Web Design & Development and Hosting For Small Business
You have a business to run, but you keep getting stuck in the website management maze. Wouldn’t it be nice to get everything your website needs in one place?
There is no doubt that you know, having a website means there is ongoing work to do; plugins, subscriptions, hosting, security issues, errors, and uptime. I could go on and on and on. I didn’t even add all of the issues with design and development!
You can do it yourself. In fact, many people and businesses do. However, many times what happens is…. it just doesn’t get done. Your website’s performance tweaks don’t get done, plugins don’t get updated, and content doesn’t display correctly. Worse, your site might get hacked due to terrible hosting, or out-of-date software. When, and I do mean WHEN something goes wrong it becomes a huge pain and takes tons of time because the site owner is on their own when they do it theirself.
Also, there is a plethora of plugins needed for your website to be an asset to your business not just a digital work of art. With all of these plugins, there runs the risk they don’t all play nicely together. Then you end up holding it all together with bailing wire and duct tape!
I realize with the multitude of plugins, the ongoing maintenance, and occasional errors or issues that business owners can easily get drawn away from their business maintaining and fixing their website, or their website just gets neglected… I am sure you have seen plenty of websites you can clearly tell haven’t seen an update in 10 years!
I wanted to provide something that solved these issues for business owners.
As a Concierge Hosting client
Smith Sites (Me) will not only maintain your website but design and develop it too! I will be your webmaster, designer, and website consultant. When you need something done, you just have to ask we do web design & development for you. Plus, you don’t even need to ask for everything. I’ll keep the back-end stuff running like a kitten. I’ll do the tweaks, I’ll make sure everything is smooth.
You get the following benefits

Your website will get the security it needs. Daily malware scans and immediate fixes if needed. A firewall to shield your server from hackers/boots and other bad actors. All the threats will be blocked or corrected in a rapid manner.

Privacy Friendly Analytics
Google Analytics isn’t really free! They spy on your customer’s data, on your data, and on your site for their own purposes. As a client of Smith Sites, we will set up a privacy-first analytics solution with a simple dashboard.
Peace Of Mind
Hosting with Smith Sites, you have peace of mind. You know that your site is working and will continue to work. You also know that you can change your designer at any time without hiring a designer, just to change a border.
But Why!…

Communication
You and I will have an easy time communicating. I try to be straight to the point while being friendly. I have been all over and I am sure we will get along great!
Less Hassle
You will not be alone in figuring everything out. If you have any questions, I’m here- just ask. You can focus on your business and life, not your website.
Less Confusion
I try to keep everything as simple as possible! Let me deal with the complicated stuff and make it simple for you! Not that you can’t deal with it, but why should you?

Trust
I treat your website like I treated my own. I only do what is in the best interest of you and your site. If you or I think you are better served elsewhere, I’ll help the transition. I don’t want to hold you hostage!
But How Much Is This?
I appreciate the budget and cost-saving-minded people out there… I’m one of you! There are two or three very different options and they all vary in cost.
Highering a full-time designer or developer… Well, that will cost you! A senior designer is over $100k USD a year… A Year!!! And do you have enough work to keep that designer or developer busy for a full year?
$100k a year, well that is probably out of the question, and if it’s not then any solution I can offer with Smith Sites is probably not for you. Next would be a dedicated design service such as Design Joy that comes in at a whopping $4,995 a month.
