6 aspects to keep your business website fresh

Just the other day my wife was looking for a podiatrist, so she went to her health insurance provider’s website to search for their preferred podiatrist partners. To her shock, the first number she tried on the list rang through to an accountant!

Your Website Really is Your Online Shopfront

Your Website Really is Your Online Shopfront

There was a time when having a brick and mortar location for your business was critical to success. After all, out of sight in many cases really is out of mind. Today, however, even the need for a brick and mortar location might be debated for many types of businesses, take eBay and online banks for example.
