After bringing your business this far without a website, you’re probably wondering does my small business need a website? After all, what’s the point of having a website if you’ve already had success without one? The simplest answer is that the world we live in today demands a website. Since the internet went live in 1983, it's become the largest and most effective connector of people, places, and businesses around the world. ... A website works FOR you, even when you're asleep. If the internet is the most inter-connected community on earth, then your website serves as your own piece of real estate in this prime location. Think about how beneficial it would be if your business was sited in an exclusive location where you have access to all the best paying customers. That’s exactly what the internet offers you: a chance to put your business where it benefits you most. Having a website is critical to taking advantage of that. Still unconvinced? Here are 7 more reasons why it’s time to invest in a website for your small business.

I’m so busy right now that finding time to even update my blog is going to be a challenge. You’re a genius!"

Happy Friday! "To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart" - Thomas Watson Sr. -- thank you to Sarah Wayte Creative for the picture of me :)

I love the conversations I have with my kiddos. They're 3 and 5 and come up with the most pure life lessons. Today Miss 5 told me she really wants to be a firefighter or a teacher when she grows up. She told me that if she "tries really hard she can be anything". It was just... the way it was. It was a genuine statement. She just truly believes that she could do whatever she wanted. Do you remember having that? I do. We talked about all the things she could do to give hersel...f the best chance and at the end she said "And don't forget to believe in myself." So here's your daily reminder, take action and make sure to back it up with a whallop of BELIEF.

So you have your new website and are ready to show it off to the world. The only question now is how do you do that? You need website hosting; a location for the website to stay on the internet so that it can be seen. The problem is that not all hosts are created equal, and even then not all hosts are even easy to use or manage. ... It’s not enough to simply be a fast host anymore, you have to make sure that a host is reliable and accessible; what good is that fast host if you can’t get in touch with them when things go astray. We are obsessed with website security, performance, and uptime - so that you don't have to be. We have different packages to fit your needs, depending on your level of involvement. Send me a message and I can send you info on our rates!

But do you go down the route of building your own or should you look at paying a professional to build a website for you? The professional website vs DIY confusion is real! Here’s why you should go for a professional website build rather than doing it yourself.

Let’s talk about ‘overnight success’ for a hot minute. Most of the ‘success’ you see, with people reaching 6 figures in their businesses (or hell, getting their baby to sleep through the night...) didn’t happen fast and probably didn’t happen like the curated social media photos tell you! Most of the people who hit the jackpot also experienced: REJECTION DESPAIR... SACRIFICE ... and eventually they figured out how to make it work Thomas Edison had 1000’s of attempts before success with the lightbulb! So if you’re feeling like things are an uphill struggle right now It’s totally normal! Keep focused Stay true to your goals Run your own race Your time will come It's the same with SEO. Sure, we've had incredible results that have completely CHANGED the way our clients are able to operate their business, and they're now consistently found for their keywords on the FRONT page, but it didn't happen the next day. We look at it a bit like farming, compared to hunting. You're planting the seed. Watering it. Consider us farmers. We know when to plant the seeds, what fertilizers are best for each thing that's being planted and we love on it. We know how much to water it, and when to harvest. Let's just say, the farm has been in the family for generations and we're really proud of it.

When I think back to why we created the option to lease your site, it was an evolution really. We'd been charging up front for the site, which we still do of course, but we were seeing people struggle with the upfront cost of having a professional site. We found that not everyone needed to own their site outright from the beginning... and we felt an intense pull to help. So little by little we began to implement the leasing option and the response has been great! Not only i...s it a small investment in the beginning to get started, we set you up on a maintenance plan so that over the course of 24 months, we can help your business grow along the way! Depending on the size of the site, it can be for as little as $200 a month. It's been amazing, we're so happy to be able to help!
