Search engine optimization, key words, photos without glare, wide angle vs regular photos. (you will know the difference) Words used in the website, placement of text and photos.
How many pages to use and on and on.

Many times if a website is not well done, the prospective consumer thinks hmm cheese ball website, must be cheese ball place. (Which often is not true)
A really great website, the going price is 5k to 7500. And yes I know it can be done cheaper, by someone who does it on the side. But rarely if ever will it match a pro web guy and a pro photographer.
This I know from personal experience with my own business
Oddly, I've found a lot of the "professional" websites are worse than the homemade ones. They get so caught up in snazzy graphics and transitions, it becomes hard to find the basic information (rates, location, open dates, contact info, photos)
Yes, you need to keep it up to date and you don't want it to look cheesy but sometimes less is more.
