It’s amazing to me how many people do not use technology in their organization, be it a business, a practice, non-profit or shop. It has been a decade now that websites have become mandatory to disseminate information to your potential consumers or clients. When many of these business owners were starting out, personal computers were part of science fiction. Today, if you don’t have a website and email, you are way behind your competition.

But even if your business is not up to standards with technology, how do you personally become a better consumer? People are using the Internet to do so. And, if you as a business are passing up all of these learned consumers, how are you managing your own purchases, activities and education?

Like it or not, a website is a fundamental part of owning and running a business in the 21st century. Don’t have one? Woe is you.
