A website is your home. It should look fabulous and make people welcome.
Because I manage social media I like my clients to have the best website as social media oftentimes takes them to their website. A website is a property that you OWN.
How can you gauge your social media efforts without having your website set up properly and with Google Analytics?
Social media sites are like rented property!
