Remember going door-to-door as a kid on Halloween? It was all about the treats. Every kid on the block set out to see which house would have the best candy that year – the house with the biggest bunch of chocolates and lollipops. But there was always that one house that disappointed – nothing but boring snacks like apples and pretzels.
When it comes to websites, you might have the greatest business in the world, but if your website doesn’t look the part, you will instantly lose credibility. You only have one opportunity to make a good first impression. So, don’t be the disappointing house on the block – make sure your website is a chocolate-covered delicacy!
