There are many small business website solutions available. Where does Elijohn Web Design fit in and when are we the best solution for you? Here is an overview of your choices and some the advantages.

Hosted Solutions

One method on getting your business presence online is a solution that allows you to build your own site with easy to use onlice tools and pay a monthly fee. The advantage to this method is if you or someone in your company is graphically gifted and can put together and maintain a site, you could have complete control over your website. Some of the problems are: you are still paying for site design, it's just hidden (not allways a good thing), you have limited template designs and you might not be utilizing your in house resources wisely.

In house design

Similar to the Hosted model, in house design uses company resources to create and maintain your website. While this might look like the lowest cost method, you would be exposing your company to hidden cost issues, lower productivity and lack of internal resources during crunch time. Another possible pitfal is departmental politics that might mold your web presence in ways that are not best for your business.

Hire a large firm

A large, well staffed design firm would certainly have the resource and experience to drive your web presence. And where larger companies have larger budgets for this method, many small businesses do not.

The Elijohn solution

Because we work only with small business, we are able to structure our tools, methods and resources for your time, resource and dollar budget. We work in HTML/CSS/jScript exclusively. Open source tools mean lower cost to you. We budget our time and client list to allow us to spend time with clients and on thier projects. We use existing templates to allow you to choose the front end design that meets your needs without building from scratch every time. And finally when the site is built, you own all the code and collatoral. You can choose us to edit and revise, or choose other design resources if you desire. And since everything is open source, tools are free.
