The Small Business Website Bible

By Stacy Karacostas

I'm so excited I'm just about to burstMy latest e-book "The Small Business Website Bible" is officially launched!!

This one is for all the entrepreneurs out there who have spent WAY too much money on a Website that doesn't do jack to grow their business. And all those who are worried about doing just that as they get their first Website up and running.

I teach a lot of workshops on Websites, and I've heard far too many horror stories Sometimes people get taken advantage of by Web designers or developers who sell them all kinds of fancy hoo-ha they don't need.

It reminds of those old tales of young women walking into the auto mechanics garage and getting taken to the cleaners because they didn't know the first thing about cars. That's not to say that all Web designers and developers are crooks (though there are a few, just like in any profession).

Other times, they just want to build you the kind of site they know how to build, or that everyone else in your field has.

What it really boils down to is that most Web people know how to design and build a nice Website. But they don't know a thing about sales and marketing. So they just do what they know how to do best. And that may or may not be what's best for your business.

So that means you have to know exactly what you want, and what you need your Website to do, before you ever hire someone to build the site for you. And that's exactly what this book is all about.

From the kind of site you need, to what you need to put up there, how to organize it, and even what all that crazy Web terminology means, this book covers everything a small business owner really needs to know about creating a Website that sells.

It's written in a totally non-technical way, so even if you don't the first thing about Websites and how they work you can learn the basics.
