Which business would you rather visit? The same holds true for your website, if people see a website that is not very good versus a quality website that represents the business well which one do you think they will gravitate towards?

Business Building Before

Business Building After

This is a business that put a good bit of time and money into making their business look presentable and welcoming, but when you look at their website in comparison it looks more like the building on the left than the nice looking building on the right. It is worth mentioning that a new website is a fraction of the cost of remodeling and has a great impact on the impression people get of your business.

What do you want your visitors to do?

Guiding visitors through your website and getting them to take action is important.
