Many sole proprietors and small businesses (even some larger companies) do not take time to implement these and other basic Best Practice Tips that can make all the difference to the exposure, appeal and usability of a site.

Many SMBs have websites built like a paper brochure just sitting online to send people to. Many even feel it is worth the money saved to write all copy in-house without optimizing, or taking time to understand and write for their customers, cutting the “unnecessary” cost of professional copywriting, editing and SEO (Search Engine Optimization). SEO is not just about keywords but attention to accessibility, readability, good usability and several other factors that make your site more easily found, crawlable and ‘sticky’.

These outdated, static, rarely updated sites are given little or no attention by search engines, have low traffic levels, do not encourage return visits, and do not enable or track activity – particularly the critical activity of conversion.
