Must-Have Features for a Business Website in Bangladesh (That Actually Generate Leads)

Most business websites in Bangladesh don't generate leads. 

They look decent, load slowly on mobile, and give visitors no clear reason to stay or act. That's the real reason your competitors are getting calls you're not.

Bangladesh has over 120 million internet users and an e-commerce sector worth between 6 and 7.5 billion USD. 

According to KPMG's consumer research, 55% of online consumers visit a business's website before making a purchasing decision. That's a massive opportunity, and most BD businesses are quietly fumbling it with websites built for looks, not leads.

The gap between a brochure site and a lead machine isn't designed. It's architecture. 

The right website features for business in Bangladesh are:

  • Mobile optimization
  • Local trust signals
  • Payment gateway integration
  • Technical SEO,
  • Conversion-focused UX 

This is what separates the businesses growing online from the ones wondering why their site gets traffic but no enquiries.

This guide covers every feature that actually moves the needle, built around how BD buyers think, search, and decide.

What Makes a Website Actually Generate Leads in Bangladesh?

A lead-generating website earns trust fast, loads faster, and makes it obvious what the visitor should do next. 

Bangladesh's buyers are mobile-first, skeptical by default, and quick to leave. 

According to a 2024 Userhub study on consumer trust in Bangladesh's e-commerce sector, 33% of online shoppers cited customer reviews and ratings as the most influential trust factor when deciding to trust an online platform.

Another 27% look for HTTPS security, and 58% require clear return policies before they'll buy. 

Understanding this is the foundation of every feature covered here.

The Difference Between a Brochure Website and a Lead Machine

A brochure website answers "Who are you?

A lead machine answers, "Why should I trust you, and what do I do next?"

The difference is architectural, not cosmetic. For Bangladeshi businesses competing across garments, real estate, education, healthcare, and e-commerce, that gap between the two types of websites is the gap between growth and stagnation.

Which Website Type Do You Actually Need?

Before spending a take on features, identify which website type your business actually requires.

How Bangladeshi Users Behave Online

Over 70% of web traffic in Bangladesh comes from mobile devices. 

Most Bangladeshi users discover businesses through Facebook first, then visit the website, which means your site needs to convert already-warm traffic, not introduce your brand from scratch. 

Approximately 70% of orders still use cash-on-delivery, a clear signal that trust-building features aren't optional. Fake products and undelivered orders have trained BD buyers to look for multiple verification points before committing to any purchase.

What Google and AI Systems Look for in 2026

Google's ranking signals in 2026 go well beyond keywords. Your website needs to satisfy both human visitors and the algorithms deciding where you rank.

  • E-E-A-T signals: Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness, and Trustworthiness, demonstrated through case studies, author bios, and real client results
  • Core Web Vitals: Largest Contentful Paint (LCP), Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS), and Interaction to Next Paint (INP) directly affect rankings
  • Structured data/schema markup: AI systems use JSON-LD schema to understand your business type, location, reviews, and services
  • AI Overview eligibility: Clear, direct answers to specific questions formatted as tables or lists rank in AI-generated summaries
  • Mobile-first indexing: Google now indexes exclusively via mobile; a poor mobile experience means ranking suppression

Core Feature Cluster 1: UX and UI Feature That Builds Trust Fast

First impressions are made in under 3 seconds. 

Design is the primary factor determining whether a user stays or leaves on that first visit. Get the UX wrong and everything else on this list is irrelevant.

Clean, Professional Design That Matches Industry Expectations

Industry-specific design norms are powerful trust signals in Bangladesh's market. 

A law firm with a bright orange e-commerce layout loses credibility immediately. A fashion brand with a plain white text-heavy layout looks like a wholesaler. 

According to a 2024 Userhub study on consumer trust in Bangladesh's e-commerce sector, 24% of respondents cited website design and usability as a factor influencing their trust in an online store .|

Your design must speak the visual language your target customer already associates with trustworthy businesses in your sector.

Color Palette, Typography, and Visual Identity Alignment

Your website's visual identity must match your offline brand presence. 

Inconsistency between business cards, signage, social media, and website creates subtle distrust that buyers feel but rarely articulate.

