The document summarizes research findings on small and medium-sized businesses' (SMBs) needs and preferences regarding online presence and websites. It finds that SMBs want solutions that are trustworthy, help them get found locally, and require minimal effort ("done" for them). However, many existing SMB websites fail to meet basic usability and functionality standards. The document then presents the Veloxsites solution, which uses customer analytics to automatically provision websites that match SMBs' specific needs, in order to better serve customers and scale efficiently.
