Taking orders

You can provide support to existing customers via electronic/PDF copies of your manuals. You can also create an FAQ page to help reduce redundant questions coming in through phone calls and email.

Web Presence & Business First Impressions

Simply having a web presence. There is nothing wrong with wanting a web presence and potential clients will judge your business based on your web site.

It takes less than two-tenths of a second for an online visitor to form a first opinion of your brand once they’ve visited your company’s website. And it takes just another 2.6 seconds for that viewer’s eyes to concentrate in a way that reinforces that first impression. Given that tight timeframe, making a good first impression should be among your first orders of business.

Registrations and reservations
