to make a good impression on our viewers. Your business depends
on it. We only have a short amount of time, before a decision
on whether or not we are professionals will be made. We must
make good use of this time.
The first
instant we have at presenting ourselves to viewers is our web
page. Which brings us to the importance of good design and proper
color choices. First impressions are very important. We must
make the best of them because we are only allowed one.
Remember

While content, customer service, a niche in your market, and
a high subscriber list, are crucial to your life on the internet.
Good web page design and proper color choices, are crucial as
well. It is a good part of the reason why viewers
bother to look over your content at all. Regardless of how incredible
