You Can Only Make a First Impression Once
If you are an artisan that usually trades at farmers’ markets and fares then you can set up an online store with WordPress plugins such as WooCommerce and Maintaingo. However, your website is often the first point of contact, or the only point of contact for many of your customers and having the right website is a critical part of business development, marketing and public information strategies. An outdated, inaccurate or just plain old ugly website will deter new customers, leaving them with a feeling of mistrust of your professionalism and products. Ongoing web maintenance is the best way to give new customers the best first impression.
