How do we translate our ideas of great customer service to our websites, where we probably have very little personal interaction with our visitors?

It's simple. We look at our websites from our visitor's perspective. What are their worries, their anxieties? At what point along the conversion path do these concerns present themselves?

We need to anticipate and answer as many of these questions in advance as possible.

The checklist below is merely a starting point. It' s a way to put you into your customer's mind. Remember, to a first time visitor, your business is a huge unknown.
