It's all about being mobile...
If you haven't updated your web site recently,
you might as well hire a balladeer to spread the word.
Think about this report from Pew Internet:
"In its first standalone measure of smartphone ownership, the Pew Internet Project finds that one third of American adults – 35% – own smartphones. The Project’s May survey found that 83% of US adults have a cell phone of some kind, and that 42% of them own a smartphone. That translates into 35% of all adults.
Our definition of a smartphone owner includes anyone who falls into either of the following two categories:
One-third of cell owners (33%) say that their phone is a smartphone. Two in five cell owners (39%) say that their phone operates on a smartphone platform (these include iPhones and Blackberry devices, as well as phones running the Android, Windows or Palm operating systems).
Several demographic groups have high levels of smartphone adoption, including the financially well-off and well-educated, non-whites, and those under the age of 45.
Some 87% of smartphone owners access the internet or email on their handheld, including two-thirds (68%) who do so on a typical day. When asked what device they normally use to access the internet, 25% of smartphone owners say that they mostly go online using their phone, rather than with a computer. While many of these individuals have other sources of online access at home, roughly one third of these cell only internet users lack a high-speed home broadband connection."
HOW DOES YOUR WEB SITE FUNCTION ON YOUR SMARTPHONE?
If you have a web site, take a moment and check it out on your Backberry, Android or iPhone. Can you read the site? How does the layout work? Remember that people are now accessing sites on mobile devices and yours has to stack up.

Content
Content for your site is a touchy business. But we have a couple pieces of advice.
Your potential customers want to know about you, your business, your philosophy. A web site is a one-on-one conversation with a customer. People looking for your product or service don't want to know how we fee about it (or any developer's for that matter.) While we can refine your content for the web and for search engines, you've got to provide the content for the site in your own words so when they call, they know they are talking to you.
There is one situation where we can make and exception to help out - that is the field of dental sleep medicine. Because of close association with our sister site (and company) www.snoringisntsexy.com; we do have generic content available for your use. We do, however, strongly recommend that you use this content as a starting point only and rewirite it in your own words. In addition, for dental sleep medicine web sites we do have an RSS feed availabe for use at the site.
