For most businesses today, the face that they show to customers, partners and the world, isn’t their CEO or founder or spokesperson, it’s their website. Often the first impression that a person will form about your company will come when they visit your website.

Given that knowledge, one would think that businesses would put a lot of time and effort into putting the best “Web face” on their company as possible.
