By Creative Services, Website Design and Development, Wordpress Development

What happens after your website is completed and goes live? Can you simply sit back and watch the sales come in until it’s time to get another website years down the road?

That might sound like a riddle, but it’s actually a reminder that your website has a more important job than simply sitting online and bringing in visitors – it should be a good sales tool, too.  In fact, your website should be your company’s best sales performer. If you object to that statement, or doubt its accuracy, then consider these five reasons why your website has to do a good job of selling to be effective: 1.
