• Post-Launch Marketing Website Support

  • Consider for a moment the place where you are living. It might be a single-family house, a townhouse, an apartment building, or some other housing structure. At some point in the past, the construction of that housing structure was started. Fast forward some months later and the construction was completed.

    Once the construction phase is over and the building is ready to be used, does this mean that there is no more work to do?
    What do you think would happen if no further work is put into that building?

    Ok, here's a hint...

  • Website Launch does NOT mean No More Work!

    Along similar lines, when your website is launched, this does NOT mean that there is no more work to be done.
