First off, both refrigerators and websites need power to keep things fresh. Refrigerators run on electricity. Websites run on content. One website mistake that companies often make is setting up their new site and then seldom making changes or adding content. That would be like buying a new refrigerator, stocking it with all your favorite foods and then never bothering to plug it in. In both cases, things begin to smell old and rotten when you neglect to add the power.

The items stocked on your refrigerator shelves, stuck in the door and stacked in the freezer are all there to feed a need. The need, in this case, is providing food to relieve hunger. If you think about it, your website also relieves a hunger – for information. A well-stocked website fills the need of your prospects for information about your company.

Maybe we all spend so much time with the refrigerator door open, staring inside because the internal life of our refrigerator, is a snapshot reflecting the shifts and changes in our lives. The food you have in your refrigerator evolves as your life and tastes change. On a serious jag of session IPAs, stock up and feed the need. New baby just arrived? Load up on the smashed peas. Spied a new Greek yogurt in your friend’s fridge? Gotta get some for yourself.
