In today's market, the more dynamic and professional your website is, the easier it is for a potential customer to get a sense of your business via its accessibility and responsiveness.

In the past, your web designer might have been the only one working on your website. But with today's technologies and expectations, you as business owner, content contributor, or marketer can have an expanded, active role in posting information on your website.

The garden is an appropriate metaphor for websites. Websites can be seen as living and breathing things based on the interactivity they can foster. They are virtual gardens that you stake out and refer to by domain. And you, the owner of your site, can be the gardener.

The following series of articles discuss some website gardening techniques. The articles are oriented towards the business owner or marketing professional who doesn't necessarily have a web development background.
