"Online search is the primary tool most people rely on to do everyday research." Ken Cassar, Senior Director of Analytics, Nielsen/NetRatings.

The world is busy searching online. According to Nielsen/NetRatings, online searches grew to 5.1 billion in the month of December 2005; that's an increase of 55% over the previous December. Millions of Internet users are online each day and growing at an annual rate of 18%. When a customer comes to your door, chances are he has already been to your website or attempted to find you online.

Entrepreneur.com, in an article dated September 19, 2005 by Roy Williams, estimates a "simple website" budget to be $2,000.00 to $5,000.00 for design and development and $100.00 to $400.00 for "monthly maintenance and updates." What was the cost of your latest brochure, manpower and mailing costs, not to mention print ads? For "more complicated features" Williams estimates "$12,000.00 to $20,000.00 for construction and $500.00 to $2,000.00 for monthly maintenance and updates."
