| Tuesday, October 24, 2006 When it comes to first impressions, you know the saying; they are lasting. I have questioned that saying before, wondering if in fact it is really true. Let me tell you, it is! I recently searched for a local gardening center's website (with a reputation as a very posh gardening center I might add). Well, when I finally found the website - what a disappointment! First there was this terrible music, then the site - was such an embarrassment. My impression was changed. It's important to rememebr to address all apects of your business with the same level of effort. Consistancy is key and maintaining a good furst impression. How does your website look? What does it say about you? |
