For as long as I have been building Websites for friends and clients I have been asked the same question by almost all of my clients. What is the difference between you and the other web designers out there ? At first I used to laugh and just say "I am a lot cheaper," but after being in the business a while really learned what it was that separates me from the others out there. In a "nutshell" I look at a website as a business, and most web designers look at a website as a flier or even worse a business card.
I believe that your website can be a salesperson, cashier, and most important an investment not an expense. If your website costs you more money than it brings in then you need a new website. These days everyone feels like they have to have a website for their business, so they higher a web designer, slap up a few pages and that's the end. There is just one problem with that. Your website is now just a new expense.
To truly have a good website you need to create a website that will generate leads or even sales. Forget about having a realy nice website that looks "flashy", it is much better to have thew hardest working website, not the best dressed. There are more important things to worry about like getting picked up by search engines and lead generation. I build "meat and potato" websites not tofu websites. |
