As I talked shop at the 24th Annual Indian Nations and Tribes Legislative Day at the Arizona State Capitol with Arizona Tribal leaders and varied constituents, I heard over and over that websites are a necessary tool to convey information and to attract business interest. Whether you’re a tribal government, small business owner, educator or non-profit, often the first introduction to information about you is through your official website. Yet, websites can be challenging to maintain and update.
In 2019 it still holds true that:
- Native small business start-ups need a website to get a foot in the door and introduce services and products;
- Even established industries like entertainment often desire revamped websites to appeal to customers;
- Small firms often don’t have the time to upgrade websites to be more professional and informative;
- Specialized service industries need motivational or targeted messaging to improve outreach;
- First impressions are important, which is especially true in business. In this digital age, often the first step to introduce information is through a website.
Every industry, including those in or working with Indian Country, are reliant on accessibility, particularly accessing information through mobile devices and tablets.
