We would rather not just set up a website and “walk away” if there is a possibility that the website is going to “sit there” and not get regular updates to it’s content.

We actually stopped designing new websites for 2-years because just about everyone we were designing websites for couldn’t keep it updated. They just didn’t have anyone on staff that could make updates to the content or make changes to the “look” of the site.

When we made the switch to WordPress – that’s when we saw that with WordPress’ Admin Panel, anyone that wants to maintain their own website can.

Most business people know the old “Product Rule”: a.) You can have the very best product, b.) of the highest quality, and c.) the lowest price: now pick two of the three. Just like, for example, BMW can’t produce the best car with the best components AND offer the lowest price of any car on the market and still make a profit. But they can make a great car with great components, but they have no choice when it comes to their cars being more expensive than other cars.

Everyone has to decide what type of service they will offer.

In our case, we decided to offer a great product with great service – but our price isn’t the lowest. It wasn’t always like this – but with 25 years experience – you tend to develop a great deal of confidence in your capabilities.

While our customer’s might like us to charge less, it’s more important to them that we “just take handle it.” They don’t want to have to worry about the job getting done right and on-time.

So if we are going to take on a job, we want to make sure that what we are doing is going to work for our customer – we don’t set up a website unless we know that there is a process in place for the website to get updated – we don’t really care who does the updating – it’s either the customer or us – but someone has to do it. Otherwise we have charged our customer for a service that we know isn’t going to get used properly in the long-run and we just don’t want to take on jobs like that.
