Do you need to increase your business' products and services awareness, or to communicate with your customers more to increase sales? Do you typically:

• Post or mail flyers, brochures, and postcards to get this done?
• Advertise in Yellow Pages, magazines, or industry journals?
• Rely on word of mouth advertising?

As painful as it sometimes is, communicating your products and services to your customers is a business necessity. Communication using traditional methods can be expensive, time consuming, and may not offer you the ability to express your products, services or general message with the depth or breadth you wish to have. Communicating updates such as monthly specials or product/services additions & enhancements further compound this problem due to the non-real-time nature of traditional channels. That is where the Internet comes in.

Getting your business on the Internet offers you a tremendous benefit as you can provide your visitors with the information they need, and today expect online, to make their purchasing decisions. You can provide as much or as little information, but typically more, well organized, information is best. The Internet as a communications medium is very inexpensive compared to other channels, so cost should not become a barrier for you to get your business online.

There are two basic approaches to getting your business on the Internet. While we believe our approach to be most beneficial to you, we will take the time to cover the alternative.

In the past the only approach was to get with a professional web developer, provide them with the overall strategy for your website, the general look & feel you wish to have, and then provide them the information you wish to include on your website. They would then develop the content that would make up your website. They would typically help you locate a web hosting provider who would charge you a monthly fee to host your content so your site would be available on the Internet. This process would typically take between 30-45 days and cost from several hundred to several thousand dollars. The table below illustrates the fundamental differences between hiring a web developer or using our service and doing it yourself.

The only benefit of hiring a web developer is the "sky is the limit" approach to your website creation. Anything possibly conceivable can be done - for a cost. The downsides are many however, as you have to manage multiple relationships with the web developer and the web hosting provider. Additionally, ongoing flexibility and turn-around time is sacrificed when you need to make changes as they all need to be coordinated with multiple parties and ongoing costs typically add up very quickly.

Our approach breaks away from the past and provides you an easy to use system, which includes web hosting, to rapidly create a website for yourself. We offer you a wide variety of tools and choices so you can easily create a very professional and attractive website.
