More than 1 billion people are on the Internet. Having an Internet presence is critical for any business that wants to remain competitive.
Businesses need their Web sites to create a "buzz" to attract customers.
E-business Web sites must be innovative, stimulating, add value, and provide useful information.
In short, the site must build a sense of community and collaboration, eventually becoming the "port of entry" for business.
