INTRODUCTION

You had to pivot your business practices to account for the impacts of COVID-19, the travel restrictions, stay at home orders, and limits on large gatherings. I do not think there was any industry that was untouched by this pandemic. Several companies were accelerated their plans for adding an online/e-commerce function to their business, which may have been the only way those companies survived. The consumer behavior over the past year almost necessitated that companies expand their online presence. One of the primary ways that companies maintain an online presence is through this website. It is easier than ever to purchase a domain name and go live with a website. A website is just a place holding place, a blank canvas, waiting for you to invite your customer into a story. What story do you want to tell? Who are you telling the story to?
