I'm a small business owner too. It really doesn't make sense to buy a long term asset in one big payment at the beginning. I don't buy my car like that. I don't buy my software like that. I don't even buy my computers or my phone like that.
Why on earth should you pay for a website in full before it even starts to work for you. Many people say that your website is like an employee that works 24/7, never goes off sick and never takes a holiday. If that's true then would you say to a new employee you're going to work for me for at least five years so I'm going to pay you five years salary before you've even started work. You just wouldn't do that would you?
Your website should be a bit like a very loyal employee. It gets better and better with age, training and experience. It's always work in progress. It's never "finished". So, why should you pay for all that experience before you've even had the benefit from it?
When you order your new website from Websites+Plus you're not buying a one off asset which will deteriorate over time and then need replacing at even more expensive. You're buying a service to build, maintain and improve your website month after month because that's how you pay us. You're Websites+Plus website will keep getting better and better because we'll be working on it every month and helping you to improve and add content. You'll enjoy the experience.
Remember, a conventional web design business has no "skin in the game". Once you've paid them and they've delivered the project they have no real financial incentive to keep making it better for you. They've had all your money and now they're working on another new website for someone else.
Websites+Plus can only make a living if your website works well for you and keeps getting better and better. Your only committed to pay us for the first 12 months, after that, it's a rolling contract. If we don't live up to our promise you can take your website elsewhere. When you order a new website from Websites+Plus you're not just buying a product you're starting a valuable, mutaully beneficial long term relationship.
It's a partnership in the truest sense of the word.
