Why should you have a website?

 

First of all, the Internet and the World Wide Web are NOT passing fancies… NOT something that just popped on the scene and will be gone tomorrow, next year or even ten years from now.

The WEB is the biggest breakthrough for imparting information since the printing press. Because of that we are on the precipice of the next business revolution that will affect the way you and your family will live, work, play, and make purchases from now on.

The Web gives you the ability to disseminate information
on an international basis INSTANTLY.

You can creatively adapt and change with marketplace trends, stay on the cutting edge of marketing your product or allowing your information to be accessed to anyone with Web access anywhere in the world, any time of day or night.

Current projections say that in less than four years there will be over
250 million people on the web and in less than eight years they will be over One Billion. Mega-mergers of telephone, cable, and internet giants are setting the stage for the Web to be in every home in the world.

COSTS

Jacobs Web Design is not your "Website for $100" company, so don't even read further if that's what you're looking for. 

Our websites are individually custom designed. We pride ourselves in communicating the essence of your company through our website design.  

Our web development team offers the following expertise:

  • Extensive interview with client to fully understand what is needed and wanted, and what is being communicated in the website.

  • Domain name registration and administration

  • Detailed knowledge of HTML programming for your basic website needs

  • Comprehensive knowledge of graphics programs to customize a graphic look for your website

  • Animation programs to make your sites come to life

  • Site promotion, and submission to search engines.

  • Additional specialized custom programming to satisfy any of your needs.

Our sites begin at $2500 and go up from there depending upon your needs and desires. 

To give you a little comparison on the value of a custom marketing program that a Jacobs Web Design site creates, below is a sample of what it costs to get your product advertised in a more traditional way.

Have you ever checked into doing a full page color ad in a national print magazine?  For a main stream magazine like Car and Driver for instance the cost for just a one page color ad is over $30,000, and that’s for just ONE MONTH!


Let that sink in a moment…..

  $30K+ for one page ... and that's for only one month!  How much of your product would you have to sell in order to recoup that $30K? In addition, you have to have your ad to the magazine at least one month before you want it to run, so it will be at least two months without any income from that $30K+ outlay.  

With a Website, you can test what works in a matter of days… and all for a pittance compared to print advertising.

According to knowledgeable sources, Forrester Research, for example... the number of households shopping online will double in 1998 alone.  Junipiter Communications sees e-commerce revenues leaping from $2.6 billion in 1997 to $37.5 billion in 2002!  Do you want to lose out on that potential income?

BUYING PUBLIC

If you take a look at the profile of the demographics of the typical Web user, it is an ideal public to market a product to.

Most of the users are educated, can afford a computer, so that shows they have disposable income and money to buy what you’re selling.

Most have credit cards and are savvy in the use of them on the net… and being Web surfers, they are generally impatient and that leads to them being impulse buyers.

Pretty much an ideal profile for your customers, right?

SUMMARY

Now you know why you should have a website… now why would you want Jacobs Web Design create your website?

First let me say that you can create your own website, and if you’re not willing to invest the appropriate funds to have us create a top notch, custom designed website for you, we really encourage you to pick up one of the "do-it-yourself" website programs and go for it.

To be candid, we don’t have time to negotiate with those who don’t recognize the value of having a custom designed website created just for you.

As we stated above, our websites are individually custom designed. We pride ourselves in communicating the essence of your company through our website design. 

After you’ve taken a look at some of the sites that we have created and you see how they stand out from the rest of the "template" sites out there and communicate the professionalism that your company deserves, we're sure you’ll agree that, what we have to offer is more than worth the fee.

So, have fun looking at the rest of our site, or if you would like us to contact you right away, simply fill out "contact us for a quote" form, or  email us with that request
