You might not know this yet, but for any business, and particularly a small business, the process of creating a website will push you out of your comfort zone.
You’ll need to think about your business from your customers’ point of view and often in a completely different way. You’ll have to do some big thinking, to find the elusive words that describe how your offering is unique and to blend them with the ones your customers are using to search for the thing you sell in the first place.
You’ll have to get clear about where your business is actually headed and how you can leverage your new website to be the stand-out choice more often than not.
If getting a new website for your small business is at the top of your to-do list, why not partner with a web consultant who will help you on your journey with best-practice responsive design, common-sense SEO tactics and easy to understand marketing strategy, without the big agency price.

HAS YOUR WEBSITE CONTENT BEEN WRITTEN OR REVIEWED BY AN EXPERIENCED SEO COPYWRITER?
A website is only as good as the words on the page. I often get web design referrals from within my network of copywriter friends, because they know I put a high priority on ensuring that the site is created with best SEO practice in mind. On projects like this, they write the copy and I create the site.

In an agency or corporate environment, these roles would be assumed by different people or teams of people who do only that.
For most small businesses, agency pricing would blow the budget sky high, so what’s the alternative ?
A small business specialist
You obviously need someone who can do all these things (or has people who can do those things for them) but
I’m not suggesting you think small, you should think HUGE and make sure that anyone who is advising you, has the tools to help you get there.
But how do you know if they do ? How do you know if you’re talking the right person ?
For a start, are they listening ?
80% of my clients report having previously felt enormous frustration at not being listened to and having trouble getting hold of their “website person”.
Are you their target market ?
My niche is small business owners who are inexperienced at web development. I don’t work for big business because I don’t want to. My skills in each of the key areas required to produce a website, are at
Are they the cheapest price you could find ?
If so, step away, then run. We all want to save money, but in a small business there are heaps of things you can save money on, that won’t compromise the overall result of a website. Use the cheapest domain name provider you can find, the most cost effective hosting provider that offers a reliable 24/7 helpdesk and the most reasonably priced fonts and images available.
Why should I spend more money than I have to ?
A professional theme, the best copywriter you can afford and an organised and efficient designer to put it all together will get you a long way towards your dream of a website you love.
