Ask HN: What are the benefits of having a project webpage vs. GitHub README?

Aside from Google Analytics are there any other benefits to having a project webpage for an open source project?

Are there any guides or statistics on the impact of having a webpage vs just a github repo?

I'm artistically challenged, so I prefer to just have a README.md, but wondering if I'm missing out by not doing so? I'm currently at ~450 stars with just readme and an asciicast gif: https://github.com/aelsabbahy/goss

However, I noticed other open source projects in this same category have webpages.
