Hi Daniel,

I love your expression 'rinky dink' - I think you should add in another step to say 'write great headlines on your articles and blogs'.

It is true that people make instant judgments on your marketing material. It takes about 8 seconds for someone to land on your website and jump off if they don't like so I completely agree that a website that is unprofessional is a no no.

As a copywriter and marketer, I definitely think that a website that is written in an engaging way is well worth it's weight in gold.

I think your points are great reminders to go back and check the quality of your appearance - especially if you're a service business. I'm not sure that every business needs a blog (although I love your wording - a website's playful brother). Blogging takes time and commitment and yes it adds credibility to your business but not every business needs a blog and it's a judgment call on whether a business has time to commit to it. If you do jump on the blogging bandwagon, then it's professional to keep it somewhat updated!

Thanks for the reminder.

Take care

Denise
