Insurance agents needlessly make life more complicated when they create websites for their agencies. Perhaps they should obey a few of the "rules" for kindergarten students, and make their websites more effective.

Robert Fulghum published All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. This book of essays contained simple rules we all learned at an early age, including: 

  • Share everything.
  • Play fair.
  • Don't hit people.
  • Don't take things that aren't yours.

1. Share everything 

Prospective customers come to your website looking for information. Many websites make it very hard to find even the agency's street address.
