How It Works
You're probably wondering how the Sensible Sites platform works, and how it's possible to build a professional and effective web site with a budget of only $450.
Our strategy relies on two things:
1. You must be willing to commit to the project with your time and your knowledge. Ultimately we need to sell your business to your online visitors, and to do that we need to understand why customers should choose you! You need to be ready to answer our questions in a timely fashion and provide text and images where appropriate.
2. You must be happy to use the same fundamental layout as this site. For your own site, we will change the colours and fonts, and integrate pictures and logos that bring the site into line with your branding, but we wont be starting the design from scratch. We don't see this as a limitation because we know that the Sensible Sites platform is incredibly effective for the price point and that it satisfies all of the design criteria for a good site. We also know that it's the content that is going to make or break your site.
If you're still with us so far, read on.
We use the following 5 step system to get you online.
Step 1: We ask you for full payment up front. $450 for a web site is extremely good value, and we need to know that you're serious about getting online. We also need to cover our time, and any costs (i.e. domain name registration, web hosting fees, etc).
Step 2: We email you our marketing survey. The marketing survey asks you quite a few simple questions, like who you are, what your business name is, etc, and also asks some more probing questions about what makes your business different from your competitors and a good buying proposition for your customers.
Step 3: We develop a strategy from your answers. The strategy will deal with Google Search (and how the text content will target Google), and it also deals with the people that will be coming to your website and how we can best sell your products or services to them.
Step 4: We combine your survey answers, the developed strategy, and your design preferences (colours, fonts, images and logo), and enter them into the Sensible Sites platform. Your web site will then be ready, and we will email you with a link to your site, and a link to an administration console where you can login and edit the website anytime you like.
Step 5: We make sure that you're happy with the result, and tweak the site as necessary.
