Who Needs a Website?

Today companies big and small market on the Internet. They may have a Website or blog, or they may just promote their brand, products and services on social networks like MySpace, auction sites like eBay, marketplaces like Amazon, and free blog services like Blogger. Some use their Website or blog hand in hand with those and other services.

The companies who integrate all these networks to provide exactly what their market wants do extremely well, and are setting the bar high for their competition. Perhaps you have used one or some of the above services and have reached the limit of what you can do with them. Perhaps you want to polish your image or brand with your own domain name and website. I can help you with that also.

WordPress allows you to combine all the best features of a Website (professional image for your company on the Internet) with the unique features of a blog (easy content management provides amazing responsiveness to your market). What’s more, I can show you how to get the most out of WordPress while making it play well with relevant networks that will allow you to penetrate your market in ways a simple Website can’t.

I’ve built a lot of Websites. I stopped counting after 200. I’ve built small ones, huge ones, easy ones and complicated ones. I can build you any type of Website you want, but I’d rather not. Too many people want a Website because "Everyone else has one." That’s the worst reason to build a Website.

Instead, we’ll look at what you want to accomplish, make a comprehensive plan in plain English and together work towards that goal. Your Website won’t be technology for technology’s sake, but a tool that will help your business grow and prosper.

Have a big idea? Let’s talk.

You already have a Website you’re less than happy with? I also fix, upgrade, re-design and re-program older sites so you don't have to start all over again.
