Not many businesses can do without a website these days; I see more and more businesses use websites as their main source of income.

Small business these days are getting it wrong as far as creating a great website that will pull in profits for them. On the other hand big corporations have the money and the team of webmasters to do the job correctly thus pushing the medium to small size business to one side.

What Is The Answer?

I have been to a lot of websites and I have seen some great graphics and logos about the company. But I didn't see much about how to help the customer, what the customer needs, how they can help the customer, not a lot of information for the people going to the site in the first place.

So the first thing that small business need to do is stop advertising themselves and think about what people want when they come to the site in other words put yourself in the shoes of the customer when building your websites.

Has a lot of information for them and stop advertising the business, this would greatly help getting more visitors to your site thus more profits for your company.

You can even try a survey to see what the customers really want on your website this would give you an excellent idea of how you could improve your website and give the customers what they want

Other Things To Consider

Could you imagine what a video could do for your site, I mean a video on your product instead of all those flashy banners on your site.

Think about it, people love to watch TV at home, it keeps them focused, and so does video's a good informational video would go a long way to keeping your customers interest.

Also you need to think about site navigation make it easy for people to navigate around your site.

And last but not least have information articles on your site, this doesn't make it look totally like an advertising site.
