Here are just some of the reasons why you should choose JumpStart over other web design services (in no particular order):
JumpStart is ONLY for Small Business Owners
We only work with little guys. In fact, we have a deep passion for helping people who are confident and courageous enough to go into business for themselves. But after talking and working with thousands of small business owners we know that they're are working with very tight budgets and that they need help learning how to better market their businesses. Most companies or web designers really don't focus on the needs of home-based businesses or small businesses with 10 employees or less. We do. In fact, we have a systematic approach to help them improve their marketing without spending an arm and a leg.
JumpStart is About Good Marketing
Most web sites fail because the web designers and small business owners who created them did not focus sufficiently on customer needs. We must remember that good marketing revolves around giving customers exactly what they want, not what we think they may want. When you talk to many web designers, the first thing they do is jump right into designing the look of the site, with a vague or non-existent idea about what your customer actually needs from the site. JumpStart is different. Before we touch a single pixel or create the first page, we will take you through a Marketing Evaluation process that will help us understand who your customers are and how the web site can help you better serve their needs. This is a proven methodology. It works.
It's bad enough that most web sites don't work, but they also cost a fortune to produce! The reason for this is that designers put more emphasis on aesthetics than on functionality. We don't believe that fancy graphics and complex animations are the key to converting prospects into customers. Instead, we believe that simple, elegant designs, easy-to-use navigation and lots of great content are the ingredients of a killer web site. And as it turns out, simplicity is not only more effective, it's less expensive too. Additionally, JumpStart isn't just a web design service, it's a well-thought out process and system designed for efficiency and results. Because we systemized the process, we are able to keep our internal costs down, which create significant savings which we pass on to you.
JumpStart Offers Great Value...GUARANTEED
How many web design companies offer guarantees on their work? Well, we do. And it's very simple: if after working with us to develop your web site you don't feel like you got at least 3 times the value you paid for, we'll refund your money. We're passionate about helping small businesses succeed and we work hard to offer them maximum value, so we're confident that we can meet your expectations and we're willing to prove it.
JumpStart Web Sites Comply with Web Standards
Most small business owners don't know this, but HOW you build a website is important in determining its effectiveness. Our sites are built using the latest, search engine friendly web standards. We've moved beyond HTML and now build our sites using XHTML 1.0 Strict and Cascading Style Sheets. This makes our sites easy to update and expand, and it makes them more accessible to search engines and directories such as Google and Yahoo! Complying with web standards improves a site's usability and visibility. Two things that contribute to getting results.
JumpStart Web Sites are User and Search Engine Friendly
JumpStart sites are simple, elegant, and professional. We don't use excessive graphics because we want your pages to load quickly and to be fully indexed by search engines. Instead of focusing on fancy graphics, we focus on text and keywords, which is the essence of successful search engine optimization. In fact, JumpStart small business web sites are highly optimized from the ground up. And because they are crisp, clean and professional-looking, your customers will feel comfortable using your site.
