      A good website attracts people to come back and interact with it. While the criteria for what a good website is may change depending on who you ask, they typically have a range of standards. One factor that impacts the ability to have a standout website is the budget allotted. While it doesn't take a huge budget to have a decent website, it does take someone with a certain set of skills. The budget comes into play because you can hire someone with that skill set, or you can attempt it yourself. Heads up, the latter will almost always look better, especially when one compares a small business to a large corporation.     Two websites that are simply not great are Jami Lin's Passions  and Gates N Fences . Jami Lin's Passions lacks a clear concept. As one opens the website, they will be bombarded with potential services offered, ranging from feng shui and chakras to anti-aging and interior design.

    Dating back to the first civilizations, people had ways of interacting with each other through verbal and nonverbal communication. Over the years it became clear that c ommunication is the key to forming successful and meaningful relationships. Through technological advances, we developed a way to connect online and take our communication skills to the next level. This evolution has only helped businesses when it comes to assisting their clients. This has also allowed consumers to feel better connected to businesses.        For a business that wants to be better at helping its customers, it has never been easier thanks to social media. Years ago, one would have to stay on hold with a company for lengthy wait times to simply get an answer for a concern.
