Tips on building your web site
1. Spend the time to think about what your customers are looking for, or need, when visiting your web site.
2. Your content must be up-to-date and answer customer questions in a clear and concise way. You should also ensure that your contact details are current. With SiteBuilder, you can login at anytime and edit content when needed.
3. You should respond to enquiries from the web site within a reasonable period of time to show your commitment to customer service. It will give your customers confidence to communicate with you online.
4. When designing your web site and writing your content, make sure you include keywords and terminology about your business in the content. This will ensure that your web site receives more "hits", if and when you register your web site with a search engine.
5. Finally, spend the time developing your web site to ensure it looks professional and represents your business favourably.
