 Usually when we get calls from potential clients, particularly owners of small businesses, the first question we are asked is, "How much is this going to cost?" We at CINIVA certainly understand the concern. For some, translating a business to the Internet is breaking into new, uncertain territory. People may think of a flashy, dynamic website and automatically assume great expense was involved in its creation. True, CINIVA is proud to have a number of prominent names in our portfolio, yet we are flexible enough to cater to clients with small advertising budgets.
You know the old adage, you get what you pay for? Shop around other website design companies and consider their pricing. You might think $500 is reasonable for website design and hosting (and it can be, depending upon the nature of site), but is it reasonable for a business trying to succeed? Ask yourself what $500 gets you in terms of design, hosting, and support: - Are you getting a unique design, or a cookie-cutter template with a few adjustments?
- Are you getting a back-end content management system, or are you going to have to constantly upload pages via FTP?
- Are you getting quality hosting with a nationally-renowned company, or is your site being hosted on a server in somebody's garage where anything could happen?
- Are you getting Web accessible e-mail accounts for everyone in your company, or do you have to rely on free accounts and be exposed to SPAM?
- Are you getting 24/7 support when problems arise, or are you plagued by unanswered e-mails to a design company that just slapped together a site and sent you on your way?
$500 can get you quite a bit, but is it getting you enough? Your business is your livelihood, isn't it worth the investment?
The CINIVA Solution for Small Business CINIVA is proud to cater to all businesses, large and small. Since 1999, we have worked with entire county tourism departments, large entertainment venues, and small brick and mortar establishments. We hold a special place in our hearts for the small business owner, and have enjoyed meeting with many of them over the years. We admire their drive to succeed, their creativity in offering niche products and services, and regardless of whether they take on our design services we champion their causes and wish them success. When you consider launching a website to complement your physical business, you are doing more than placing and advertisement on the Internet. You are building an online identity. You are presenting an image that consumers are going to forever associate with your products and services; therefore, you need to get it right the first time. Your site must be professional yet user-friendly, functional and attractive. $2000 may seem like a lot of money to spend on a website, but when you consider how much you spend on other things like print and radio advertising, $2000 for a website is the best investment you can make. For just $2000, CINIVA offers you: - A user-friendly content management system even a novice web user can master
- The ability to add unlimited sub pages to your site
- An image gallery for simple photo hosting
- An attractive, unique template designed to enhance your brand
- E-mail accounts you can access from the Web or apply to your e-mail software
- Initial SEO consultation and applications
- Efficient customer service
Unlike print advertisements that end the second somebody recycles a newspaper, your website is permanent. It is colorful, alive, and allows visitors to better interact with your business. When you get right down to it, the price is definitely right. Contact CINIVA today at 757.499.1990 to schedule a free consultation. |
