Having a modern website is absolutely necessary for protecting your online reputation, for doing business effectively, and for communicating with others. Consider this question: in 5 years how many times did you upgrade your cell phone? If you said 2 or 3 times then you are on track with the national average. So why, then, did you make the upgrades? To stay current, fresh, and to help ease communication efforts, right? Websites work the exact same way, and having a modern one that reads and functions as such is vital to the service you are offering. The great thing here is that you can achieve this without paying lots of money. In fact, you can get one without paying a single cent. When you choose a cool free design from webstarts.com, you are putting yourself at the forefront of digital modernism, and your audience will feel refreshed rather than repulsed at your stagnant efforts.
