  1. Tips for a successful websiteSet realistic goals.
    Many people just think "I need a website" and don't think about it's return on investment, then wonder why they are disappointed when it hasn't paid for itself within the first month.

    Realise that it takes time to build a profile for your website and that it's benefits may not be directly translated into sales immediately. Has it reduced the number of routine calls you receive requesting information? Or reduced printing and postage costs of sending brochures? Have you measured these benefits?

  2. Good design.
    Ensure your website is designed to be: visually appealing, fast loading and easy to navigate. It should also be search engine friendly. If your website isn't found in search engines, your business is missing out on a large number of potiential visitors.

  3. Update your website on a regular basis.
    People will keep returning to your website if the information on it it current.

  4. Seek feedback.
    Invite people to comment on your website, customers, friends, suppliers etc. Their suggestions could just save you money - or bring in more business. You can review your competition's websites to get ideas too.

  5. Obtain quality link to your website.
    Approach industry associations, customers, suppliers and other relevant websites and ask them to review your website with the offer of reciprocal linking. The more links to your website, the better your rankings in Google search engine and the more opportunities potential clients have to get to your website.

  6. Monitor your website traffic.
    Review your website statistics to see how visitors find your website and what keywords they are searching for. These statistics will tell you if paying for inclusion in an industry specific directory is worth the annual fee and if you should update your content to include more information on specific terms.
