Yep we have yet another fun business lesson to share with all of you out there and we are going to start cataloging them in a blog series titled Important Info According to Intertwined! And you can either shake your head and go well I could have told you that (Well why didn’t you!) or you can say ok good to know thanks, or lastly you don’t have to believe us but you will see…
This week we have learned that we overestimated the cost of our website creation and vastly underestimated the time it would take to get it “just right.” The first part is the good news. You do not have to pay thousands of dollars to get a clean, professional, efficient website that tells the world who you are, what you do and how to contact you.
The not-so-good news, however, is figuring out just how you want to tell them who you are, what you do and how to get a hold of you. Man…its tricky. Is this too forceful, too passive, does this flash take too long to load, does this picture portray us as Wedding Planners. OH BOY! Questions, questions, and truthfully it my always be a work in progress. We may never be done updating and tweaking the website. (Another lesson: build the maintenance into your original contract with your web designer so you know all your costs up front…best thing we did!)
But, we need to get out there and let the world know who we are. We need give them access to Intertwined! We will get this blasted website done. Then we will rely on all of you to help us answer all those questions above. Feedback is key!! Yes, we are actually inviting your opinions …the good, bad and ugly! Ok enough blogging for today I have a website to finish.
Dream Big.
