My main objective is that the site look extremely 'polished'. I generate most of my leads from PPC and then close sales with them on the phone so my website is not critical to my business now. I believe that having a polished website that my potential customers will see it and say "wow, beautiful and fast functioning website, these guys most be legitimate".
