The search engines will help a great deal if you take care of those details first, but of course the work isn't done at that point.

It's very easy to build up your own website, but the hardest thing is keeping the traffic flowing to the website! After you've created the website/blog, you didn't just sit there and waiting for the people to knock on your door! Instead, you should figure out the effective ways to keep attracting more potential customers to your website. Remember that hard works pay off, and just like the old saying, "What comes around, goes around"... <abbr><em>wilhb81´s last blog post..<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/blogspot/wilhb81ez/~3/1G0IZa9qopU/useful-business-tips-32-incredible.html">The Useful Business Tips 32: The Incredible Telephone Customer Service Tips</a></abbr></em> Well, Mitch.

I think it is very common for new websites to suffer from two things: 1. If I build it, they will come. 2. Assuming people know what I do. But with millions of websites out there, it is very unlikely that people will just happen to stumble across your site, unless you optimize and promote it. And if they do, they won't stay unless you tell them what you do and how you can help them. If all I saw was "business solutions" I would yawn and click away. No offense meant, but what the heck does that mean? ~ Steve, the trade show guru <abbr><em>Trade Show Guru´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.trade-show-guru.com/2009/06/designing-trade-show-exhibits/">The Dirty Little Secret to Designing Great Trade Show Exhibits</a></abbr></em> Hey Mitch,

I think there has to be at least some kind of symbiosis between the designer and the client to try to determine what the client really wants. And if neither one is a writer, there's plenty of people who can help them with it. But the initial business stuff,... that should be a no-brainer, but it's often not. Good point, Dennis.

Back in the day web designers did just that and only that, designed and built the site. They had nothing to do with, hosting, domains, SEO, or even graphics for the most part...nothing but the site itself. Nowadays the term could mean anyone, or a combo, or all in one, and they really need to make that clear up front. <abbr><em>Dennis Edell´s last blog post..<a href="http://www.directsaleswebmarketing.com/who-wants-to-sponsor-junes-comment-contest/">Who Wants To Sponsor June’s Comment Contest!</a></abbr></em> Actually Mitch, it’s my experience that web design companies are among the biggest offenders in this area, mainly because the term “web design” has become quite ambiguous.

Do you get to the point early? Then again, a company with the name "unlimited webdesigns" doesn't leave much interpretation to chance. :-) Good way to go, Edward, but what about up front, with your website?

You don't know what they do, you can't contact them,... I also keep telling folks that unless they're a major company NOT to have something start playing when people visit the site. That irks the stew out of me. Absolutely right, Mirjam.
