Think of your website as your online shop or office. Provide your website visitors with relevant information to help them in their decision-making.

• Clearly communicate what you do
• Demonstrate the benefits of your products and services
• Add pricing and other detailed product and service information
• Include your contact information - business address, phone number, email address, hours of operation

Your customers are visiting your website to obtain information about what you do. Help them find the information they seek quickly and easily.  Most good websites have the following basic pages:

• Home Page - provide a summary of what you do. Add photos and videos if you have them
• Products and Services - showcase what your business is offering, add photos and include pricing and images.
• Contact Us - give customers a means of contacting you to directly. Add your phone numbers and email address

Other pages you may want to add are:

• About Us - tell customers about your business story, your team, mission, vision and values
• Feedback (optional) - adding quotes from satisfied customers can help build your credibility

First impressions count, even online. The image you present online will affect the impressions your customers create about your business.

• Add your business logo
• Add photos of your products and business
• Create slideshows or add videos on your home page. This helps first time visitors to your site get an immediate understanding of what you offer
• Make sure your content is accurate. Misspellings and bad grammar can turn some customers off. Take the time to make sure your site truly reflects your business profile

Fresh and relevant content will keep customers and website visitors coming back often.  

• Update your website, especially your homepage, with news on new products or service offerings, promotions, business development
• Ensure that there is always an accurate phone number and email address for them to contact you through
• Remember to remove information on products or services that you no longer offer
• Refresh photos of your products from time to time
