A properly planned and executed web site is a 24 hour
face to face representative of your farm that tells the
exact same story to every customer prospect who
calls on it. It works for pennies a day.

Using the right blend of text information and images,
a web site can attract very interested customers
via links and search directed traffic. It also has
branding effects that build or diminish the name
applied to your farm.

If you have a web site hosted by a reputable hosting
firm using Unix (not Windows and not Front Page)
servers, it will be up virtually all of the time and immune
from attacks by most hackers.