  • Color palette: Use 2–3 brand colors consistently; generic templates with default blues and grays signal "unfinished business."
  • Typography: Maximum 2 typefaces; choose fonts that render cleanly on mobile at 14–16px body size
  • Brand continuity: A customer who finds you on Facebook and lands on your website should feel immediate recognition
  • Image style: Original photography converts significantly better than stock imagery in Bangladesh's relationship-driven market

Interactive UI Elements That Keep Visitors Engaged

Used strategically, micro-interactions signal a modern, invested business and reduce bounce rates.

  • Subtle hover effects on service cards and CTAs
  • Scroll-triggered animations that reveal content progressively (but never delay it)
  • Animated counters for stats that draw the eye
  • Interactive FAQ accordions that reduce page length without hiding content
  • Progress indicators on multi-step forms to cut abandonment

Use these sparingly. Overuse creates distraction. Strategic use creates engagement.

Clear Navigation and Information Hierarchy

Bangladeshi users bounce fast. 

If they can't find what they need within two clicks, they leave. Navigation must be zero-friction, maximum 5–6 top-level menu items, service pages directly accessible from the homepage, a sticky header that stays visible on scroll, and footer navigation covering Contact, Services, About, and Privacy Policy.

Above-the-Fold Section That Communicates Value Immediately

Your hero section must answer three questions within 5 seconds: 

  • Who are you? 
  • What do you do? 
  • Why should I care? 

Include a benefit-led headline, a specific sub-headline, and one clear call-to-action. For service businesses in Bangladesh, a phone number or WhatsApp link in the hero section alone can meaningfully improve conversion rates.

What Your Hero Section Should Say

Lead with the outcome your customer wants, not the service you provide.

  • Weak headline: "We Provide Web Development Services in Bangladesh."
  • Strong headline: "Get a Website That Actually Brings You Clients, Built for Bangladesh's Market"
  • Weak headline: "Professional Digital Marketing Agency."
  • Strong headline: "Turn Your Website Into a Lead Machine, 120+ BD Businesses Already Have."
  • Weak headline: "Best E-commerce Solutions Provider."
  • Strong headline: "Launch Your Online Store in 7 Days, With bKash, Nagad & Full Mobile Optimization."

Strong hero sections name the customer's problem, promise a specific outcome, and give one clear next step.

Core Feature Cluster 2: Mobile Optimization for Bangladesh's Audience

Bangladesh is a mobile-first country. This isn't a trend; it's the permanent state of how your customers browse, research, and buy.

Why Mobile-First Is Not Optional in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is a mobile-first country, and that shapes every decision a buyer makes before contacting you. 

Most of your visitors are on a mid-range Xiaomi or Samsung device over a 4G connection, browsing between tasks, with zero patience for a site that doesn't load or display correctly. 

A website that doesn't render perfectly on mobile isn't just underperforming. It's actively losing revenue every single day.

What "Mobile Optimized" Actually Means (Beyond Responsive Design)

Responsive design is the floor, not the ceiling. True mobile optimization means:

  • Touch targets: Buttons must be at least 44×44 pixels, no accidental mis-taps
  • Font size: Body text minimum 16px; nothing should require pinch-zooming
  • Tap-to-call: Phone numbers must be clickable; a non-clickable phone number on mobile is a dead end
  • Click-to-WhatsApp: A floating WhatsApp icon that's always visible on mobile
  • Reduced form fields: Mobile users abandon long forms; ask for name, phone, and message only
  • Image compression: WebP format images that load fast on variable mobile connections
  • No intrusive pop-ups: Google penalizes intrusive interstitials on mobile in rankings

Page Speed as a Conversion Factor

Every second beyond 3 seconds costs you conversions. For Bangladesh's mixed 3G/4G environment, under 3 seconds on mobile is the minimum acceptable standard.

Tools like Google PageSpeed Insights and GTmetrix measure this accurately and for free.

Hosting Matters More Than People Think in Bangladesh

The cheapest shared hosting plan destroys your speed, your SEO, and ultimately your leads. Key considerations for BD businesses:

  • LiteSpeed web server hosting delivers 4-6x faster PHP processing than standard Apache servers, critical for WordPress sites
  • NVMe SSD storage provides dramatically faster read/write speeds compared to traditional SSDs or HDD-based servers
  • CDN (Content Delivery Network): Cloudflare's free tier provides significant speed improvements; servers physically closer to Dhaka reduce latency
  • Hosting to evaluate: SiteGround, Cloudways (DigitalOcean/Vultr with Cloudflare), and select local providers with LiteSpeed stacks
  • Avoid: Generic shared hosting under BDT 500/month, the performance penalty costs far more in lost conversions than the savings

Caution: Budget hosting is one of the most common and costliest mistakes BD businesses make. A BDT 3,000–6,000/month professional hosting plan pays for itself in recovered leads within weeks.

