I Was a Small Business Owner Just Like You
I'm a website designer and software developer by training, but I "moonlighted" for over 10 years as the owner of an online lingerie store. Like most small business owners, I, at one time or another, wore almost every hat in my business (including customer service rep, merchandiser, order packer, bookkeeper/accountant, and of course, web designer).
What does this mean to you?
It means I have a unique combination of experience that allows me to first understand your business and then suggest or build the right online solution to increase your bottom line.
I'm the Advisor You Wish You Had
Big companies have a dedicated IT department that they turn to for technology solutions. As a small business owner, you can't afford such a luxury -- you're "IT".
You probably have the sense that you're not making the most of what the internet offers, but you don't have time to learn all that stuff on your own -- you're busy running a business!
Perhaps you've contacted a web design firm in the past, but they were primarily interested in selling you a web site for thousands of dollars, or maybe they gave you the cold shoulder because you weren't large enough.
What you really wish you had was a next-door neighbor who was an internet expert. Someone you could holler at over the backyard fence and ask, "Hey, Doug! Do you think I should get a web site for my business?"
I'm the geeky next-door neighbor you wish you had! Instead of yelling over the fence, though, all you have to do is pick up the phone or send me a quick email.
My Commitment to You
When I ran my online lingerie store, there was one principle that guided everything I did. I treated my customers the same way I wished I was treated when I shopped online. To this day, I'm still frustrated by online businesses that don't respond promptly to emails, impose Draconian return policies as if every customer is a potential problem, and/or fail to make their stores user-friendly!
In a similar fashion, if you hire me, I will behave like the advisor I wish I had when I was running my online business:
- I will answer your email inquiries promptly.
- I will listen to your needs and suggest solutions that most efficiently meet those needs.
- I will treat you as if you were my only client.
- No business or project is too small. Whether your budget is $50 or $5000, I can help.
- I will not "sell" you a solution that's right for me, but isn't right for you.
