OH NO!
Everyone should have a website!
If you don’t, then Get One Now!
(set up in less than 24 hours)
A great website should be one of the first and most important things you can do…
It should be right up there with choosing a location or stocking a store or hiring employees…
It should be right at the top of ANY advertising campaign..
We see a lot of businesses like electricians, plumbers, florists, maids, yard services, and many other small businesses that just don’t have a website at all.
These businesses may rely on word of mouth, and that’s great, but even a past customer may do a web search if they forgot the number or lost the address. A website is more then attracting new customers, its there for continuing business, its a ROCK for a business. That’s where most people look .. ONLINE!
People think a business without a website is fly by night, or at least very unprofessional.
If you don’t have one then Get One Now!

Excuses Not To
Why don’t some business have a website?
1. Don’t Know How – Some business owners have no idea how to start a site, when they look into it they hear all kinds of new words like Hosting, Web Development, Web Design, Flash, Java Script, Bounce Rate, SEO, Pay per click, Link trading, Social Media Integration, Mobile design, WordPress…
Its overwhelming and they just don’t know what they need..
Lucky for you! YOU FOUND US!!!
2. It Costs too Much – With this confusion it just sounds expensive. There is no way know what it would cost without first understanding which of the new words you actually need.
The cost of not having a website is even more!
Your loosing Customers,
Your loosing Business,
Your loosing money!!!
3. Do it Later – Many seem to think they will eventually get around to it or have a relative or friend that might do a site for them “someday”. Some just say they don’t have time.
It should have already been done, if you leave it for tomorrow your procrastinating !!
Do it now!!
It should have already been done!!
Excuses
4. Don’t Need One – No benefit of being on the web? I already have my customers, or I rely in word of mouth.
Of course you need a website, your competition has a website! Everyone does!!
Anyone can find you any day, any time, from any place in the world!
If they loose your business card, they can find your site!
If your customers wants to know your address so they can send you a check, its on your website!
Word of mouth now days is very much on the web!
Websites are not a luxury,
they are a must!
To be taken seriously you need to have one!
Why do you need a website?
1. We don’t use the yellow pages any more, we search the internet for a website..
2. We hardly use the local want adds any more, we check online..
3. Word of mouth has moved online with facebook, and other social media.
4. Your Website should be there 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Rain or shine, day or night.
5. Your competitors have websites.
6. If someone searches for you online and cant find you? they might go elsewhere.

Since 1995
When you search for the right web developer or web site design company, you will find a confusing wide range of pricing.
Doing your own research and deciding what you want your web page to be could save you some money. That’s as simple as looking at the web sites of others, maybe even your competitors and deciding what you want your web page to look like and what you want on it. Write it down. This will give you something to compare from one web outfit to another as well as reduce the time involved in creating the site.
So how much does a web site cost?
It varies. Over the next few paragraphs, we will explain what you might expect to pay for design, development, hosting and search engine optimization. These prices are not firm. They reflect an average of what we have done in the past. We have completed web sites for hundreds of dollars less for each type of site listed, as well as sites for many thousands over what we are listing. Again, the pricing is simply to give you an idea of what you might expect to pay for a QUALITY WEB SITE,
Lets look at some pricing > >
Web Site Pricing
As we mentioned web sites vary drastically in price. From a One page starter to a twenty thousand page (seriously) large e-com site.
Simple Starter Site
This is where a company usually begins their web presence. Starter sites are a MUST for a new business.
Way too many times we hear ” We dont have a website yet, but my brother in law is going to make one for us soon.”
Don’t fall into this procrastination!
Get you a web site NOW, your brother in law can help you with the design and he can spruce it up with his/your personal touches later. Starter web sites are generally very inexpensive and a great value for the money. Starter sites are usually simple and with lack of complexity comes an inexpensive price.
One Page Starter Site
One Page ‘Starter-Sites’ generally need the basic information about your business, company name, logo, a photo address, maybe a map, an email to you, phone number and some text telling all about your business.
Multiple Page Starter Site
Might consist of a Home page, About Us page, Contact Us page, Products and/or Services pages a few photos and a Testimonials page.
