I was doing some online searches looking for a place nearby where I could rent an outdoor heater for a party we were having. I've never had the need for something like this before, so naturally the first place that I turned to was Google. I was pretty surprised at the huge opportunities for improvement for the websites that I've visited. Here's what I found, or I should say what I didn't find. 
 
Naturally, I checked out the first few results. I didn't have a great experience with them and here's why: 

• Outdated Design. The first thing that I noticed that most of the designs looked circa early 2000s. This was a big turn off to me, as a potential consumer.
• Lack of Mobile Friendliness. We've talked about the importance of this before. The main point is that it's very likely you're missing out on potential customers if people can't easily navigate your site on a mobile device.
• Missing Content/Product Inventory. I checked quite a few sites and only one of them had most of the information I needed.  Some sites had pictures that were missing, while others had pictures but were missing descriptions. Numerous sites had quite a few categories of items for rent, but most of them didn't contain any information, just a "Coming Soon" page.
• Poor Font Choices. The variety of fonts used in a single page were numerous. The sizing and type used sometime made things hard to read. 

I get it, as a small business owner, you're busy. You're wearing a bunch of different hats and you have a business to run and oftentimes the website isn't one of your top priorities. We get it. That's why we try to make having and maintaining a website as easy as possible to take that burden off of your shoulders. These are some of the things we can do for you:
