How are the JumpStart Web Design services different from other web design companies?

JumpStart web design services take a drastically different approach to designing your small business web site. Unlike most designers, our main objective is to help you get results, which means helping you attract more customers and increase your sales. We focus heavily on marketing first and design second. Our belief is that a web site is just a marketing tool, which is rendered completely ineffective, if it is not driven by a solid small business marketing strategy.

Before we do any work on your web site, we work with you extensively to fine tune your marketing message and WOW your potential and existing customers.

How is JumpStart better than FREE, do-it-yourself web design plans?

When it comes to FREE do-it-yourself plans, the old adage, "you get what you pay for," certainly applies. Although do-it-yourself plans are technically FREE to use, they come saddled with hidden costs that are not immediately apparent to small business owners.

For one thing, these plans are not as easy to use as they would have you believe. They do come with a learning curve and you can certainly expect to spend a lot of hours working on building your site. It can be a frustrating and unpleasant experience. "Do-it-yourself" means you are all alone to design your site without any guidance from a knowledgeable expert that can educate you about best practices and advise you about all the possible options available to you. Furthermore, sites created with do-it-yourself wizards look very unappealing and cookie-cutter in nature. And to top it off, these sites lock you into the program the created them, they are notoriously difficult to expand and customize, which limits your options as a small business owner trying to promote their business online.

With JumpStart, we take care of all the "weird" technical stuff and leave you free to focus on what really matters: your marketing strategy.
