How to get started? Getting started is more important than trying to get it perfect straightaway. With so much on offer, why then are many businesses failing to take advantage of the power of the web? Lack of IT resources to deploy and manage an Internet presence is often seen as a key obstacle, as is the cost of building a web platform and then maintaining it.