Core Feature Cluster 3: Technical SEO That Gets You Found

Most Bangladeshi business websites are invisible to Google, not because of weak content, but because of missing technical foundations. 

This is one of the most consistent patterns across the BD market.

On-Page SEO Foundations Every Business Website Needs

  • Unique, keyword-optimized <title> tags for every page (55–60 characters)
  • Meta descriptions for every page (150–160 characters) that include a call-to-action
  • Proper H1 → H2 → H3 heading hierarchy on every page
  • Image alt text on every image (improves both accessibility and image search rankings)
  • Internal linking between related service pages and blog posts
  • Canonical tags to prevent duplicate content issues
  • URL slugs that are short, readable, and keyword-inclusive

Understanding search intent is what separates a page that ranks from a page that exists. 

Every service page should match what a buyer is actually searching for, not just what you want to say.

Schema Markup for Local Business Visibility

Schema markup uses JSON-LD format to tell Google and AI systems exactly what your business is and where it operates. 

It's invisible to visitors but enormously valuable to search engines, and almost universally missing from BD business websites.

  • LocalBusiness schema: Name, address, phone number, hours, geo-coordinates
  • Service schema: Individual services with descriptions and pricing ranges
  • Review/Rating schema: Aggregate ratings visible in search results
  • FAQ schema: Answers that appear in Google's "People Also Ask" boxes and AI Overviews
  • BreadcrumbList schema: Helps Google understand your site structure

A solid local SEO strategy built on schema is one of the highest-leverage investments a BD business can make, and one of the most overlooked.

Google Business Profile Integration

Your Google Business Profile is your most powerful free local SEO tool. 

Link it to your website, ensure your Name, Address, and Phone (NAP) data is identical across both, and actively collect reviews. 

Businesses with complete, actively managed profiles appear in local map pack results, the three business listings that appear above organic search results for queries like "web design agency Dhaka."

SSL Certificate, HTTPS, and Security Trust Signals

SSL is both a Google ranking factor and a conversion trust signal. 

27% of Bangladeshi e-commerce consumers name HTTPS as a primary trust factor. Browsers now display "Not Secure" warnings on HTTP sites, which immediately kills buyer confidence. 

Ensure your SSL is properly configured, auto-renews annually, and that all pages redirect from HTTP to HTTPS.

Sitemap and Robots.txt: The Basics Most Local Sites Get Wrong

These two files tell Google what to crawl and what to ignore.

Get them right and your pages index faster. Get them wrong, and Google either misses your best content or crawls pages it was never supposed to see; both outcomes hurt your rankings.

  • Submit an XML sitemap to Google Search Console, which tells Google which pages to index
  • Update your sitemap automatically when you add new pages or blog posts
  • Configure robots.txt to block admin pages, login pages, and staging environments from indexing
  • Never accidentally block your own content pages in robots.txt, a common and catastrophic error
  • Verify indexation in Google Search Console at least monthly

Core Feature Cluster 4: Conversion Optimization Elements

This is where leads are won or lost. Every feature in this cluster directly connects your traffic to revenue.

Strategic Call-to-Action (CTA) Placement

A website without a clear CTA has no purpose. Every page needs a primary CTA, and it must be impossible to miss.

  • Above the fold: Your hero section CTA must be visible without scrolling on any device
  • Sticky CTA bar: A persistent button ("Get a Free Quote" or "WhatsApp Us Now") that stays visible on scroll
  • End of every section: After each piece of content, prompt the next step
  • Button colors: Green, orange, and red consistently outperform blue and gray in A/B tests
  • Microcopy: "Get My Free Audit" converts better than "Submit."

Avoiding common landing page optimization mistakes is just as important as getting the CTA placement right. The two work together.

How to Make It Easy for Bangladeshi Users to Actually Contact You

Bangladeshi buyers communicate on their terms. Your contact options must meet them where they already are.

