In almost every business publication there are articles telling us how, as a small business, we need to have a website. This is very true! The Internet is where most people go to find a product or service that they are interested in or may have heard about. And, if your business is capable of serving customers throughout the globe, what better way to keep your information available to that huge target audience than a web presence?

So, you either do the website yourself or you hire a web designer (who knows the latest trends and techniques) to put together a website that will help bring in new clients. You spend a great deal of time compiling the content and working out the details to make sure that your site has all the information that your visitors will want.

Finally it goes live and except for putting your website address in the signature lines of your emails, on your promotional material, and mentioning it when you get a chance, you just leave it sitting there.

Many people don’t update their website as much as they should. Perhaps they change the home page whenever something is worth mentioning and maybe add archives of articles and newsletters. But, the remaining pages are rarely changed.

Your website is a piece of advertising that is always available to be seen so it needs to be kept up to date. They say that people need to see your company name seven times before they take action, but that doesn’t mean they can’t see our company name seven times in seven different ways.

When visitors come by your website, they see what you have to offer. They may even have to return many times in order to see everything that your site has to offer. But, they may not continue to return if they find that there is nothing new for them to look at.
