Integrity in
Hosting
Some web designers will purchase very low-cost hosting
accounts, and then resell pieces of that hosting
to their web clients . . . at a much inflated price.
They often succeed at this practice simply
because the web clients don't know the
difference.
It's important to
host your website
with a company that does not oversell its
bandwidth, and is very security conscious. All
of which can mean a lot to your website page
ranking in the search engines.
I refer my web
clients to hosting with a reliable host,
12WonderWebServices.com
Standard hosting will only cost you $4.95 a month.
I do not
mark-up and resell hosting to my clients! |

A website is like having
an extra salesperson
who doesn't ask for
a commission! |

Long-gone are the days
when potential customers scoured the newspaper ads or
looked through the Yellow Pages to find a business.
Today’s tech-savvy consumers more often than not turn
to the Internet where they can simply type a few words
into Google or another search engine and with a click
of their mouse find the type of business they are
looking for. Will they find your website there? |

Any
Concerns About Hiring a Female Web Designer?
I wanted to help put you at ease about working with a
woman as your web designer by providing some of
the responses given by a number of my web clients (both men
and women), telling why they were happy they hired
me
for their web project(s).
-
You listened
attentively to me while I attempted to tell you
what I envisioned, but wasn’t sure how to
achieve in a website.
-
You clearly
understood my needs and offered insights from a
fresh view.
-
You were calming,
encouraging, and supportive through the entire
project.
-
I didn't know what to write for
my website, and you were willing to do all of
that for me at no extra charge. I know you did a
lot of research and got to know what people
needed to know about me!
-
You could put
things into layman’s terms without making me
feel stupid.
-
You had the
expertise to guide me to what I needed when I
wasn’t sure what I needed to attract and hold
the interest of people for my website.
-
You were open to
dialogue and suggestions so that I felt that we
were a team instead of a “professional dictator
and a lost soul client.”
-
You seemed to be
highly intuitive about what would benefit my
business website presentation.
-
It was like talking to a normal person, because
when I have dealt with "geek types" in the past,
I find they were very short on interaction people-skills.
-
You listened so
well to what I was trying to accomplish with my
new business that you helped identify key information
that, as a man, I would normally not think of
and it's been a tremendous boon to my business.
-
You were good at
explaining complex tasks and functions of the
website.
-
You always made me
feel like you operate from a strong desire to
please and are a very positive woman who makes
great marketing suggestions.
-
You suggested a
visual format and good points that would help
achieve what I wanted to impart to viewers
finding my website.
-
You think of all things people
want to know, you address their feelings in a
professional and conscientious manner. You are a
web designer who is truly concerned with giving
clients a good product.
-
I found you have
the ability to stay on task and take
responsibility to move ahead and complete things
versus procrastinating and putting off tasks.
-
I felt comfortable
in our discussions because of your ability to
listen, communicate, and express your ideas
clearly.
-
You asked
questions and got to know my business and what
we were about before jumping into a website
design.
-
You understood my
fears and patiently helped eliminate them.
-
As a client, I'm
busy with several projects, plus trying to
balance the home front, and it helps to have a
woman on the other end who understands this.
-
I think a woman's
perspective is important because most women
like to shop, so a woman will know what
appeals in the marketing aspects.
-
You did what many
others would not have done, by doing additional
research, you insured that what you developed
was a website that captured, displayed and
provided the information that we wanted people
to find when accessing our website.
-
You were not
egotistical, competitive, arrogant or touchy
during our web project.
-
You were
detail-oriented and creative throughout the
project, and didn't gloss over anything or take
shortcuts.
-
When I came to you
after my web guy failed to finish my web
project, I found you to be much more creative
and enthusiastic about improving a bad situation
and getting it done in a positive manner.
-
I liked it that
you are patient and didn't rush through
discussions. Your patience allowed me as much
time as I needed to feel like I had covered
sharing my ideas for my website. In the process
a lot of new creative ideas came from our
relaxed conversation.
-
You are able to “get to” what an
organization is all about and present that on a
website. In addition, you are great to work
with!
-
I wanted a web
designer who who "gets" what I am imagining, who
can guide me on the design, text writing, who
responds to updates quickly, and is also
affordable. You were all of those things and
more. (More

The
Differences in Web Designers
If you feel overwhelmed at the
thought of selecting the right web designer, you are
absolutely right to be concerned and careful when
selecting a web designer!
There are many different levels of web designers, from
fantastic, to wannabes, so I truly understand that it
can be very confusing for you to know who to hire to
make your website. You certainly will want a web
designer who is a proven professional.
