Get a Website that Generates Revenue for Your Business
- A solid foundation to start your online marketing.
- Custom design and functionality.
- Satisfaction guaranteed.
Many small business owners seem to believe they have to start really small with their first website or else spend more money than they can afford to become productive online. While starting small can help save money, it doesn’t have to be ineffective.
By focusing on the one or two most high value products or services your business offers, you can save time and money and yet still get focused traffic, engaged visitors, and targeted leads.
What Is a Small Business Website?
A small business website is basically a website like any other, but when we create it, we already have certain common features and design conventions in mind that will help speed up the process. This small business advantage saves time and money compared to what most people call “custom website development.”
By using an industry leading, fast as lightning, general purpose WordPress theme and a handful of plugins, your small business website can be unique without breaking the bank. We offer this service because we believe it will help your business grow and avoid the need for a new website every two or three years.
We don’t just install a free theme and plugins and leave the configuring up to you. Based on our experience and past results for small businesses, we provide access to premium software and set everything up for you in the best way possible, which would take the average businessperson years of research to replicate. We do all this to help you focus on what you’re good at: serving your customers and running your business.
Benefits
There are some great benefits to building a new website specific to your need. We wrote a whole blog article on the benefits of small business websites over custom websites, in case you’d like to learn more:
- Proven Value: Your design will be based on proven design conventions to deliver business value without the need for extensive testing, while still representing you brand with custom colors, fonts, and images like icons and logos.
- Price: Reduced overall cost is one factor that most businesses will identify easily. It’s not hard to compare $3K for a site guaranteed to achieve your goals and $10K for a custom site that may not meet your needs anyway.
- Personalized Experience: We offer a hands-on experience tailored to your specific needs, from design choices and features to showing you how to edit your content and layout in the admin section of your site.
- Full Control: Unlike Wix and Square Space, a small business website on WordPress is not locked down to a limited number of controls. It’s open and flexible for you to change however you like, but we also know the best practices that keep your website from taking on technical debt in the process that can damage your website’s performance in the long run.
- Expert Support: We offer website support as part of your hosting service so that you can save even more time and be hands-off when it comes to updating info on your website. This covers more than just maintenance and software updates.
- Easily Self-managed: All our websites are designed on the backend to be just as easy to manage as they are to use on the front end. That means your admin section will be streamlined for you or your staff to use with ease, because we remove unnecessary distractions and potentially dangerous settings. We provide an admin account so you can dig in to those if needed.
How We Do Revenue Generating Websites
Here at Woodruff Multimedia, we treat you like a member of our family to help you discover the value you deserve while still saving you time and money.
We are able to use AI to get ideas for your content or generate your content for you to a degree, but it must be reviewed by an expert or enthusiast to pass Google’s self assessment guidelines for helpful content. We can work with you to find other ways to reduce costs if you prefer not to use AI generated content and your budget is limited, which may include providing instructions and ideas to you or your staff to carry out easier tasks, working with freelancers/trainees, or providing Woodruff Multimedia with testimonials and word-of-mouth referrals.
