Your Affordable Website Manager
In the last ten years in this business, b9Web provided service to a variety of for-profit and not-for-profit organizations with one thing in common–none of them were large enough to afford a full-time or even a part-time webmaster.
The current salary range for webmasters is from $54.7K to $77.5K a year according to salary.com.
So most small business and charity operations opt for ad hoc service for a website after it’s built, but even that can be more expensive than the b9Web alternative. For one percent of the salary of a webmaster making $70K a year your business or nonprofit can retain a webmaster available at any time. That means no worries about your website once it’s built. No need to fret over where to find someone to change images or text, to write or edit copy, to manage domain name renewal, to take care of web server issues, email issues, design issues, website hosting, search engine optimization, search engine submission, site metrics, to write HTML, CSS, JavaScript, PHP, and to explain what all that means in plain English.
In fact, at b9Web, we’re convinced the day of the do-it-yourself website for businesses and serious nonprofits is over. More than once, we’ve received a call from someone with an ugly template website that needs help.
And the Internet is changing constantly in size, in means of access, in technology. You just don’t have time to run your business or nonprofit and keep up with all the changes. b9Web does. Consulting is part of our business name. For instance, a bogus SEO company contacted one of our clients and guaranteed first page placement on Google for a single search term. The client called b9Web before making a decision and saved a bundle of money. SEO scams are the weeds of the Internet that will choke off honest growth in visits to your website.
PC World reported this month (January 2010) that more “than 131 billion searches were made by people age 15 or older in December 2009, marking a 46 percent increase from 2008, according to a report from Web analytics firm Comscore. That breaks down into 4 billion searches per day, 175 million per hour, and 29 million per minute.”
Wait. There’s more: “The U.S. represents the largest individual search market globally, accounting for 22.7 billion searches or nearly 17 percent of all global searches.”
For just $700 a year your business can have a full time webmaster and consultant. For just $600 a year, your nonprofit organization can reap the same benefit.
As we say, the future is now. Be ready.
