How Being on the Web Can Help Your Business
While there are many proven options for marketing your business,
such as print media, mailers, and television, there is only one
option which can reach millions of people, all around the planet,
24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and is quick and affordable.
With web marketing, your information is always up-to-date, customers
can visit at their convenience, and visitors to your site are already
"hot" leads: They came to your site because they are interested
in your products or services. Potential customers are coming online
in record numbers. As long as you have a quality web site that is
easy to find, the web is one marketing option where even the smallest
company can "run with the big dogs."
Landmarks in Communications
The web is a unique media that draws from print, multimedia, television & radio, but far exceeds these methods. The Internet is not a fad! It is a paradigm shift in how the world gets information. Let's review a few communications landmarks:
1854 - 23 thousand miles of telegraph wire
1879 - 25 thousand telephones worldwide
1949 - 1 million Americans watching TV
1985 - 407 million telephones subscribers worldwide
1991 - 810 million TVs worldwide
1992 - 25 million Fax machines
1993 - 75 million computers in the world
1995 - 30 million Users on the Internet
1996 - 8.5 million U.S. voters (9%) get political information
from on-line sources
1998 - The Web doubles in business every 100 days
2000 - ?????
Home Grown or Professional Design?
If you're like most people who are thinking of getting their
business online, you have two options: You can design, set-up, and
maintain your own site. (For the adventurous, we offer links
to design resources elsewhere on this site.) But do you really
have the graphics, interface design, programming and marketing
skills to do this after you've closed up shop for the day? Few hard
working business people do. Most entrepreneurs who try to use a
word-processor like web page editor soon discover that creating
a web site is less like posting a flyer and more like developing
a full blown computer program.
Because you need more than just a flyer or hand-bill on the web to be successful, Webwrench offers complete turn-key solutions for businesses and organizations, as well as site overhauls (interface, graphics and site layout) and "one-shot" prototyping services. Webwrench recommends dedicated file service providers to offer the best combinations of reliability and flexibility for turn-key solutions.
Why Webwrench?
Webwrench CyberSites grew out of R. Marshall Webber's long experience with the Web. He began doing page and site design in 1995 when the web was in its infancy and now manages and designs large Intranet (internal network) sites for The Boeing Company in Everett, Washington, USA. Using industry standard tools such as HomeSite, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and trueSpace, Mr. Webber follows three principles of design: Low Bandwidth (for quick loading), Intuitive Interfaces (for ease of use, even by web novices), and innovative use of existing standards (thus ensuring maximum audience exposure.) His background in the performing arts ensures a site that is visually appealing as well. Mr. Webber also writes a monthly column on technology which helps keep non-technical computer users up-to-date with the rapidly changing industry.
How Much?
One thing you won't find here is a price schedule. Webwrench
approaches each project as an opportunity for excellence, so constraining
customers to a fixed number of images or pages per project isn't
fair. Each project differs in complexity, and no pricing schedule
could ever cover the variety of needs each business has. However,
an initial consultation is always free, and once a price is agreed
upon for a clearly defined project, that price never changes. Ever.
