One thing that all small businesses need these days is a web site, the simple fact is that people have come to EXPECT that you have a “www dot something”, and start to doubt your credentials if you don’t. It’s also a great way to gain exposure for your business, perhaps generating interest from places you hadn’t even thought of.
Particularly in today’s rough economic climate, cost-effective ways of marketing your business are essential. The natural instinct for many is to cut back on marketing and similar costs, with a web site you help ensure that your business is “out there” being seen, when others are running for shelter.
For small businesses, the two biggest barriers to having a web presence are a lack of technical skills or knowledge, and the high costs of hiring a professional web design company.
Costs can be several thousand dollars, with high ongoing monthly fees, quite possibly on top of your web hosting fees themselves.
This is why Avallach Technology have continued to champion the cause of small business, by introducing a new service, “Express Web“.
Aimed primarily at sole traders and small business operators, we use our skills and experience to craft a web presence for you, at very affordable prices. Exact costs may vary depending on the exact nature of your site, but the following comparison will give a good idea of the value for money we offer:
Competitor’s Quote
- Basic web site recommended budget… between $3000 and $6000
- Monthly recurring fees… between $80 and $200 per month
- Additional costs may include web hosting… between $30 and $50 per month
Over the course of just 12 months, this could total as much as $9000 – a huge dent in any small business’s budget.
Express Web
- Initial set up… between $200 and $400
- Monthly subscription… between $45 and $90 per month
- Web hosting and domain fees… zero cost, included in the package
Even in the upper range, this gives a first year total under $1500. Much easier to digest I’m sure.
If you’re concerned that these cost differences are achieved by cutting corners, or providing second-class service, then think again. The simple fact is Avallach Technology is different. We are driven by our vision and our desire to deliver great value to small business owners. Instead of trying to extract as many dollars from you as possible, we price ourselves more reasonably, knowing that our survival is dependent on YOUR long-term survival.
Avallach Technology is a small business too, so we know the difficulties, we understand the pressures, and we are in the same boat as you. This is why we are different, this is why our approach is unique, and this is why we continue to deliver fantastic value to our clients.
