Find a Web Site Mechanic You Can Trust

It occured to me that the way people feel about their cars is the same way they feel about their websites.

It is such a sweet feeling you take for granted – turning the key in your car’s ignition, having it start smoothly, take you from point A to point B with no problems, and when you turn the ignition off you know that tomorrow it will run smoothly again.

Then one day you’re driving along and the ‘service engine soon’ light comes on, along with some strange noise or weird performance. It is then that the nightmare begins. You have to trust someone with something you do not understand. You have to take their word for it that they know what they are doing, can fix your car and keep it running.

Then you get the bill and it uses terms you don’t understand, the price of parts seems outrageous and look what they charge per hour! You cannot help but feel if you just knew more you might have saved money.

It occurred to me this is the way a lot of people feel about websites. They know they need one. They love it when they first get it and when it is working properly, but they have no idea what goes on “under the hood”. When it is time for regular maintenance or some repairs they get the sick, gut wrenching “how-much-is-this-going-to-cost-me-and-why?” feeling they get at an unknown mechanic shop.

That is why it is important to ask questions of your Web solution provider – the more you understand, the more you trust them, the easier it will be to keep your (online) baby on the information super-highway.

Domain name registration, IP addresses, URL, hosting, HTML, Flash, FTP, content management system – the lingo of the Internet can be confusing and daunting. But finding someone you can trust to keep your website up to date and running smoothly will put your mind at ease and allow you to focus on what you do best – running your business.

If your “baby” needs some work “under the hood”, give me a call at 1-877-477-6118 or 306-586-6118. I’ll make sure you get the parts you need and the service you deserve at a price that’s fair.
