I wanted to take a second with this blog and tell you about the newest website package I have to offer. The Chevtek Economy Site (I know, real clever name. Haha) is hopefully going to be the solution to yours and my problems. The Economy Site is a smaller version of the sites I build for each of my clients. Any elements of the larger sites I've built that can be shrunken down and easily duplicated are in this package. The idea is that I build this site once and am then able to sell it over and over again because it's not specifically customized for any one person. You as the client are responsible for customizing the appearance of the Economy Site through the user friendly system that is built right into it.
This site obviously won't be as extravagant as most of the sites in my portfolio, but it will be much better than most other "template" sites. If you've ever used a template site before then you are probably familiar with how difficult the can actually be to customize. They give you so many options that it can be quite confusing to learn how to use it all. The Economy Site is simplified so that there is almost no way to make the site look bad. It comes pre-installed with several themes/layouts to choose from. I will add more themes and more tools as time goes on. After that it only lets you change a few minor things like background, banner style, etc within the theme you choose. This makes it really easy to customize and almost impossible to make your visitors' eyes bleed! lol. That way I can stand behind all sites with the "Powered by Chevtek" logo at the bottom; I won't have to be worried that a client may have customized it poorly, which could reflect poorly on myself when potential new customers visit that person's site.
The one thing you do have total and complete control over is the content of the site. You can add pages and edit them with ease. The idea for Economy Site spawned out of the need to come up with a service I could provide that people could afford. Until now I've only taken on higher end clients and really poured my creativity into making sites that really stand out. I am absolutely still willing to take on those projects, but I know times are tough. I know that people are looking for websites for their businesses and I hate to see them opt for the cheap sites and get cheap results. I need to sell some sites to keep the bills paid so I came up with this idea that will hopefully be a win for everyone!
As always, whether you hire me to build your site or someone else, I wish you great success! May your website bring you the business you deserve. Have a great week everyone!
