This particular page is written by the founder of Appnet. Like you, I am a business owner. When it comes time for me to choose a provider of services, most often I don't have a lot of time and I attempt to choose a company that will give me "the most bang for my buck." In many types of business, this approach will prove successful. However, the internet web design business has proven to be one like no other. Consider this for a moment.
 

I'll bet you know someone you consider to be a "computer guru," someone who "knows everything about this stuff". I'll bet that person can design you a website and may even do it for free. Heck, my own eleven year old daughter can design a web page and my 72 year old father operates a huge 100+ page website of his own. This stuff isn't rocket science. In fact, just about every school-aged child is now getting some education on how to create PowerPoint and HTML web pages. That is part of the problem.
 

The market is flooded with people who "know how" to build a web page, but who have no idea of what makes for a successful website. There are many people who know how to use PhotoShop, Illustrator or DreamWeaver, but they lack the artistic and business acumen to make your website productive.
 

I'll never forget when ten years ago we made our first contact with a business about building their website and subsequently our first website. The lady I spoke with told me, "I have spoken with a couple of people who told me that they could build me a website so that when people did a search for 'widgets' my website would come up."

Obviously it doesn't work that way. The computer industry is flooded with people possessing the know-how but not the knowledge. Another alarming story related to me described a business owner who had no clue about computers. He was taken advantage of by an unscrupulous "computer expert" who routinely charged him $200 to keep his computer running in tip top shape. I happened to be talking with this gentleman a few months into this "valuable service" and came to find out that all the tech was doing was deleting his temporary internet files. That's something that you can do for yourself in five minutes!

In our ten years of building websites we have heard it all; however, an all too familiar story is one in which business owners mistakenly allowed a friend or novice to build their website, only to find out that the website just didn't "go anywhere". There are many people who will build your website at half what others may charge. However, ask yourself this question:

Am I willing to pay "X dollars" for a website that simply never gets the traffic and production that I want? Or should I be looking for companies with proven results, and possibly pay a slightly higher rate, to provide me with a website that literally pays for itself within a couple of months?

I can give you examples of people who paid $500 to three different "designers" and never got any productivity out of their websites. Their last website cost them $800 and now they are selling their wares successfully on the internet. They wasted $1500 before spending only $300 more with the right company. 

I can also relate numerous examples of people who paid other firms considerably more than we would have charged them and their websites still did not work for them.
