Why do I need a website?

To Establish an Internet Presence

     Whether you are a business looking to expand, or interested in creating your own personal web space, there are many advantages to making your presence on the Internet. The average Internet surfer may stumble across your website while looking for a certain product, or may find a website expressing your personal beliefs, opinions, and goals while searching for the meaning of life. Maybe you're looking to set up meeting place/community for your family or clients, or want to post photos on the internet available to friends and family with a single click.

My Company provides me with a Site!

     Things are always changing, and Company and Employment are no exception. If you spend a few months or even a few years with a company that for one reason or another lets you go or you leave then all the time spend establishing your self on line will continue to be profit for the company. If you had your own page along with the company page  the transition to another company or location could be seamless. With the right set up you don't even have to consider different email address when moving.

Your competition has a website.

     Chances are, a similar company is selling similar products or services, and have already established a website. Even if you do not intend to sell your products on the Internet, potential customers may still be directed to your website, where you have information about your product and information on purchase.
It's something to put on your business card.
     
When someone hands you a business card, do you immediately pick up the phone and call them, or send a letter to the address on the card? Potential customers are more likely to visit your website and learn about your services in the comfort of their own home than listen to a sales pitch over the telephone. Plus, a website on your business card lets customers know that you keeping up with today's Internet world, and confident enough in your business to have an Internet presence.

Always-open business

     Unlike your office building, your website is open 24 /7! If customers have questions about your products, they may be able to find the answers online. You can refer current customers to your website for support or answers to their inquiries. Potential customers not ready to commit may feel re-assured after reviewing your company and products online.

Expand your customer base

     When you establish a presence on the Internet, your customer base becomes global! Whatever your trade, business is sure to expand when you put your company online. Partnership and cross-linking with other websites will increase site traffic, and lead to increased customers and sales. Having a website is a great way to gain customers and increase sales by selling your product online.

email@yourdomain.com

      Everybody wants an easy-to-remember e-mail addresses. Aside from the convenience of having friends or customers contact you by name, an e-mail address at yourdomain.com will sound professional and look more professional on a resume or business card. Godaddy.com service plans include multiple e-mail accounts, so everyone in your business or family can have their own customized e-mail address. 

24/7 Advertising, 365+ days per year

     While you are busy working in other areas of your business, Internet browsers are finding your website and reading about your services and products!

Instead of going on and on about why you should hire me, 
I would like you to see for yourself? Examples

This is a full site property lay out with several different display styles to give you just a few ideas.
    The application of virtual tour technology is terrific for marketing real estate, highlighting recreation and travel destinations, supplying education and training, touring exhibitions and trade shows, featuring entertainment venues, recording sporting events, displaying retail stores, showing industrial applications, touring corporate headquarters, manufacturing facilities and more.

     A virtual tour provides enhanced visual information and the type of "interactive eye candy" that can keep your audience coming back for more.  Virtual tours provide web site "stickiness" by engaging your visitors to interact with the virtual tours and other dynamic content on your site. It’s a great way to differentiate yourself from competitors, highlight your products or services and show your audience that you are on the leading edge of technology. It's easy for you to get a virtual tour, just place an order and leave it to me to provide a full-service solution for acquiring, processing, hosting, displaying and distributing your virtual tours.

     *All virtual tours are available only within a 50 mile radius of the Lake Ozark, Missouri area.

Did you know that properties with virtual tours are viewed nearly 50% more then those without? Plus, buyers are about 70% more likely to buy a house with photos in the listing. We give you both at one flat rate. 

     If you want your listing or property to get noticed, our High Definition Virtual Tour will do it. You are giving you and your client a significant competitive advantage if you have a HD Virtual Tour from me. Especially in this market, it is a small price to pay to get the sale, rental, or attention you need.

Examples
A photo album that can be used as a visual tour for real-estate or personal web page.
         You need your High Definition Virtual Tour up and running FAST?   I often can get it done within 48 hours...weather permitting or complexity of the project..
Examples
One of many layouts that can be created for your own personal style Visual Tour.

     For you PRICE SHOPPERS:  I know what my competition is charging.  I am not the lowest priced nor am I the highest priced.  However I am  the BEST VALUE.   You get the best quality and the most features at the best price with me.  I don't offer you a tour
at $75 only to tack on a $20/month hosting fee or a $50 fee to post your tour to Realtor.com.  I can also upload your tour to VT should you have that program in place.

I would like a chance to win your business long term.  Give me a try.
