Why Partner with cmsadvantage?
Building a website is a relatively simple thing for many of us, but building a profitable, sustainable web design or graphic design business is much harder. cmsadvantage has been design to help you build a better, stronger more profitable business.
From experience, I know that half of the time you find yourself either struggling with the very technology that you love or doing the boring stuff like updating address details or creating links and forms for your clients websites. The other half od the time you spend either trying to get the sale in the first place or thinking about all the things that the business books say you should be doing to get that next sale(s).
cmsadvantage is the culmination of many, many (too many in fact) hours of my company trying to solve our own problems.
- How do we manage multiple websites on our client behalf simply and easily?
- How do we give clients the control they need to maintain their own website or send out email marketing to their clients without our intervention?
- How do we speed up the slow repetitive tasks associated with building a new website (like setting up hosting accounts, delegating domain names and adding content to pages)?
- How do we simply and easily create forms on our websites without having to resort to unreliable external services or paying for a programmer to get around to it?
If you have the chance to look back on a lot of your past clients (or if you were to do so in 2 years time) you would notice that when it all boils down:
- Most of our clients needs are similar
- It would have been nicer if you had of made more profit from building their website
The business of website design today requires much more then simple static HTML websites with a basic form processor built in. Today's Businesses need password protected pages, they need the ability to update their content themselves, publish RSS Feeds of their latest news or media releases. Todays Businesses need a website that can change as quickly as the business world around them.
Some businesses need E-Commerce faciltities or the ability to stay in touch with their customers or prospective customers. Wouldn't it be great if the one product allowed you to either manage this on behalf of all your clients and at the same time allow your clients to service themselves if they have the inclination.
Your role as a website provider is to be able to provide the full range of services and in a more cost effective way to the businesses you are servicing whist still producing enough profit to feed yourself and your family.
Often to deliver such a varied set of features you would download and install various open source software packages like JOOMLA or OZCOMMERCE, perhaps DRUPAL or WORDPRESS. Having to learn multiple opensource applications does have a cost though (not only to your business but also your customers business). This doesn't even take into account the numerous security patches and software updates that should be applied to the installed software, but almost invariably doesn't happen because the client isn't going to pay for it and why should you give your time away for free.
cmsadvantage has been designed from the ground up to be a multi-website platform that offers you all the tools you need to create great, standards compliant, cost effective websites for your clients whilst minimizing and controlling your costs, and maximizing your profits.
