Affordable Small Business Website?
/12/09
Affordable small business website design is a rather nebulous term for many. What is affordable? I have built website that are a bargain at $5,000, considering they were built for a multi-million dollar company. That is pocket change to them. But a small town plumber is probably thinking in the range of $500- $1,000 tops. Our goal is to blow that plumber away with the option to get into a small business website for $150 up front and a reasonable monthly payment. I think we have finally got the balance right.
Casting off for an affordable custom website

Building a small business website is like fly fishing. You don't expect to catch a fish the instant you cast your line. In fact, you're not in a big fat hurry for the trout to bite. They can take their sweet time skimming around just below the surface. Your lucky lure will do the trick soon enough.
The lure of your website must grab the attention of potential customers. Like the fishing fly, it needs a few feathers. However, an affordable custom website may seem as unattainable as a big fish. Many professional web designers set their fees high, a maneuver that can prevent a small business owner from bagging a custom website he or she can brag about.
One way to cast out for the big catch is to build your own website using a DIY program. However, it takes time. There's the inevitable learning curve. Meantime, you've got to run your business.

Your website and the downtown pizza parlor
/06/09
How is a pizza joint like a website? More to the point, when it comes to building an affordable business website, what can a brick-and-mortar business teach a small business owner?
Downtown, next to a furniture shop with crystal chandeliers is a pizza place that's always swamped. The harried hostess can be cranky. The wait-staff bring plastic plates, and prehistoric Grateful Dead memorabilia line the walls. The pizza's good, not exceptional. Yet customers with and without dreadlocks are always milling around the entrance, anticipating an open table.
Starting as a small business four decades ago, this pizza joint remains a town favorite. And for a good reason. It knows what its customers want (pizza with organic ingredients), and it delivers (to the table). It knows that a few bricks in its walkway are loose, and that the turbo hand-dryer in the washroom could blow nail polish clean off. However, it can pile sun-dried tomato, garden-grown basil and fresh mozzarella on crisp garlic bread in the most mouth-watering combinations.
It knows what other successful small business owners know about setting a consistent tone and sticking with it. Keep this in mind when you build your business website. Merely listing your services isn't good enough. Your customers want to believe that by hiring you, they're going to get the best service available.
Your business website should communicate competence (good pizza), and satisfaction (you deliver). And bear in mind that it's okay to show some pizazz. Every small business has a personal style -- don't be afraid to show yours

Affordable business website
/12/08
What is an affordable business website? Clearly that will vary quite a bit. Affordable to a Fortune 500 company is not affordable to a house painter or electrician. That's stating the obvious is it not? Then why do web designers charge a standard rate for a website regardless of who is purchasing it?
I had a craftsman that makes patio furniture tell me that they were quoted $10,00 for a simple business website with a small check out system involved. I said, well that is the going rate, but they are not looking for you as a client. they are looking for the client that can pay the most. It's a numbers game. They figure they have to do the same work regardless of who is buying.
But that is a weird way to approach it. Because you can automate many of the design processes, reducing the time it takes to do such a simple site. this way you can create a small business websites for the small business owner that cost under $5000.
Site O Rific has taken this to an extreme with $750 websites that are as good as anything up to $5,000. No kidding, just call around locally and see what they offer. The $750 website (if they have one) will be really embarrasing! And with Site O Rific, you do not to pay 50% up front, only $150. It's a win win.
