Checklist / Before winter

The 12-point website check every Sioux Falls trade should run before winter

The twelve points are below. Pull your live site up on a phone and work down the list. Each one takes about a minute.

This is for shop owners who answer their own phone. Run it before winter and you will know whether a customer who lands on your site can reach you.
