Yes agree, ,, but one major thing I have learnt besides user frindly website etc is that educate/inform the customer for free about anything whether its how to use a new feature in a program or if ISP how to safety surf the web … tutorials, educate and the mass traffic usually comes, people come back for more answers as the last ones actually worked..

I agree with Jamie – phone number should be front and center on your homepage. A lot of people visit websites just to find your phone number.

Unique offers are important to capture information. Most people won’t just voluntarily submit their information, there needs to be something in it for them. Free valuable information is a great way to build trusted advisor status while at the same time gathering some information on people who are interested in what you have to say. That’s usually a good start in turning them into a customer or client.

I agree with RiseShineWrite – I would add for a must have is a professional site. With platforms like wordpress and joomla this should not be difficult to accomplish.

Adam, I agree with all 6 essential features. I would add a number 7 for highly visual and professional layout with plenty of eye catching images. When a user lands for the first time on a website the layout and graphics are the first credibility touch point. A dull plain website might suggest spamming, scams or not worthy content. Hitting the back browser arrow is easier than trying to figure it out. In that case, the other 6 essential features will never get a chance.

Contact info is they key, also business hours… even better if you have it displayed on every page in the header, footer or sidebar. So many times I’m trying to find a companies location, phone number or hours and have a hard time.
