As a result of my articles in a computer magazine I now critique web sites
for a small fee. I have improved several sites - one in particular that
resulted in their sales tripled after they made changes I suggested. But
enough of the plugs (pun intended). I find that approx 60% of
organisations do not know what their web site is meant to be giving
them. Promotion, sales, reference data, enquiries, or because the
neighbour has one!!!!
