Dear Online Entrepreneur, Deb Augur, MyWebGal.com, here. Web design and development are my areas of expertise and I'm loving today's online world. Did you know that the Internet has now produced 20% of the millionaires in the United States! What further evidence do you need to prove that business on the Internet is fantastic! FACT: 78% of businesses with an online presence report their business is healthier — has a competitive advantage or stronger economic footing — because they have a Web site. 76% say their Web site generates leads for their business. The strongest indicator of how businesses have taken to the Internet is the fact that they are making money online. Of the 32% of the respondents who sell products or services online, 82% reported receiving monthly revenue from their Web sites. (Source: eMarketer.com) FACTS: - There are 1.8 Billion Internet users worldwide! (InternetWorldStats.com 2009.) - Technorati Inc says there are over 50 Million blogs (and counting). - Netcraft reports that as of this month the Internet currently hosts over 109.5 Million websites. - And a recent University of Iowa study calculated the size of the web at over 29.5 billion pages! Having worked online since 1996, I've not only watched the Internet grow, I've been a part of its growth. I wouldn't want to go back to the offline work world at any price. I love working online and helping people build their Internet presence and business. There is nothing more satisfying in my career than helping others to succeed. I started online in 1996 teaching Netscape Navigator, and how to build personal web sites. I still teach several online classes. My students heighten my awareness as to what web site visitors look for, what they want, need, and what makes them respond. This gives me a tremendous advantage when it comes to website design and development. If you want a results oriented web site with presentation and communication that motivates the immediate response of either obtaining a sale or a name and email address for your all-important database, you've come to the right place. I specialize in reaching the right audience with the right message. That's what brings success to any web site. Are you convinced that you can achieve success online? You should be! Small businesses who use the Internet have grown 46% faster than those that do not. (American City Business Journals) And most importantly, as I already reported above, the Internet has now produced 20% of the millionaires in the United States!
With so many web services clamoring for your attention - from software programs and developers, pay-per-click search engines to hosting and design companies and the infamous Internet gurus - it's easy to fall victim. It's quite a ruff 'n tumble world in here. But you have to learn as much as possible and hang tough to get in there among the "big guys." My number one piece of advice is to get your business online, treat it like a real business, and hang in there... persistence will pay off!
Let me assure you, the intimidation factor of starting or building a business online is more formidable than the reality. Avail yourself of my knowledge and experience in any of these ways:
Complete Website Package: I will write you a proposal and estimate for website design and development dependent upon the information you provide and completely build (or rebuild) your site. Help You Build: This is only if you know how to do some of the work yourself but need a bit of direction or someone to answer your questions. Template Package: I will design and create templates without copy and you can add your own content and make as many duplications of the template as you need at no extra cost. Coaching: I will consult with you on website development whether you do it yourself or have someone else create it. My tutorials and resources for a do-it-yourself website are located here.
My Highly Recommended Services: For extremely affordable domain names and hosting, go where I go to get mine, www.BetterWebBusiness.com. $8.99 for a dot com domain name, and as little as $3.99 per month for hosting. It doesn't get much better than that! For your shopping cart or autoresponder service, I use and recommend 1 Shopping Cart.
My Experience: Successful website development requires knowledge and skills in many areas. I have been working online since 1996 and have an additional 12 years experience and higher education in marketing and design offline. I am reliable, dependable, and a professional that produces quality work. Beyond that, I understand marketing and direct sales. I was Director of Advertising for Tom Kovarik, CEO, Nevco (see his reference below) prior to designing on the web.
Anyone can accomplish web site design to some degree or another. I go beyond visual appeal to provide optimized pages and graphics with attention to detail and value centered content. Your website will showcase your offer in its best light.
Websites require the ability to load fast, be professional, fulfill the "What's In It For Me" expectation, and include the necessary elements of an opt-in program and a Call to Action. Direct response websites must focus on its target audience, create the intended mood from the start, and result in accomplishing at least one of two things: obtain a sale or collect a name and email address so you can keep in touch.
Ebooks and ecovers are some of my favorite creations! From editing to writing to design, I've contributed to many ebooks. Audio and video are also available!
Consultations regarding my web design and development services are FREE! I hope to
have the chance to connect with you regarding your project. Please email me at

Augur
