Every self respecting business in today’s day and age has a web site. But how many really generate new business leads is a question that needs to be addressed.

Undeniably, a web site is your face to the world, a virtual storefront – and you would like it to be flawless.

  • How are current sales generated?
  • How do you find customers, and how do they find you?
  • What is your target market?
  • Do they use the Internet, and what is the level of their technical proficiency?
  • Who is your competition? Are they on the web?
  • How will you differentiate yourself from the competition?
  • Do you need to streamline communication with customers?
  • If you already have a website, how is it performing and what improvements would you like to see?
