Creating an effective business website

Many organisations create websites and spend substantial resources without really understanding how the website will affect their business. A poor website can be expensive, contribute nothing to your income or profits and can even put off potential customers and funders. A good website can increase your income, raise your profile locally and nationally and provide additional support and services to your customers and clients.
