Your Website - If you build it, will they come?

I know, it's a silly headline, but I didn't come up with it. I attended a Brown Bag Luncheon yesterday at my local Chamber of Commerce (presented by the Alexandria Small Business Development Center), which used the title. These luncheons are hosted by the SBDC for small businesses to get together and talk about things that are pertinent to their business. It's a very helpful resource for a large number of small business owners.


I attended the event, curious to see what they would be talking about. In typical Roundtable format, they were simply having a discussion, with many of the participants talking about their own personal experiences with the web and using it for their business.


It struck me, and this is something I think all of us "professionals" often forget, how little most of the people in the world know about the ongoing cultural development that is today's web. Many of the questions that came up were regarding concepts that were developed and perfected years ago, yet are still pertinent to these small business owners.


That said, my next few blog posts will be dedicated to those small business owners who are just getting their feet wet. I hope these posts help you.
