Why build a site? Why do your customers care?

The core purpose of a website is to help your customers answer the questions necessary to do business with you.

If your website is a series of answers to questions then the success of your site depends on what questions you answer--it's the questions and answers that show the customer you provide a service they're looking for, you're a good choice and that they should buy from you.

In general every customer has the following questions:

1. Who are you?
2. What do you offer?

#   ServerName *.example.com
# </VirtualHost>
#
# 3) Set the current account from the subdomain

# Rails autoloading, while nice in theory, frequently doesn't work. Since Rails 2.3+
# is so fast when completely reloading the server, I wrote this script to listen to the
# given directories, and kill/restart the server when any file is changed.
#
# It's quick, simple, and it reliably reloads your application when changes are made.
