If you're like me, you want to know costs for my business needs. I want to know so I can plan and make decisions that will improve sales and help build efficiencies that allow us to better serve our clients. I never mind paying if I'm getting something valuable.
A recent trend for small businesses is designing your own website. It may seem easy and possibly even look ok when you're done but there's a lot you may not realize your missing and unaware of how it might actually work against you. The money you save by doing it yourself might be better spent hiring a professional.
We've done it before and we're here to do it again. We're offering our "Website in a Day" service for single professionals, businesses, events, product launches, and seasonal presentations.
I've been out meeting business owners in the area to introduce myself and my business to the community. If you read this and have a need for our services of website design, development, logo design, or any type of visual, creative design or writing, let me know and I'll stop by.
After designing and developing over 70 CMS websites in about eight years, we've seen how they might be a problem if left to inexperienced hands.
Social media is not magic. Facebook pages are not websites. What's the difference between facebook pages and your own website? Complete control of your content and exposure in search engines.
So—how valuable is your website? If you are not sure, we would be happy to help you determine that and provide the ways to improve it.
Even if your company or business consists of only one person—that's ok. The professional multitaskers (formerly known as Jack-of-all-trades) can now be efficient, highly productive, successful businesses. By the way, your marketplace is now global because of the Internet. No matter where you are located, whether you have a retail location, offices, or work from home, you have access to the world. It's up to you how far out you care to travel.
You get what you pay for. It applies to most situations. Remember that when looking for a designer or design company to design your next website. How long have they been in business? How many sites are in their portfolio? Do they have references? Are they TOO inexpensive? Many clients wind up coming to us after spending thousands on a website they don't like, and that doesn't work for them.
In 85 days from the time he first spoke to us, Frank Moretti received his first inquiry from a visitor that found his Landscape businesses website in a search. Mr. Moretti was a rather typical client, interested in getting a website online to begin taking advantage of the opportunity of being found in search engines. He was overwhelmed with information and a range of costs.

2006: "We spent 3 years paying a company to submit our website to search engines and during those years, we could count on 1 hand the number of phone calls we received from internet exposure. We contracted Timothy Wood Design, and Tim Wood, a designer who introduced us to the real importance of a complete website design, including a good looking, easy to use website and an accessible one. The search engines pick us up and our clients find us. Now we receive multiple calls a day from purchasers looking for signage. Thanks to Tim Wood and his knowledge and hard work, we have absolutely seen an increase in our sales due to our internet exposure." |