  • WhatsApp CTA (floating button): The single highest-converting contact option for BD service businesses, always visible, mobile-friendly, and zero friction
  • Phone number in header: Prominently visible on desktop and mobile, clickable on mobile
  • Facebook Messenger integration: Many BD users prefer Messenger; embed the Messenger chat plugin on your site
  • Contact form: Keep it to 3–4 fields maximum: Name, Phone, and Message
  • Response time promise: "We reply within 2 hours" increases form submission rates by reducing the fear of being ignored

Which Payment Gateways Your Bangladesh Website Needs (And Why Each One Matters)

For any BD business collecting payments online, local payment gateway integration is a direct conversion driver. 

Displaying payment logos in your footer and checkout is itself a trust signal. Bangladeshi online shoppers name secure payment options as a primary trust factor.

  • bKash: Bangladesh's most widely used MFS platform with 65M+ users; bKash Payment Gateway API supports website and app integration; transaction fee ~1.5%
  • Nagad: Bangladesh Post Office's digital financial service; growing rapidly with lower transaction fees; ideal for price-sensitive customers
  • Rocket: DBBL's mobile banking; used primarily in non-metro areas and by Dutch-Bangla account holders
  • SSLCommerz: Bangladesh's leading full-stack payment gateway, aggregating card payments (Visa, Mastercard), mobile banking (bKash, Nagad, Rocket), and internet banking into a single integration, the best option for businesses wanting one solution

E-Commerce Essentials: Order Tracking, Reviews, and One-Page Checkout

For e-commerce sites, these features separate a functioning store from a revenue-generating machine.

  • One-page checkout: Every additional checkout step increases cart abandonment, so reduce friction relentlessly
  • Guest checkout: Never force account creation before purchase; it's a primary abandonment trigger
  • Real-time order tracking: Delivery uncertainty kills repeat purchase rates; SMS/email tracking updates rebuild trust
  • Product review system: Verified purchase reviews directly address the fake-review concern that erodes BD buyer confidence
  • Stock availability indicators: "Only 3 left" and "In Stock" signals drive urgency and reduce hesitation

Trust Signals That Convert Skeptical Visitors

In Bangladesh's market, trust isn't given; it's earned in layers. Build it in this sequence, and each signal strengthens the next.

  1. SSL certificate + HTTPS - Without this, nothing else matters, 27% of BD shoppers check this first)
  2. Customer reviews + star ratings - The #1 stated trust factor for BD online shoppers
  3. Payment gateway logos - bKash, Nagad, and SSLCommerz logos in the footer and checkout
  4. WhatsApp / live contact button - Signals a real, accessible human behind the website
  5. Clear return and exchange policy - 58% of BD consumers require this before purchasing
  6. Portfolio/case studies - Proof of work; especially critical for service businesses
  7. Privacy policy + Terms of Service pages - Signals a legitimate, compliant business

Best Practice: Don't pick two or three of these and call it done. Skeptical buyers scan for all of them. A missing link in this chain breaks the trust you've already built.

Portfolio and Case Studies Section

For service businesses in Bangladesh, web design agencies, marketing firms, architects, and consultants, a portfolio is the primary conversion tool. 

Before any BD business owner hires an agency, they want to see who else you've worked with and what actually happened. 

A case study showing a measurable outcome is more persuasive than any amount of marketing copy. Even 3–4 strong case studies dramatically outperform a generic "About Us" page. 

Include the client name (with permission), the problem, the approach, and a specific, measurable result.

Return, Exchange, and Shipping Policy Pages

  • State the return window clearly (7 days, 14 days, be specific)
  • Specify condition requirements for returns (unused, original packaging, etc.)
  • Explain the refund method: bKash refund, bank transfer, or store credit
  • State shipping timelines for Dhaka vs. outside Dhaka explicitly
  • Include a direct Policy link in the footer and on the checkout page

These pages directly address the hesitation that Bangladeshi buyers feel before purchasing online.

Live Chat and Chatbot Integration

Live chat increases lead capture rates significantly for BD service businesses. 

Tawk.to is free, mobile-friendly, and widely used for small and medium businesses. The Facebook Messenger plugin leverages the platform that BD users already trust. 

For businesses with higher volume, a WhatsApp Business API chatbot captures after-hours leads automatically. 

Set up a chatbot to handle the 5–10 most common questions, pricing, timelines, service scope, and hand off to a human for close.

