		<description>Hey Chris, I think I may have to disagree with just one page, as you know loading one page up with to much information will muddle the message the page is suppose to deliver. 

When you have to think that they should tell a bit about themselves and what their business offers, I&#039;m not so sure one page of information with all of this together would deliver a clear message answering even the essential questions. You could do it with 3 pages ( welcome/core business information page, about page, contact page) however I could be wrong, I&#039;m going to have to surf around now for 1 page websites.

		<description>So true. So many people with businesses put a site on the internet and forget about it, making it outdated almost immediately. I think more than anything, ensuring that the content is up to date is THE most essential piece. You made a good point converting it into seconds. It really shows how much lost time they&#039;ve seen.

The layout is also terrible as most seem to think they can just load a word docment and be done iwth it.</description>

		<description>@ Christopher 

I agree wholeheartedly all they need is one page; possibly some nice pictures :p

I&#039;m like he families got to guy for techie stuff (as my other tech minded uncles are always busy) and for big projects like a professional site etc, or created a daily use database. I always say get a pro. Benefits being:

1)your not gonna get paid anyway so why the extra hassle and support!
2) if you do a bad job they are vocal lol :p
3) mission critical stuff is well mission critical, you rather not mess it up and instead high a pro.</description>

		<description>Thanks for the feedback guys, I get very disappointed when I see wonderful businesses pour their heart and souls into something like a restaurant or retail business but then they fail so dramatically on the web.

My wife read this post last night and had the interesting observations (as a non techie) that she thought most businesses need a single page website, basically just stating the hours of operation, contact details and a map to the location. As a web technologist (not a web designer) I feel I have to agree.</description>

		<description>&lt;strong&gt;Website Benefits and Let Downs...&lt;/strong&gt;

I have to agree with this article as harsh as it sounds it speaks the truth. If you setup a website and don&#8217;t put the time and effort to make sure your content is relevant to your customers than your website is just a let down.
