In my experience, no. Leads will find you through your online presence, but will rarely, if ever, begin at your site. However, it IS important to maintain a good site (in addition to making yourself known via forums, social networks and job aites) as they will expect to see one before they bother to contact you.

Think of your web site as your business card -- it's how people get in touch with you once they've already been introduced; it seldom works as the introduction itself.
