American Express recently publishing an article titled "5 Simple Tips For Better Business Websites" (http://www.openforum.com/articles/5-simple-tips-for-better-business-websites).

The tips are not unexpected, but there are ways One World Hosting can help you with each suggestion:

1. Have a mobile version. "With mobile device usage skyrocketing, a mobile-friendly website is practically essential..."  We agree!  Our GetGoMobi.com mobile site builder service can get your mobile site up and running the same day, and can automatically link from your main site - when a mobile visitor comes to your site they're instantly directed to the version that works best for them.  More than half of all web visits now are from mobile devices - make sure your customers can use your site.

2. Provide supplemental information. Would a blog help keep your site up to date?  A guestbook? A forum?  Every One World account has access to over 200 one-click installed tools to get done most any task you have.  Outdated sites are the #1 reason visitors don't come back - keep yours up to date.

3. Use AJAX for simple tasks. Along with the tool mentioned above are a wide range of task-related services; form builders, database handlers, code samples - anything you can imagine needing is at your fingertips, ready to install, and never a fee!

4. Make it easy to get help. Do you need a helpdesk or FAQ tool to manage your customer's needs?  How about one of these:

Crafty Syntax  Help Center Live  HESK    osTicket    ExoPHPDesk  phpSupport  Open Web Messenger  phpOnline  phpMyFAQ  iQDesk  Trellis Desk

5. Keep it simple and organized. If you need a site builder we have those too, and if building a site is just a bit beyond your ability or time, we can recommend designers we work with.  There are important ways to make a business site functional and effective, and we can help!
