Design Services Designing
a website takes time and patience. But
most importantly it takes vision. A
vision that is best known by the business
owner. The business owner must then
explain to a designer what they want
constructed, educate the designer about
how their business works and hope the
designer integrates all the elements
possible to make the website sucessful.
After
years of taking ideas from business
owners and assembling them into a working
websites, we realized the process was
slow and inefficient. We found ourselves
charging top dollar to change a product
price or post an ad for a weekend sale.
The client was paying for everything and
the website never really met the
expectations of the business owner,
usually because of the lack of desire to
spend their life savings on one design.
The
truth is, it does not take a $100 an hour
webmaster to type in some information,
update prices or make design changes. It
would be like hiring a "professional
floor sweeper", with a little
practice, pretty much anyone can do it.
And
further, if a website is sucessful, then
the business owner will need to know how
to access invoices, charge credit cards,
manage advertising and sales and support
clients via the web.
If
they can do all that, they can manage
their own website. If they can't, then
they don't need the website at all.
That,
coupled with the increase in general
knowledge of computers and familiarity
with the internet led us to design
flexible and customer manageable websites.
A system that allowed us to create
extensive graphic designs while letting
the customer manage all the content and
maintenence and still have a profesional
look.
Another
reason for moving away from website
design is the vast amount of
misrepresentation of ability and
knowledge by "Webmasters".
Today, it seems anyone with an internet
connection is calling themselves a
webmaster and offering packages from
around one hundred dollars to several
thousand, 99% of them, have little to
offer. Some even set up shop on free
hosting systems. If a webmaster does not
even have their own website, how can you
belive them when they tell you that you
need one.
Rather
than trying to educate the general public
about what they will get from one of
these webmasters, we decided to under cut
them so deep, there would be no reason to
use them. Essentially phasing out the
webmaster and moving the business owner
into the driver seat.
We
built thousands of designs and put them
up in a system that not only offers
complete graphics, but programing,
hosting and support for under $20 a month.
In the
past we would not even begin a design
without at least a $1000.00 deposit. Now
we can set up an entire website, complete
with shopping cart, credit card
processing and graphcs for just $20. But
best of all, your website can be
operational within a few hours.
You
get a profesional website, built by a
company that has built thousands of
websites, with no hassle, no problems and
for a cost of next to nothing.
We do
offer custom template design for anyone
wishing to spend a few extra dollars.
Templates can be plugged into your
website and used anytime just by clicking
one button. This makes changing an entire
website for a holiday or special sale,
easy and affordable. Custom templates
also insure that you have a unique and
special design that is not in use by any
other website.
The
internet has changed and we do not design
websites in the same manner as we did in
1997, but the concept is the same and now
everyone can afford an attractive and
profesional e-commerce website.
