Business conundrum

There are lots of things that are important when creating a business website……but where to start? Each bit needs another bit….but which bit first?
It is a real conundrum – The first thing to decide is: Have you got a business in the first place?
Always remember to have the final image in your mind, project who you are first of all.
It is important for your business to survive and and get your website accepted by the search engines. With time, maturity will make you more successful. Being around on the web for a few years is better than being the new kid on the block – just hang in there and create a successful history around your business.
Most websites suffer from unoriginality; they belong to the herd of mediocrity and banality. Write a controversial blog or web page – but be warned  –  a few minutes later, a thousand bloggers will be parodying it with their unique take on the concept. Get the solo part in the choir – at least for a short while. Click – copy – paste. Click – copy – paste. Click – copy – paste. Click – copy – paste etc.
