You only have to think about the good or bad websites you have come across and whether or not they made you want to do business with that company to see how important it is to get it right.

Any small business thinking about investing in a website needs to start with a couple of key questions:

• what are your business goals?
• will being able to reach new and existing businesses via a website help you achieve them?

If you decide that your website will help then you need to ask what do you want it to do:

• take orders? and / or process payments?
• be an online brochure?
• be a technical resource?

A good website os one which is clear and kept up to date. it must tell your customers what they need to know and quickly. You know yourself how long you stay on a website before deciding to move on.
