I recently attended a two-day marketing workshop that made me think about whether I am effectively communicating with prospects on my websites. I do an annual review of my websites and update them to keep them fresh. According to Forbes' article "Top Website Statistics for 2025", there are close to 1.2 billion websites on the internet in 2025, and only 43% of small business owners plan to invest in their website performance. Additionally, 21% of business owners report low website traffic, which can affect attracting and retaining customers, revenue growth, and overall success.

The tax code does not see those details as background color; it treats them as organizing facts. This is where citizenship, residency, and domicile quietly step onto center stage. For planners, the challenge is not memorizing every cross-border rule. It is knowing when a client is no longer “just domestic” and shifting your planning framework before you stumble into penalties, double taxation, or blown opportunities.
