Small Business Websites – What to Include on an “About” Page

It’s important for every small business to give careful thought as to what it puts on the “About” page of its website. After the Home page it’s often the page that site visitors will go to next. It’s one which can strongly influence the decision about whether or not to do business with you.

In other words it’s about credibility and trust. A visitor to your site will typically go to your About page to find out if you’re a business of substance. People only buy from businesses that they trust.
