Of course, but it may not be easy. Taking over the development of a system that was built by a different developer has a wide range of possibilities and complexities in terms of the work that is needed. If the system is a really simple, our experienced professionals will have no problem taking over the management of it and making improvements to it. However, if the system has advanced or complex functionality or if it’s not working correctly in some way, there are no short cuts we can take to fix those problems. If you’re willing to give us the keys to your system, we’ll take a look and work with you to make a plan for how we might be able to help.

\r\nIf you are paying salespeople to explain a process or product over and over again, it is likely that you would want to consider making a video about that product or service for your site. If you have something that you can sell online, it seems reasonable to be sure that your customers can buy it online. Automating any of your processes such as taking credit applications, service requests, etc., can be done rather easily online and you will want to consider those options.

\r\nHowever, sometimes it makes sense just to keep your site simple and let your site act as supporting documentation for the product or service you offer. We pride ourselves on helping clients plan great sites that will be scalable for future growth. Each project is unique, so contact us today for a free consultation on what we’d recommend for you.
The sky is really the limit as more and more people are using the internet every day and getting more accustomed to e-commerce and social media networks. To turn internet users into actual leads requires two primary things:
\r\n
\r\nSite traffic – getting more internet users to your sitecan be done through word of mouth, social networking, advertising, and many other ways. The number of internet users that you can reach is directly related to how much time, effort and/or money you want to use to go get those users on your site.
\r\n
\r\nConversion – more important than getting users to your site is converting those users to leads which you can take action on. Action usually requires some sort of contact information from your site visitor and internet users are usually not excited about giving up that information. During our Planning & Design process, we work with you to make sure your new website leverages the best ways to convert a site visitor into an actual lead given the nature of your business and customer audience. Investments in this arena usually pay off at a much higher return than investments that are made just to increase traffic.
\r\n
\r\nIf you have a bunch of people who visit or your site and don’t give you their contact information, your site is will barely earn new leads for you. Very often, a successful conversion occurs when you prove to the user that you are a reputable provider of the service or product they’re looking for, and that you are trustworthy and easy to work with. We recommend clients aim for only as many leads as you can handle per month. If you can handle twice as many as you are getting now, contact us to discuss how we can make that happen!
