I help small business owners who want their websites to look better without it costing them an arm and a leg. They need a website that effectively attracts new clients and allows their existing clients to give them referrals more easily.

Are any of the following obstacles preventing you from having your ideal client-attracting website?

You’re naturally concerned about the financial investment

A website is a significant investment. Paying a web designer a $1,500 to $15,000 fee can be a very daunting and risky prospect – especially if the website then fails to pay itself off within a reasonable time-frame. And then every time you want to update a price, change a date, or improve the copy on your website, you have to pay a designer to do it. And if you want a change made quickly, you may have to pay a premium rate. What you need is a website that doesn’t cost the Earth to create and maintain, and that quickly pays for itself rather than becoming a white elephant you’d rather forget about.

You’re tech-savvy but not a complete geek freak

Web design and programming are highly specialized skills. Even if you have the guts and geekiness (and a whole lot of spare time) to try to create your own website, there comes a point when you get stuck and start banging your head against a brick wall.

Instead of wasting your time on something that isn’t your specialty and isn’t any fun, you want delegate at least the hardest parts of creating/maintaining your website to someone else.

But you don’t want to risk wasting your money, either, on a bad designer. What you need is just enough knowledge about the principles of highly effective web design and usability to either do it yourself (if you really enjoy it) or avoid getting ripped off by someone you’ve hired.

Or even better, you’d like to be able to choose from a range of highly effective client-attracting designs that just need a few tweaks (if any) to suit your business.

You rebel against the thought of depending on a designer for everything

One of the qualities that unites small business owners is their natural drive to be in control of their lives and free to improve things when inspiration strikes. So, it’s very natural to resist giving up all control of your website to a web designer because then the designer is the only one who can create it and maintain it.

And only being able to improve your website when your designer has the time to do it (and when you have the money to pay for it) makes the whole process painfully slow and unexciting. It’s like having your hands and feet tied.

If you wake up with a great idea for a new headline to try, or you want to experiment with a new price for a product, you should be able to make a quick change to your copy in 5 minutes flat, or delegate it to a junior assistant because it’s so easy. It’s your website after all, and you deserve to be in control.

Your website simply doesn’t work well enough

You may already have a website which you either created yourself or hired someone else to design, but you’re not getting good enough results from it. If the website is poorly designed, it may even be harming your image and reputation. (Yes, your website could not just be failing to attract more clients, it could actually be repelling potential clients.)

Your website has become a pain in the backside. You may know why it’s not working, or you may not have the foggiest idea. Either way, your website isn’t bringing in the income you would reasonably expect, and something has to change before you waste any more money on it.

I can help people in a variety of ‘helping’ professions, such as:

• massage practitioners
• vets

You are likely to be successful working with me if…

1. You provide high-quality products/services that you stand behind. I’m not interested in helping dishonest people who want to get rich overnight online by ripping people off.
2. You are willing to learn. You’re not the kind of person who only hears what they want to hear and ignores everything else.
3. You’re not a tire-kicker or time-waster. If you’re not serious about having a highly effective, professional and extremely user-friendly website that you can easily update yourself, and all you care about is getting a website done at a bargain-basement price, please go elsewhere.
