The Most Pleasing Thing About Building Websites Is? (February 06 2008)
There are multiple reasons why we build websites. My two favorite are the looks of amazement that our client gives us after we show them the finished product and the emails/conversations we have down the road.
On a recent (Friday Feb 1st to Sunday Feb 3rd) road trip to Halifax, NS a client was astonished with the return their website had brought them. Within a few days of launching their site, the website paid for itself! The site was an instant hit and now, every time I see this client, the owner is informing me of a new big multi-thousand dollar sale that they just received through their website! While some may not view this as much, for this particular client it was more then they expected. They used to receive 3-4 sales per year on their site before we built them their new website, now they are receiving more sales in a week then they had in a entire year! Due to the increased growth in web sales, they are going to be expanding their production to keep up!
After returning from Halifax, another local client ended up sending myself an email reporting their website had paid for itself as well! While their site was launched about two weeks ago, they were majorly excited with the increase in sales in their business.
While these messages from our clients are becoming more frequent, I always enjoy listening to the success that our development team is bringing our clients.
Hearing about the major success of their site is the second best reason for developing websites! (Of course, the first is seeing the happiness we bring our clients after showing them their completed website for the first time.)
