What a new business needs first
A new business has to be found, and to convert its first visitors into clients, often with nobody to answer the phone while the founder works.
- A simple website that says what you do, where and for whom.
- One clear way to get in touch, with the hours when you answer.
- Something that answers when you cannot: a chat that replies to the usual questions and takes contact details.
