Who maintains your website and why?
I regularly update my website and add any new information or photographs of my recent works as they come.
Tell us how your business has benefitted from your website?
It is great to be able to say to potential Clients "Here is my web address. You can see some examples of my work online". Or, "My pricelist is on my website for your information." People are more likely to choose me for their Makeup Artist when they can see for themselves that I am competent at what I do. It is a way that people can have a detailed description of my business right in front of them at anytime. It is much better than a brochure!

I think that the internet is a very powerful tool. The opportunities are just endless. I really do believe that ecommerce will be a tool we all use long into the future.
What are your views on Search Engine Optimization (SEO)?
There has to be some sort of criteria for the way in which websites are listed. Although at times it can be frustrating for the operators of these websites, I think that it is only fair that search engines execute a method of choosing which sites they feel as most appropriate to the viewers.

At this stage I am quite happy with my page's ranking, and I think that with time as I expand my website and obtain more and more links to my site that this ranking can only improve.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
I am still in the early days so I am in the process of trying many different ways of getting my site out there. I think that adding my website address to every pamphlet, flyer, email and business card that I have has help greatly to expose my site.
What method has been least successful for promoting your website?
I don't see any method as not be successful at this point in time.
What would you like to see change with respect to the internet?
