The revealing truth about hiring the right web designer for your business, and the pitfalls of not doing so.
Let's face reality for a bit ...
You are here because you are running a business or are an entrepreneur of sorts, and you have got yourself in too deep trying to keep up with the overwhelming demands of today’s technology and the attention span of today’s generation.
You have either been hacking away at your own site for a couple of years and it still sucks … or you gave your nephew a shot at building it over the summer … or maybe you just bought the domain name and have no idea where to start.
Whatever the case may be, I can help!
Oh the headline? Yes, it’s 100% true, we’ll get back to that later.
You see, the truth is, most web designers will build you a great looking website with fancy buttons, some cool stock photos, and a cookie-cutter template and send you on your way, without any idea about what it is that your business needs and what your goals are.
For just a second, sit back, relax and let me paint the perfect picture for you ...
- Imagine – Your website, that looks extremely outdated, has been brought to light and has a modern day look and feel, it properly portrays your brand’s voice and identity, and now has a sense of professionalism.
- Imagine – Your website, now loads extremely fast, works across all devices, it is 100% secure and converts traffic into paying customers.
- Imagine – Providing a better user experience so that your customers praise you and your business across the board to friends and family. (note: that is FREE marketing)
- Imagine – You now have an effective digital strategy, content plan, pay-per-click campaigns, email marketing, landing pages, and a customer growth plan that actually works.
- Imagine – Your social media presence has gone from 7 family members, 10 friends, 20 colleagues and employees to thousands of followers that have liked your page and followed you, they see your ads and content every day, and they go to your website and buy your stuff every day.
- Imagine – You now have a pro-active web developer, that can oversee the technology behind your website, update things when they need to be, and is constantly looking out for your business’ best interest online.
- Imagine – Not only am I handling the technical side of your website, but I can analyze the traffic and make informed adjustments and suggestions for your marketing efforts, so you can save money on advertising, and really dial in on what's working best.
- Imagine – When people search for your products or services, your site is on the first page of Google.
Can you see it? Can you believe it? Here is what I am offering you …
NOT just a website.
NOT just some template, and code slapped together.
NOT false hopes …
When it comes to your business online, I am offering you PEACE OF MIND!
Well of course, there are always skeptics, lack of trust and those who doubt ...
I get it and it comes with the territory of doing business on the internet.
Why? Because you have doubt, or maybe you don’t feel you can trust me just yet.
Maybe you’re thinking: “It’s probably too good to be true!”
Surely you want to ask me so many different questions like:
– What makes my web design so special?
– What my SEO strategy is and is it guaranteed?
– What my social media strategy?
– How I can improve the user experience of your business website?
You want to know everything, but most importantly, you want to look into my eyes and ask me:
“Hey Matt, what makes you so different than others?”
There it is! The toughest question you’ll ever ask a doer!
There are many people offering the same services; what makes me so different than others?
Well, there are several reasons I am different than other “web designers” …
- First and foremost, my in-depth understanding of business. I always take the time to learn and understand your business' needs and goals and how they align with your website. All the work I do is done with an ROI in mind.
- A designer, a developer and a marketer all wrapped up in one. I believe this gives me an edge because as a designer, I can foresee the possibilities of the development process, and as a developer I can foresee the needs of the marketing efforts and the need to produce an ROI.
- A long term relationship. I am here, here for you and here for your business. This is my full time job, and it is truly my passion to help businesses thrive online.
- I take ownership of the work I do. I treat every project as if it was my own business, my thoughts, ideas and creativity get poured out into your website as if I was building a business of my own.
- Last, but not least, is my guarantee. That's right I have a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you do not see positive results from the work I do, and it doesn't meet or exceed your expectations, I will refund your money, no questions asked.
