A Website I Can Set Up For A Biz Owner That They Can Operate??

8 replies
I'd like to be able to offer offline businesses a website but not have to worry about doing things like updating their sales coupons, bio's, product pictures etc...

Does anybody know of a solution for this? So I can set up a nice functional website for them with custom graphics for their biz, but still lets them have complete control over it?

It would have to be stupidly easy so that they can add to it or tweak it as they'd like.

Thanks in advance,

~Russell Prisco =)

    Hi Russell -

    I have been using WordPress.

    And I do spend time teaching the business owner HOW to add pages, posts, etc...

    Hi, Russel,

    you have hit upon one of the most prolific desires online today, there are literally hundreds of solutions, many claim to be so easy even a cave man can do it, yet, there really is no fool proof product or service that provides the depth that small business operators really need in order to be successful online.

    There is sadly no silver bullet,(

    There exists and always will exist a learning curve for most off line business owners, what is needed is the true desire to learn or the cash to pay someone
    to do it for you.

    Even that can be hit or miss, in fact I had a conversation with an offline company just yesterday, the first thing they said to me was they used to have a website, and no one came, the old we built it and they did not come, routine.

    Of course it is always a challenge to get someone to trust you once they have been taken advantage of by some other unscrupulous website sales person.

    There are really a lot of good alternative CMS systems out there many are free some are paid, some are in fact so expensive that you would literally not believe what they charge.

    Anyone willing to spend a few hours learning Wordpress can literally learn to manage just about any aspect of creating a website.

    Failing that, there are many people you can hire to create really cool WP based websites.

    hope this helps.

    Hi Russell,

    I know a lot of business owners without web sites and suspect they are intimidated by the technology and don't want to take the time to learn. I have helped people like that and I think the hot button these days is "done-for-them" marketing. You don't have to do it yourself, you can find someone else to do the busy work and charge them enough to make a profit.

    One of my clients is an older guy - not that I'm young either - but believe it or not, he doesn't know how to go on the Internet or how to send or receive email. I't hard to be critical though when he's made many millions of dollars doing business the old fashioned way (by phone)! If I want him to see a web site, I email his wife and she prints it out for him....

    You might be surprised how much people are willing to pay if you do it all for them.

    Good Luck!

    Russell...

    I know this isn't going to be directly responsive to
    your question but my advice is this... busy business
    owners have neither the time nor the desire to manage
    a website themselves in a manner that will actually
    bring them more business.

    They would rather pay you more to do it for them than
    pay you less to teach them to do it themselves.

      I'd vote for either Wordpress or XSitePro bundled as part of the "deal".
