Emails or calls-as long as you are being contacted by potential clients ;) Daniel-Thank you for your comments as well! You have a great blog yourself and provide some great tips. You are right, not all websites may have the goal of getting contacted, but most professional service firms need to leverage their website to gain clients. Also, many times clients see marketing as almost a stand-alone concept, rather than a process to increase revenue. I am hoping this post will speak to them. Mark- Thanks for your comments!

Strange that the client didn't think of "projecting a professional image" as part of marketing. About the 'final goal': I've worked on a few websites where the final goal has *not* been to make the phone ring. A good example is companies with a great existing distribution base, but no direct relationship with clients (eg. manufacturers who sell exclusively through resellers). Those are interesting projects: creating a direct dialog with clients where none has previously existed. Looking forward to the next post, daniel hey, Shama, how are you?
