If you pick fast and cheap, then it’s probably just going to be good enough. That used to be the “Rule of Three.” Marketing isn’t a “You Pick 2” world anymore. Now, nearly every client is able to say, “ Yes, I’ll have all three, please.

If we consider the usual online consumer cycle , we will realise that your website is present in each and every one of its phases (awareness, consideration and decision).
