You Probably Don't Need a Web Designer
Ah, web design. The service that started it all. This is an "anti-sales funnel" - we actually measure the count of non-conversions as the metric for success.
MJWebs is a very good fit for most organisations who are trying to either build a new website or rebuild their existing one.
We have spent the last 4 years building websites for almost 100 companies spanning accross 10 different industry sectors.
If you're an entreprenour or a small business owner low on cash and trying to launch your next big idea, you need to get a website up fast with as much agility as possible. You should not hire web designer (there are exceptions to this, read on)
- You know exactly what your product is and why customers love it
- You have very clear objectives and criteria for success
- You are collaborative, or have a team who loves to collaborate
If you think this might apply to you, we strongly suggest you check out our new business hub or consider using on eof the following platforms:
Squarespace
Shopify
Wix
Webflow
If you choose one of the above platforms, you won't go wrong. Here's some things we've learned about websites:
Customers don't care about your web design.
If you're trying to sell a product or service, you need to sell with your words. All of your marketing budget (including your own time) must go into your product and your brand messaging.
