For corporate business they may want some features that enable them to interact with potential customer or existing customer. Whist for small business owner, they probably want a simple content to describe their product or services. Looking at this, we may have high probability that we are going to get some income from these types of people.
We cannot underestimate people who uses website for leisure. Even though lots of free website over the web available for them to grab, there may be a time where these people are concern about the name of their website and features they want to use. We can also offer options for these people but usually their drive to get a paid website is not that urgent as business people.
We have now identified type of people that need the website and to summarize:
