Your website is now online and you are happy with the product. Any time now hundreds of enquiries will flood your inbox. Right? Wrong!
Once your website is online you have simply prepared the site for people to visit. It'is a popular belief that once you are on the internet your website will generate enquiries all by itself, without any input from you. That unfortunately couldn't be further from the truth.
