Web for Small Business is designed for Small Businesses.
We understand the special needs and challenges of small businesses because we are a small business ourselves.
Web for Small Business is a brand of Narcissus Media – a boutique web and media development studio based in sunny Sydney, Australia in the cosmopolitan suburb of Leichhardt (also known as “Little Italy”).
We have seen too many small business owners struggling with how to have an effective presence online on a small business budget. So Web for Small Business services were created to make web development more efficient (and thus more affordable) for small businesses. We streamline the process for our web packages and empower small business owners through easy to understand training.
Don’t pay us to drink coffee
In traditional web design, there is the time taken to create a quote and once the job is commissioned, there is a lot of hand holding through the process of deciding how to implement the website creation. Often there will be several long phonecalls and meetings at coffee shops. That’s nice and all but time costs money and you can rack up several hundreds of dollars of a web designer’s time through just these chats alone.
At Web for Small Business, we have created packages that have all the things you need for a particular task and you choose the one that suits your needs the best. We know how much it will cost, so we tell you up front.
At Web for Small Business, we have created step by step templates that walk you through all the questions we’d ask in person – only you’re not paying for us to be there while you’ll thinking about it. We include email support at no extra cost so we are still there if you need any help or have questions.
At Web for Small Business, we conduct our support through email – this way, any time spent solving your problem is actually spent on solving your problem not spent on transit to a coffee shop or on hold on a telephone. It also allows us to better batch process support tickets and this in turn means the ability to lower our prices.
Don’t pay us to reinvent the wheel
In traditional web design, often the website creation process starts from scratch from the design upwards. While this may make a pretty website, often there isn’t a lot of flexibility for a business owner to change the design later or make updates without the web developer’s assistance. Where a content management system is built so that the business owner is empowered to make changes, content management systems usually add a complexity to the website production that adds up to much larger costs. It is no wonder that the standard price for a very simple custom designed website with a content management system ranges from $200-$3000. A more complex site usually costs even more.
At Web for Small Business, we make use of design templates that we then extensively customise. We have licences for many premium templates that look great and have brilliant functionality that would normally cost in the $1000’s to deliver. We then do advanced customisations to ensure that your website is unique. The time saved by not reinventing the wheel each time we do a project is returned to you in savings.
Get real support
At Web for Small Business, all our packages come with a large number of support days. Unlike many typical design firms, we have a good understanding of marketing and content creation so feel free to ask us what you like – we’ll do our best to help you!
Also as a small business, we hate asking for quotes – especially when we’re not even given a ball park figure to assess whether a product or service is in our budget. So we make sure that all our packages clearly state the costs upfront.