Lead Capture Forms: What to Ask and What to Skip

Most BD businesses either ask for too much and scare visitors off, or ask for too little and get leads with no context to follow up on. 

A well-structured form takes 30 seconds to fill out and gives you everything you need to start a real conversation.

Ask for: Name, phone number, service of interest, and message. 

Skip: company registration numbers, detailed project scope, or anything that reads like a job application. 

Add:  "Get Monthly BD Marketing Tips" email opt-in box to build your database for long-term nurturing, even visitors who don't buy today stay in your ecosystem. 

Always add a confirmation message or redirect to a Thank You page after form submission, which also enables Google Analytics conversion tracking.

Core Feature Cluster 5: Content That Builds Authority and Captures Search Traffic

Traffic without a content strategy is a leaky bucket. The right content turns your website into a compounding asset that generates leads long after it's published.

Service Pages That Answer Real Questions

Generic service pages rank for nothing and convert nobody. 

Effective service pages lead with the customer's problem, answer "What will I actually get and what does it cost?", include specific deliverables and timelines, feature relevant case studies or testimonials, and target a specific keyword, "web design agency Dhaka" or "e-commerce website Bangladesh." 

One focused, well-structured service page beats ten vague ones.

Video Content on Service and Product Pages

Bangladeshi audiences are increasingly video-native. 

A 60–90 second explainer or product demo video on key service and product pages can increase time-on-page significantly, which signals quality to Google's ranking algorithms. 

For e-commerce, a product video showing exactly what an item looks like, its size, and how it's used addresses the #1 BD buyer anxiety: "Will what I receive match what I see online?" Google's AI Overviews also increasingly surface pages with embedded video as rich results.

A Blog or Resource Section for Topical Authority

A consistent blog serves two jobs simultaneously: it builds topical authority, signaling to Google that you're an expert in your field, and it captures long-tail search traffic from buyers in the research phase. 

A Dhaka-based web design agency publishing 2–3 blog posts per month on topics like "How to choose a web design agency in Bangladesh" or "bKash payment gateway setup guide" will consistently acquire search traffic from people actively researching before they buy.

CMS Choice: Why WordPress Is the BD Default (And When It Isn't)

WordPress powers the majority of business websites in Bangladesh for good reason. 

Business owners can update content, add products, and publish blogs without a developer. 

The plugin ecosystem for SEO (Yoast/RankMath), speed (WP Rocket, LiteSpeed Cache), security (Wordfence), and payment gateways is mature and reliable. Development costs are lower due to wider developer availability. 

That said, high-traffic applications (50K+ daily sessions), complex custom workflows, or real-time data-heavy platforms may require custom Laravel/Node.js development or a headless CMS architecture.

Local Landing Pages for Dhaka and Other Cities

If your business serves multiple cities like Dhaka, Chattogram, Sylhet, and Rajshahi, dedicated landing pages for each city dramatically improve local search visibility. 

A page targeting "web design agency Chattogram" with local content, local case studies, and a local address and phone number captures search traffic that a generic homepage can never reach. 

These pages also serve as conversion-optimized entry points for paid ads targeting specific geographic audiences.

Bengali Language Content: Should You Add It?

Yes, with strategic nuance. 

A bilingual approach (Bengali + English) consistently outperforms Bengali-only websites for most business categories. 

English-language content targets the urban, educated, higher-purchasing-power segment that dominates online transactions, while Bengali content opens access to tier-2 city buyers and builds cultural connection. 

The most effective strategy for businesses targeting a broad BD audience: service pages in English, WhatsApp communications in Bengali, and blog content in both languages.

F-Commerce vs. Website: The Question Every BD Business Owner Asks

If you're selling in Bangladesh, you've been asked: "Why bother with a website when Facebook works?" It's a fair question. 

The honest answer is that F-commerce and a website serve different jobs, and the most successful BD businesses use both.

Common Mistakes Bangladeshi Businesses Make With Their Websites

These mistakes don't announce themselves. 

Most BD business owners only discover them months later, after the traffic has stalled, the leads haven't come, and a cheap fix has turned into an expensive rebuild. Knowing what to avoid upfront is cheaper than learning it the hard way.

Building a Website for Looks, Not Leads

Beauty is subjective. Effectiveness is measurable.

