Thursday April 24, 2008 | Meeting Schedule | | | | How we survived a professional website redesign |
Ever considered having your website designed by a professional? Are you afraid it might cost too much, or be a lot of work? Come hear the tell-all story of one consulting firm's voyage through these perilous waters.
In the world of consulting today, your website is a key marketing tool. Lots of us can put together a site. After all, we are engineers. But unfortunately many of our sites look like they were put together by an engineer. Worse yet, they don't bring in work. A good site is better than the phone book, better than a snail-mail flyer, better than cold calling! Better, that is, if it gets noticed, presents the right information, and makes prospects call you. To do all that, it takes a pro.
Beginning in the spring of 2007, Banker Coté set out to redesign a dated and unmaintainable website. The new site went live at the end of the summer and the first job came in soon after. Topics to be covered include:
- The decision to hire a pro
- Finding and choosing a designer
- Going to contract
- Step by step through the design process
- Expectations vs. reality
- The aftermath