Of course each business may have unique web page requirements, but these pages are fairly common for a business. A ‘Starter Site’ with one page could be as cheap as $100 because we make so many like it we can almost do it blindfolded.
A Multipage site a Quality Design (not an Uncle Bubba’s nephew design) will take about 20-25 hours to complete and run in the neighborhood of $1500-$1800. Now with that said, we have done ‘Starter-Sites’ as little as $600.00 (see ‘Scope Document’ on previous page). We have also developed ‘Starter-Sites’ for several thousand dollars. Each project is unique in design and development time.
Advanced Site
Advanced Web Sites may be the next progression for a company web presence. The ‘Advanced Web Sites’ might include the same pages as ‘Starter-Sites’ as well as additional pages or features like:
Social Media – Connections and links to Facebook, linkedin, and other popular social media.
Blog – interactive messaging for your business, and/or your customers
Product Pages – pages to display brands, categories and/or individual projects.
Mobile Friendly pages – for use of your web pages on mobile devices
Database – Storing and Retrieving data right on your web pages, your customer information and /or your products among other things.
CMS – Content Management System – This can be anything from a simple WordPress or Joomla addition to a custom back end which could include every aspect of your business including, sales, accounting, timecards, payroll, training, and so fourth.. Almost anything you can think of.
All of the things listed above require more development time, which means increased cost.
Lets look at your costs after web site is launched >
Continuing Costs
Web Site Pricing
Once your web site is designed and developed, it is necessary to put it “out there” on the internet. That normally means paying a company a small amount to HOST your site on a web server. This is what allows a ‘Web Browser’ (visitor to your web site) to access your company web site.
Hosting for your web site can vary in price and is normally billed on an annualy quarterly or monthly basis. There are even free hosting options out on the Net, but you really do get what you pay for. So when it comes to placing your website on a host, be careful. Not all hosts are capable of the more advanced features you may want, and many of the cheaper hosts use a low price or free host period to lure you in then hit you with a HIGH (above average) price for your service to continue after your initial period is over.
Web Site Hosting fees range from FREE to $50.00 a month for ‘Starter and Advanced Sites’. Read the fine print when choosing a lesser priced or free hosting company. Are there Bandwidth restrictions? Are you provided business level site statistics and analitics? Can your host provide the latest in Anti-Spam and Anti-Virus Protection? Are you provided user-level control panels for email and spam quarantine?
Internet Bandwidth is not free to hosting companies. Nor is the cost of servers, software, upgrades and labor to maintain those servers. So how could a hosting company stay in business with free hosting? They can not, they have to generate revenue somehow.
Lets look at Marketing > >
Marketing (SEO)
Getting listed on Google
If there is one area many companies do not plan for PRIOR to having a web site designed and developed, it is Search Engine Marketing ( SEO / SEM ).
There is so much involved in getting your site listed on search engines, reference books the size of Tolstoy’s, ‘War and Peace,’ have been written on the subject. We will keep this shorter but want to stress: Research, Planning and Budgeting.
After your web site is ‘Live’, it is time to address search engine listings. Depending on the competitive nature of your industry and the targeted keyword phrases for your web site, SEO cost will vary greatly. SEO/SEM companies can dedicate multiple employees up to and over 40hrs a week to your marketing campaign. SEO Campaigns MUST BE ADDRESSED BEFORE YOU START THE DESIGN PROCESS, NOT AFTER!
The single most common issue we see from existing sites that do not rank well on search-engines is the technical manner in which the web site was coded and developed. Web Designers without fundamental search engine knowledge rarely code a site that can get listed well in search-engines. Below are areas you should address with your Web Site Development / SEO Team.
Keyword analysis (prior to copy writing!)
Technically sound SEO structure of the web site code
Site Maps for each Search Engine
‘Mobile-Ready’ version of your web site (PRIORITY FOR TODAY’S MOBILE CULTURE!)
Directory Listing Submission (paid & free Directories – Authoritative Direcorties!)
Develop a ‘Back-link’ strategy
Develop a Search Engine ‘Local Search’ strategy
Create a Blog & update it weekly or don’t do it at all.
Create a Social Networking strategy & update it daily or don’t do it at all
