Direct Flights Only
Our web design process is a straight line from start to finish...no crazy 'marketing
development', 'administrative' or 'site management' fees. |
| 2. |
We're Value-Able
We'll show you lots of ways to reduce costs in our first conversation. If you like
we'll also give you candid feedback about your business idea and explain many of
the most common hurdles to launching a successful online business. (Not every good
idea is good business idea and just because you build it doesn't mean they will come.) |
| 3. |
Ultra-Fast Updates
Time and time again we've read online articles proclaiming that 'any good website
has it's own content management system (CMS)'. Well we know from experience that's
not always so. Sometimes a CMS is the right choice and sometimes not. Call us and
together we'll figure out the real-world costs (including your time). |
| 4. |
Candid Conversations
We're very happy to *not* sell you products and services you *don't* need. Writing
a blog and collecting email addresses may be in vogue but they're not features that
every online business owner needs. We're available to have a frank discussion about
your business marketing so we can explore which marketing avenues will have the greatest
yield. |
| 5. |
Search No More
We'll tell you the truth about Search Engine Marketing (SEM). In fact we can right
now...it's not a no-brainer for every business. Generally speaking the cost of SEM
is strongly linked to the specificity of your business - if you want to market a
very specific service in a very specific area then SEM can be a bargain. |
| 6. |
We Understand Trust
We're specialists at brochure websites for service industries as their focus is to
establish trust and rapport. Few people will buy on price if they doubt the quality
of the service. Prove that your service is trustworthy or your product has exceptional
quality and you have far more latitude in naming your price. |

This Isn't Our Hobby
We're not your neighbor's computer-whiz nephew who wants to try making a business
website. We're in our 40's and understand a little better about doing what needs
to be done (even when it's Saturday at 11 p.m. and the gang is calling you to go
out and play). |
| 8. |
Unmatched Experience
We've created hundreds of websites in our ten years and many more to come. |
| 9. |
Plain Language
We're happy to demystify the complex and empower you in the process. |
| 10. |
No Crazy Contracts
Our work agreements are written in plain language and all costs are itemized. |
| 11. |
No "Pretty" Designs
Making the sale is about establishing trust and "pretty" websites just don't cut
it. |
| 12. |
Quick Turnaround
Need a starter website in a day? We can do it. Rush fee? Absolutely not. |
| 13. |
Non-Profit Friendly
We're happy to provide discounted rates for non-profit organizations. |

The Long First Talk
We recently attend a freebie sales seminar (quite good... from The Training Center)
and the speaker asked "How long is a good first sales conversation?"
Speaker went around the room...folks typically said 5, 10, 15 min. Came to me. Still
wasn't quite sure but I sure knew they were longer than 15. So I thought about the
last three I had and answered "no less than an hour... often 90 minutes easy."
Speaker asked me why so? I said "There's about eight inevitable questions to
address and if they don't ask me them I'll tell them what they are. You have to give
them time to grapple with all this stuff even though it's not that technical...they
just don't know it's not that technical."
Speaker paused... said "That's the right time frame...anything less feels like
a pitch to them."
So when you call us please understand that discussing your website can't be done
in 5 minutes. Please schedule an hour or tell us when we can talk for a while. |
