ROI Was Measured In Weeks
First Website for a Car Hood Repair Company
I had known Gary a while and he confessed he had registered the domain name many years before we spoke, with the intention of building a website. Of course after a long day at work the last thing anyone wants to do is sit down and learn how to build a website and then do it.
Gary had a selection of pictures and was able to supply a logo (If you have not got a logo – we can sort that) – To honest your own pictures are the best for your website. Most phones these days are good enough. Just take the pictures on the highest resolution.
All Gary had to do was tell me about his business and I did the rest and the site was launched.
Photos
Of course you can have portrait photos but please take a landscape one at the same time.
Landscape photos work best on websites. i.e the photo is much wider than it is deep. This does not mean you need a picture of some idyllic countryside. This also applies to video.
Why are your own photos the best? – If someone asks you about a photo, you will be straight in to talking about the job, and how you overcame the problems.
Many Years On The Website Has Been Very Successful Delivering A Lot Of Customers
Whereas directory advertising only reaches the area the directory is distributed in The Hood Guys have been delighted to receive work from over a 100-mile radius of Birmingham – this has enabled people who would never have found them using traditional directories to locate the business, engage in a dialogue and get their car hoods repaired.
Most websites ARE NOT as search engine friendly as they could be especially the ones which promise that you too will have built a great looking website in 5-minutes. I cannot build a website in 5-minutes and I have been doing this 20-years!
The website benefits from a simple easy to complete form which enables people to contact the business out of hours. – Many people are surfing the internet long after most businesses have gone home for tea.
Conclusion
The website paid for itself in a very short period of time.
It has enabled the business to reach a wider audience – meaning a more regular workflow.
Getting the website up and running was remarkably easy working with Website-Doctor and Gary did not require any technical knowledge to generate excellent results.
Could you and your business benefit from: –
More prospects – reach a wider audience?
Better profitability through a more sustained better mix of work?
If you do not have a sensible website and your competitors do – they will be growing whilst you are not…can you afford to take that chance?

QR Codes
QR Codes can be a great way of taking people to your service or message when printed. A QR Code can take people to a specific page on the website useful if you have a complex message or special offer.
If you are of an age where you remember writing details in to an address book the above QR is close to magic. In this instance scanning the QR Code puts my contact details into your smartphone.
This video answers the question. “How to scan a QR Code if you are reading this on your phone?”
Another huge benefit of QR Codes is accuracy.
