When you meet prospects, live or virtually, they often want to know more about you and your services.  Inevitably, they’ll ask for your website. Research shows 80% of buyers visit a website before making a purchase.  But what if your website isn’t ready? You may have good reasons for waiting to build a website. In fact, you might (wisely) want to avoid starting too early…before you know your client’s backstory or before you head off on vacation.
