Make A Good First Impression
What do you notice first about people? Perhaps their smile, hair, personality, voice, etc. Many of us work hard to make a good first impression. We wear braces for years to have a “perfect smile.” We practice how to walk, talk and make eye contact with people. We spend countless to maximize our social media reach. Why? Everyone wants to give the impression of professionalism, intelligence, and competence.
Paying the price and taking the time to make your business website look professional is 100% worth it. A business should be very concerned about their public image and how their business is portrayed to the rest of the world. When a potential customer looks at your website they should see up-to-date, innovative and professional content. Good business websites tell potential customers that your business is professional and knows what they are doing. Bad websites tell potential customers you are antiquated, out-of-date and probably incompetent.
