Have you ever visited a website that, the minute it opened, you said “Wow!” or “I like this site!”? I actually do this every time I visit a great looking website.
Is Your Website Purpose Driven?
Written by Peter Beare on .
Is your website a purpose driven website? Sounds like a corny question from a self-help book, doesn’t it? But in reality, many websites today are “happenstance-driven” rather than purpose-driven.
