Beyond Your Brand offers a paid monthly website service, unlike other agencies and web designers. There are no upfront costs. This is known as “Website as a service”. You might consider a monthly payment model if your website is not performing well. Here are some key benefits. There are no upfront fees
Whatever model you prefer, a site should be considered an investment. Your website is your window to the outside world. The pay-per-month model is an alternative to the standard model. This would see a web designer or agency quote an upfront price for designing and building your site. Paying monthly can allow you to free up cashflow, which is especially helpful for young businesses just getting started. All of this can be bundled into a monthly fee similar to a mobile phone plan where you get calls, texts, data and the phone. This will allow you to plan easily and remain within your budget.
2. Service ongoing
The key advantage of a monthly payment plan is that you get ongoing support. Many companies fall prey to the trap of paying upfront for their website, then having to negotiate a fee for support when they have a problem with their site or need to update it. It is in your best interests to offer support and advice throughout the year. It places the responsibility on the service and not on the ‘product.
3. Continued support
Support is an essential part of any web hosting. What happens if the web-site is down? What protection can you get from hackers on the internet? How secure is your website? What would the distance be to restore an old version your site? These are all important considerations. If you decide to invest in a monthly website, it is important that ongoing support is included in the agreement. A web hosting company that provides excellent support will not only provide you with their expertise but also give you peace-of-mind.
4. Increased visibility & rankings
One common error that businesses make is to spend a lot on a new website and expect it will perform well from day one. Web-designers often only care about the design and appearance of websites they create. After the site is built, it is not possible to incentivize them to reach more people. Although ongoing Search Engine Optimisation is a long-term investment that can improve online visibility, there are some key elements to be aware of when building a new site. How is your site organized? How do you make it easy to navigate to the pages users want? How can Google and other search engines learn what pages you have so they can match their pages to the searches people are doing?
A key component of improving your ranking is to update your website with new content. This includes blogs, case studies, testimonials, videos, case studies, and case studies. You should look for agencies that offer pay monthly websites. This will give you an easy method to update your website, or even better, an agency that will do it automatically.
5. Stay current with the latest trends and design
It is a smart idea for your website to be current, vibrant, and in-style. Like a high street fashion shop that changes their window regularly to attract customers, your website must also be up-to-date with the latest trends in order to keep them coming back. You should make sure you have the ability to update your website as often as you like if you sign up for a monthly payment service provider.
6. Allow yourself to spend more time on your business
You can never have everything done when you run a business. There are always things you could do. This is the main reason websites are neglected. Websites don’t always make the top of the priority lists. Some website service providers offer a monthly fee that allows you to maintain your website. Instead of having to learn how to code or manage content management systems yourself, your provider may offer to take care of it as part the package. This will help you save valuable time and allow you to concentrate on the important aspects of your business.
