This article works off a wrong assumption, which is that all potential clients look at your web site. They don’t. I find the people who waste my time the most are people who have looked me up in the yellow pages, scraper sites, or saw my name in the paper, and phone up with questions which indicate that they have little or no knowledge of how the web works, full stop. Now, obviously a potential client who has no interest in your own web presence is not the sort of client you want to work with. But there is nothing you can do to prevent having to deal with their enquiries. You then have to toe a fine line between being professional and patronising.
