One of the most common phrases circulating in recent times is that ‘there is no recession online’. But what does this mean for your small/medium enterprise (SME) based in Ireland? Many SMEs spend a lot of time, effort and money on their websites, but if you can generate income from your business website, are you exploiting that opportunity fully?
