Don’t Be Held Hostage By Your Website Designer
Does this sound familiar? You needed to add a new product or web page to your website. So you called your website designer or programmer. Only they’re weren’t answering the phone, or their email, or perhaps they’re were so busy with other projects they couldn’t make the changes or updates you needed for another 3-4 days. It happens all the time. It’s not only frustrating, but it’s no way to run an online business.
Well. we believe the control over your website content needs to be in your hands. Because the more control you have over your website content, the better equipped you’ll be to immediately respond to an ever changing online marketplace.
Why would a company who offers web design and maintenance services give up possible future fees for doing this for you? Here’s the two-part answer.
- As fast as we are at updating web sites, if you have control over specific items, they can be updated and edited RIGHT NOW. No need for phone calls, e-mails, faxes, voice mail, returned calls and spell checking. Items can be added and updated immediately.
- The faster you can respond to your customers, the more competitive your company will be — and the faster your business will grow. Which, in turn, means you’ll need more creative services for your new print advertising campaign, outdoor ads, brochures, web banners and social media marketing. You were thinking about Kristof Creative, right?
