It’s amazing how many options a business or any business has for website development online.  All shapes, sizes, platforms, and features out there to help.  From prior experience, working with other web design companies I’ve noticed a pretty common pattern that I call a “Web Designers’ Quick Fix.”  Business owners need to be smart about how they shop around- because most web design companies are a dead-end.

Great salesmen say everything a customer wants to hear.  If the customer asks them to jump, the say how high?  Unfortunately a lot of business owners that I’ve worked with need insight, consultation, and professional advice.  The web appears to be a goldmine with instant success, but any web marketer realizes the challenge at stake.  If the customer doesn’t ask about how to be successful- the web design company doesn’t worry about it.  If the customer doesn’t ask, “will I even get any results?”  The web design company doesn’t respond.  The “Web Designers’ Quick Fix” is to simply do exactly what the customer wants- no questions, no advice, no professional insight.  The customer is happy once the custom website is up, but for how long?  Good luck.

I’m speaking to the businesses that realize they need help.  That realize they may not be an expert.  I’m also speaking to web design companies who offer the “Web Designers’ Quick Fix” and those who really service businesses to succeed.  If you’re the latter – thanks!  I dare say that everyone wants success online – so let’s make it happen.
