Simple Website Service

| September 21, 2023

At Simple Website Service we focus on small and micro business owners who require simple, but professionally designed websites. Subsequently, this focus allows us to tailor our service, and our business, specifically to serve this niche. Therefore we are able to offer a website and maintenance plan, at a better price and better quality for that niche, than anyone else.

Who is the Simple Website Service perfect customer and why is Simple Website Service perfect for them?

All of our customers’ websites require “low” maintenance. However, “low” maintenance does not mean “zero” maintenance. In fact, most web developers position themselves as either high-end, boutique firms (i.e., high cost and high-level of support capability) or project-based firms (low cost, zero support capability). Neither of these approaches are a good fit for most small business customers. At Simple Website Service, we are able to keep our monthly costs low for each customer. This is because of our focus on serving many customers with the same website support requirements.

The Simple Website Service Recipe for Success

The main ingredients in our successful service recipe is our size (100+ small business customers) and our focus. Consequently, these two factors enable us to decrease our per customer cost. In fact, on any given day, most of our customers do not need us. However, when any of them require support, we are there for them.

Additional costs to consider for your website

Add-Ons and Plugins

Plug ins are pieces of technology that you may need to customize your block building website. For example you may need a booking system that your platform does not provide. In that case, you need to purchase a plug in.

Hiring a Webmaster

A webmaster or content manager can help you to maintain your website. The cost depends if you want to hire an individual full-time, part-time or on a contractual basis. Therefore, it could involve a couple of hours per month, or for a full-time position it could be upwards of $6,500 per month.

Search Engine Optimization (SEO)

In order for your website to be found through search engines like Google or Bing, you may need to hire a search engine optimization (SEO) specialist. This may cost anywhere between $500 to $6,000 per month. It depends on how much work you need them to do on content and web pages. The bigger your website, the more an SEO expert will cost.

This individual will assist in recommending content and what keywords you want to rank for. If you’re using WordPress to host your content, its sites generally rank better on Google.

Another benefit is they identify errors like a 404 code (“Page Not Found”). This is not good for a user’s experience and thus can harm your SEO rankings if not properly addressed.

Images and Design

The visual elements of your website are important. Another cost to consider is artwork. This can add up quickly. You can include free options or stock images, remember they must be Royalty-free images, and they are cheaper than having a photoshoot. A royalty-free image can range from free to $100, while a product photoshoot might cost between $25 and $500 an hour for a photographer to capture unique images for your website.
