The Good and The Bad

Examples of What to Do and Not to Do on Your Business Web Site

A "bad" Web site will make potential customers question your business.

Too often poor Web sites:

  1. Have poor navigation
  2. Overpower the actual message that is trying to be delivered
  3. Look as though they were created by an amateur
  4. Have poor quality pictures
  5. Contain links that don’t work
  6. Make it difficult to find information 

This is not the image you want to give to your customers.

What kind of a first impression do you want to give?

Take a look at the Web site below and think about your first impression.
