Perhaps this could generate itself into an online contest. You will have to visit many Web sites and take ideas that you like from each. For me the key is to make the site simple, quick and easy to use. This may sound easy, but I probably leave about 60 percent of the Web sites that I try before they finish loading for one of these reasons. Forget large photos, color backgrounds and other things that slow down the site, especially on your opening page.
People using the Internet are usually in a hurry.
Have your staff critique your site. Employees often see things that you are too closely involved to notice. Finally, don't change the focus of your business simply because the Internet is there. As I mentioned earlier, this is going to cost many nurseries a lot of money. I am already seeing wholesale nurseries trying to do mail order, which is a sure-fire recipe for disaster.
