likes to present herself. In the end, the best providers, those who stay with me, are the ones who I would love to spend time with even if sex were not involved. There are some of those who have retired and I haven't seen in years, but they stay in memory and if one of them called and asked to meet me for dinner, no sex because she is retired and married, I would be there. In fact, if one of them called and said she or a family member was really sick and could I come out to where she was and go to the hospital and help her understand what was happening, I would also be there.
Secondly,I love to see a person, particularly her face. I am sorry if that makes me shallow.
That all being said, you should not do anything that makes you uncomfortable just to please me. You seem to be very popular without a site.

When I'm deciding to see a new lady, I based my decision on several factors: am I attracted to her; does she provide the services I seek; does she provide a high level of service; do I feel that her looks are in line with her level of service?
When a provider doesn't have a web site or ad with pictures or rates, I'm missing two critical pieces of information that I base my decision on (attractiveness; rates). I never assume that the rates listed on a providers reviews profile page are correct since rates are subject to change and the rate listed is generally from the first person who did a review.
I'll give you an example of how this might play out. There's a provider in my local city who has great reviews, is an active poster and frequently has admirers who post about their great experiences with her. I've often thought that she might be someone I would want to see, but I don't know what she looks like. Therefore, I don't see her.
While I hope this was helpful, ultimately, you should do what makes you feel comfortable.
It saves the time of a phone call back and forth and endless emails..your rates your availability everything they might ask should be right there for them to read!

but after the sight of your site, I might never ever be able to get you out of my mind.
I think a well done website is a saavy investment. I don't care much for the free websites, but it depends very much on how you want to present yourself.
When thinking about seeing someone new, a good web site gives me more insight into the lady. I don't mind if the face is blurred for privacy.
It also tells me that the lady is usually serious about her business and less likely to be a flake. I don't mind the template sites, to me they are better than nothing. Hope this helps
I don't have a site, but I'm not the business person. Do whatever you are comfortable with. But if you want/need MORE business, then a simple web site (even without face or revealing pics) seems to be necessary.
I do wonder if providers are able to setup a site anonymously to minimize LE risk? Cash credit card to pay monthly fee, anonymous web browsing to obscure IP address of home, etc? Impossible to be completely anonymous if someone looks close enough, but I am a bit paranoid.
