You know business. You know marketing. You know promotion. And so you build a growing client list for your web development business.<\/p>\n
<\/a>But you know very little about actual website design and coding.<\/p>\n Starting the business is easy for you because that’s what you do, but longevity becomes the risk because you still need to deliver that final product. You spend free moments learning as you go along, but customer attendance takes so much of your time as it is. And contracting out to another development company takes you out of the creative process and reduces you to being just a middleman – relaying messages and requests between your client and the development company.<\/p>\n So you hire designers and programmers who more often than not deliver what you are paying for – but this is business and your clients’ needs require even more than what you’re paying for. Your employees finish at five and are away for the weekend, so you become the storybook business owner – burning the midnight oil and hard at work on Sunday while the family heads out to the planned weekend picnic. You really did want to be there, but…<\/p>\n Starting the business is easy for you because that’s what you do, but longevity becomes the risk because you still need to deliver that final product.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The strategic solution is to subcontract. \u00a0Delegate those programming tasks to a person\u00a0that provides that very service. \u00a0He or she will provide a defined cost going in, and they will also take responsibility for the work they provide. \u00a0There is, however, the size of that defined cost. \u00a0More often than not quotes for website programming start at $500 and increase from there depending on the nature of the project and the person performing the work. \u00a0Also, the responsibility they take is to you – their client. \u00a0Your clients are still your responsibility so you may\u00a0find yourself\u00a0middleman once again.<\/p>\n Fixed overhead and a guarantee for the work performed versus high costs and middleman. \u00a0Strategic, yes, but still with drawbacks. \u00a0What’s needed is a strategic – and effective – solution.<\/p>\n this is business and your clients’ needs require even more than what you’re paying for<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n That\u00a0strategic, effective solution is to “subcontract” through membership in the Nositeunseen network. \u00a0The programmers and designers are active members in every eCommunity – virtually right next door! \u00a0And they are there to assist all members. \u00a0They can be contacted through private message, or posting to the activity wall, or in the support forums. \u00a0And there are other members in the community who willingly assist others with their own experience and skills.<\/p>\n Between that support availability and the easy to use, no-code-required, visual designer you could easily take on the design and development yourself and keep the overhead low.<\/p>\n One year Fully Managed Hosting for $360 includes:<\/p>\n The programmers and designers are active members in every eCommunity – virtually right next door!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n If you prefer to have someone else do the designing the Fully Managed Plus includes everything in Fully Managed – plus\u00a0developer, designer, and content provider services for approximately 17+ hours. \u00a0That breaks down to a bundled price of about $35 per hour, whereas typical industry rates are almost twice that. \u00a0Standard\u00a0website development is\u00a0around 17 hours start to finish, but\u00a0if more time is what you need for your project it is\u00a0available for purchase at our own\u00a0best price assurance.<\/p>\n This is not to say if you have your own designer you have to use Nositeunseen’s Associates. \u00a0Bring your own designer – they are members of the community, too, and support is available to them as well.<\/p>\n That\u00a0strategic, effective solution is to “subcontract” through membership in the Nositeunseen network.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Start that working relationship on the network that “just works”.<\/p>\n Get Hosted<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" You know business.
