		<description><![CDATA[I've heard many small-business owners say they think they "should" get a website. They're not quite sure what they will do with it, but they've been told they should have one.

In most cases, they're right. A website can be an important marketing tool for almost every small business, but there are a few exceptions. If you have as many customers as your business can handle and you have no desire to grow larger, then there's no point in marketing on the Internet. But that is not the case for every business!]]></description>

One part of my business is critiquing small business web sites - and I've run across several of them that are so horrendous that there is only one possible explanation: the owner became inexplicably attached to part of his web site, and refused to let it go.]]></description>

It may be as simple as your website's look and feel and layout. It could be the fact that your website is unprofessional or is difficult to navigate around. A website says a lot about your company. Whatever the reason, it CAN be fixed.]]></description>
