Are you suffering from website overwhelm?
When people ask you if you have a website do
you cringe and say no? Would it help to have
a website that impresses your customers, makes business
easier, and leaves you room to grow your business naturally?
I've been building websites since 1996. I started with Notepad and a whole lot of passion about quality. Now am a high-level Dreamweaver developer and trainer who works with multi-million dollar clients. I did it the hard way, digging into the code and taking the knocks as I grew my business. Is that how you want to do it? I doubt it. I know how to do this stuff and I have a great recommendation for you. Spend your time and money in the smartest way possible. This advice is for any small business owner who is just getting started, and for Work at Home Moms and retirees who'd like to keep life interesting.
You can pay someone like me to walk you through the process of figuring out how your business can be profitable on the web, decide what you want to do on your site, work out all of the bits and pieces, and launch a site that you can then begin promoting....
or...
Site Build It is smart. You'll get results. Period.
You can get online quickly and more affordably with Site Build It. This tool is amazing. It makes it possible for regular people to get started quickly, and to become profitable. Go to the special page I've put online for you that highlights the benefits of Site Build It in a quick video tour. (This is a page in my own website, so you're safe just checking this out without having to give any information to anyone.)
Has she gone mad?
I know this sounds crazy! Why would a professional website designer point you a different direction? It's because I've been doing this for so long that I've seen how things work for small business owners. You need to learn how all of these Internet pieces fit together. You need to get up to speed with how to make your site show up on search engines. I doubt you can afford to pay someone like me to teach you all of that, and I doubt you have the time to learn it all. Site Build It has all those "secrets" built in. Why not buy into the most successful website-building tool ever for a price you absolutely won't believe. Really, this is the best deal I've ever seen and the smart ones do it.

Can I sell things and accept credit cards (ecommerce)? Getting started can be expensive and you will incur monthly costs if you choose to setup an online merchant account and gateway service. For some businesses that's the right ecommerce solution, but for others it can be cost prohibitive.
If you're on a tight budget, a great solution for ecommerce start-up is PayPal. We've used it for years and many of our clients find it to be a very affordable way to get going with their online stores. Learn more about PayPal here or click the PayPal link below.
The question of pay-off
77% of small business owners in 2002 agreed that a
website is a must-have for small business;
60% said they wish they had built a website for their
business sooner, and 85% would also advise other small
business owners to have a website in 2002 (CyberAtlas,
2003).
According to a 2001 Gallup poll, "Nearly
two-thirds of the small businesses who report having
a website say the Internet is important or extremely
important to their business. On a scale of
one to 10, they rate its importance a seven or higher.
"57% of small businesses said their website
has provided at least a 100% return
on investment. In fact, the majority
of small businesses with a website expect the amount
of business generated from their site to increase. In
addition, sales generated from the site, as a percent
of the total sales, show a 23% growth
in the past year. "
By mid-2001, over three-quarters of small businesses
with PCs were on the Internet (IDC, 2001).
Figures show a 160% growth rate in the number of businesses
with a website between 1999 and 2001 (CyberAtlas, 2001).
Small businesses are using the Web to add value, improve
communication, and increase sales.
And what's even more impressive if you think this
numbers are dated, online shoppers
spent a record $8.5 Billion...yes, BILLION... in November
2003. Wouldn't you like a slice of that pie?
How about even a tiny little sliver?
What's stopping you?
It's likely a combination of these things.
It seems too technical. You've probably
heard lots of unfamiliar words like eCommerce, merchant
provider, domain registration, search engine optimization,
and so on. How can you make an intelligent decision
about your business when all you hear is jargon and
tecno-speak? You can't. And you shouldn't have to.
You have lots of questions that need
answers before you can decide if this is the best decision
for your business. You want to understand how a website
will fit into what you're doing already, or how it might
change it. Common questions like:
- How do I know if a website will help my business?
- What's involved with getting a website?
- How long does it take?
- How much does it cost?
- Do I need a web designer or can I do it myself?
You can probably add a few more to that list. The point
is, you feel uncertain and you probably haven't moved
forward—no matter how much your gut is telling
you that it needs to happen—because you haven't
got answers to these questions.
You're overwhelmed with everything else
you have to do to keep your business running smoothly.
How can you possibly set aside more time to start a
website? Then the other side of your mind asks, with
the statistics on success of small business websites,
how can you not set aside the time? It's a
matter of priorities and knowing where the website fits
in.
