The Value of a Good Website

One of the most important things we need to do is prove the value of our products. If you don't see the value in something you won't pay for it. People don't blink at spending $400 for an iPhone but hesitate to spend 99 cents on an App for it. They see the value of the phone itself, but not necessarily that of the App. People judge value constantly when they consume products and services, and a lower price doesn't necessarily sell someone. However people are very good at looking at at similar item and seeing the differences in value.

Take gyms. Say you go to a high end athletic club. They have Racquetball courts, Squash courts, basketball, a swimming pool, indoor tracks, multiple rooms of the most recent high end exercise equipment, a full slate of classes from Spin, to Yoga, to Kung Fu. Club sports, and leagues. Personal trainers, with free advice with membership, etc. Plus the place just looks fantastic, it's clean, it's gorgeous and well lit. Someone comes in and asks how much it costs and upon finding out it's $50 a month they respond "$50 a month? Why on earth would I join? I can go to the gym underneath my church they have a few machines and it only costs $5 a month! This is 10 times as much!"

The person focused on price is missing the value that the more expensive athletic club brings. The difference is a shoddy moldy gym with a few 30 old machines in a windowless low ceilinged basement, and a modern gorgeous facility and all it brings. The more expensive athletic clubs add value over the cheaper ones, far making up for the price difference. Cheap is rarely good. Good is rarely cheap.

It's the same thing with our products. "Why should I pay you guys $250 a month, when I can go to X and get a website for $25?" The answer is that we provide a much higher value and level of service than you would for the $25. The websites we provide people are far more than 10 times superior to a $25 website, in many ways.

We offer custom high quality design, based on your business, not a generic template. This is important because it helps set you apart from your competition visually. People search for services online and often pick the best looking 3 they find. Ours helps you be one of the best looking over the cheaper sites.

In addition we provide a tremendous amount of additional functionality specifically targeted to your business, from being able to change your content yourself whenever you want without having to wait for someone to respond to your phone call or email. You automatically get a high level of security on your website and tons of features standard, from blogs, and forums, to social media features and tie ins, as well as for a modest additional fee your own online store, secure, and within your own site you can easily control and modify. All this gives you a much bigger ROI than by getting a site that does nothing, from a company that provides you no specific guidance.

Also we provide personal support. We are there to guide you every step of the way by phone and email (and sometimes even in person) to help you make the most of your website. It's in our interest for you to not only quickly see the value of the website, but realize that it's actually a steal for you. We want you to feel that the money you spend with us on your website is the best money you can spend.

If you're still not sure exactly how we can help your business, or what it'll mean for your bottom line, we urge you to email or call us at 877-649-6025. We'd love to talk with you.