Many BD businesses invest in visual design while ignoring conversion architecture, missing CTAs, having no contact path, no trust signals, and no speed optimization. 

Design serves the lead. The lead doesn't serve the design.

Ignoring Page Speed and Mobile Performance

A website loading in 7 seconds on a mobile device over 4G is not a website; it's a waiting room with no chairs. 

Given that 70%+ of BD traffic is mobile, page speed on mobile is the single most impactful technical factor in lead generation.

No Clear Contact Path for Mobile Users

If a mobile user can't tap-to-call, tap-to-WhatsApp, or find a contact form within 10 seconds of landing on your site, they will leave. And they will contact whoever they find next.

Trusting Cheap Freelancers With No SEO Knowledge

Here's what cheap BD website developers typically skip, and what it actually costs.

Skipped Element

Real Cost

Schema markup

Invisible in local search; zero AI Overview eligibility

Mobile testing

30–50% of visitors get a broken experience

SSL configuration

Browser security warnings; Google ranking penalty

Analytics setup

No data on what's working or why

Core Web Vitals optimization

Rankings suppressed by Google

On-page SEO structure

Organic traffic near zero

A BDT 20,000 website that skips these elements will cost you hundreds of thousands of Taka in lost leads annually. The savings are not savings.

No Analytics or Conversion Tracking Set Up

If you're not tracking where visitors come from, which pages they visit, which CTAs they click, and which form submissions convert to revenue, you're running blind. 

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Search Console are free, powerful, and non-negotiable. Set them up before you launch, not after.

What Does a Lead-Generating Website Cost in Bangladesh? (And what's the ROI?)

Budget is always part of the conversation, and it should be. But the more useful question isn't what a website costs to build, it's what a weak one costs you every month in leads that go somewhere else.

Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Web Design Agency in Bangladesh

  1. Can you show me 3–5 live websites you've built with measurable results?
  2. Is SEO (on-page + schema + sitemap) included in your build process?
  3. Will the website be tested on mobile before delivery?
  4. Do you set up Google Analytics 4 and Search Console as part of the project?
  5. What is your page speed target, and how will you achieve it?
  6. Do you integrate local payment gateways (bKash, Nagad, SSLCommerz)?
  7. Who owns the website, hosting, and domain after the project is complete?
  8. What is your post-launch support policy?

How to Get Started With a Professional Business Website in Bangladesh

The hardest part for most BD business owners isn't building the website; it's knowing where to start and what order to do things in. 

Skip a step early, and you pay for it later with a site that needs rebuilding before it's even had a chance to perform. Follow this sequence, and you build it right the first time.

Step-by-Step: From Idea to Lead-Generating Website

  1. Define your website type and goals - Lead generation, e-commerce, or brand authority? What does a "conversion" look like for your business?
     
  2. Research competitors' websites - Identify 3–5 competing businesses; note what they do well and where they fall short
     
  3. Compile your content assets - Logo, brand colors, service descriptions, photos, testimonials, and existing case studies
     
  4. Choose your CMS - WordPress for most BD businesses; custom development for complex requirements
     
  5. Select hosting - LiteSpeed-based hosting with CDN support; budget BDT 3,000–6,000/month for a professional-grade plan
     
  6. Work with a specialist agency - Brief them on your business goals, not just your design preferences
     
  7. Review on mobile before launch - Test every page, every button, every form on an actual mobile device
     
  8. Set up analytics before going live - GA4, Search Console, and Facebook Pixel configured from day one
     
  9. Launch and monitor - Track bounce rate, session duration, conversion rate, and top entry pages weekly for the first 90 days

Why Working With a Specialized Web Design Agency in Bangladesh Matters

A generalist freelancer builds websites. A specialized agency builds lead machines. 

The difference is whether your developer understands conversion rate optimization, local SEO, Core Web Vitals, and the specific trust signals that BD buyers respond to.

After working with 120+ businesses, the pattern is clear: a website that integrates design, technical SEO, mobile performance, and conversion architecture from day one generates leads. One that doesn't is an expense, not an asset.

See how one of the best web development companies approaches projects like yours, and what that looks like in practice for BD businesses.

The gap between a brochure site and a lead machine isn't that wide, but the revenue difference between the two is. 

Your website is either your best salesperson or your biggest blind spot. There's no middle ground.
