What to Consider When Starting a Web Site

You may find it hard to believe, but there are a lot of businesses out there that have yet to build an online presence. These businesses should really reconsider this for a plethora of reasons.

Improve Your Site And You Can Improve Your Business

I am constantly running into small business owners who are very concerned about the Web. They typically fall into two groups: those that have a Web site and those that don't.

One Way That Your Customers Can Save Gas...

This kind of ties into David Utter's recent article on saving your customer's fuel costs. I think that most of you would agree with me that these gas prices are getting ridiculous. Believe it or not, your customers are probably thinking the same thing every time they go to fill their tanks. Chances are that many of these same customers are also trying to think of ways to cut down on the amount of gas they use, if nothing else, just to save some money.
