You're a small business owner. You're busy. You don't have time for a six month "discovery process" with a web agency that ends up costing you more than your first car. You need a website that works, and you need it without the jargon and the upsells. This chapter is about figuring out what your website actually needs to do for your business, so you can avoid paying for things it doesn't. Think of your website as a tool, not a trophy. What job do you need it to perform? What problem does it solve for your customers, and for you?
