The purpose of creating a website for your business is not just to increase your visibility—it’s also to increase your accessibility and revenue. Let’s be clear it’s important to drive traffic to your website, but you also have to make sure visitors know what to do when they get there.
The Internet is too big, and the kinds of people who are actually looking to do business don’t have that kind of time to dig through a website looking for what they want. Visitors want to see what you have to offer immediately. It’s all about convenience.
Therefore, make sure your site is clear about who you are and what you do. Very few visitors will make it to your site purely by a random accident. Above all the information should reflect a high degree of professionalism for the visitor to want to do business. A website is a must.
