The World Wide Web is a vast resource capable of distributing information, generating sales, building relationships, cutting costs and much more. Yet, what do most small business websites consist of? Five pages about the company and its products, and a 'Contact us' page.
Create Online Strategy
Businesses are not all alike, so why should websites be? "Five pages and a guestbook" doesn't work effectively for us and probably won't work for you, either. In our first meeting with you, we listen. Then we pull from our vast experience of over 1,000 small business websites to plan an effective strategy that maximizes your site's potential.
Design Workable Sites
At ERI, we don't look at the web as a brochure - we look at it as an opportunity. With our initial consultation, we look at your needs and determine a path to develop your website to its fullest potential and still meet your budget. We look at resources, costs, benefits, analysis, ongoing editing ... and boil it down for you in plain English.
We believe:
- Your site design should be a professionally-created image that matches your logo, colors and current marketing pieces -- not some prepackaged template or college student who's just learning.
- Your employees should have the ability to update your website instantly and at no additional cost to you.
- You should be introduced to a full range of options that meet your needs -- mailing lists, discussion boards, interactive software, etc. -- and allowed to choose for yourself.
- Instant and immediate access to visitor statistics is your right.
- We should worry about hackers, spam, and viruses -- not you.
- Hosting for your website should be 99.99999% available -- with any downtimes shorter than 5 minutes.
- You should be able to get answers in plain English, whenever you ask.
Does your website really work for you? Does it generate new sales, increase customer loyalty, pre-screen candidates, train and inform your employees or help your bottom line? Maybe it's time you considered a website that works for your business.
You can turn consumers into customers and customers into loyal fans with a well-designed website. Let us guide you in some significant ways to capture your audience and keep them coming back.
