Time To Get Serious About Your Site
First of all, I'd like to thank all those that have supported the Writer Webs philosophy and business model. My goal is to help launch and promote your career, whatever type of author you may be. Published or not.
Being involved with so many different types of writers, I recognized that there was a serious lack of quality and options for author web sites. That proved to be the case as Writer Webs is becoming very successful.
With that initial success, I'm about to redefine Writer Webs a bit to offer an even more attractive benefit to authors.
A New Server
Working in web design for over a decade, I have come to understand that you often get what you pay for. I see a lot of author sites hosted on cheap servers that lead to slow response, downtime, and security problems.
When you hire Writer Webs to develop your site, I don't want you to have to worry about any of those problems. I want your server to be the best possible. There's no point in having a Ferrari if it doesn't run.
So I'm in the final stages of securing a new server in one of the most stable and fast data centers in America. I plan to maintain the hosting fees at $14.95 per month for your site, but on this new server you will notice the quick response, large amount of options (real-time site statistics, webmail, etc.) as well as the security of your site. You can rest assured that Writer Webs will make sure your site is taken care of, so you can focus on your writing.
A New Pricing Structure
As I mentioned in the previous post, I'm working on revising the Writer Webs pricing structure. This does not mean an increase in price, it means flexibility in paying for what you want.
The intial plan was to create packages of different levels. However, I quickly became aware that since I'm developing these sites custom tailored to you - and not just using cheap templates or other gimmicks, that it's not easy to fit Authors into packages.
I will soon be switching to a quotation price module so we find a price for exactly what you need. So far, the sites I've designed have ranged from $200 to $1800. If you would like more options, they are available! If you don't need those extra options, then you shouldn't have to pay for them.
I will also be lowering my hourly rate for updates and assistance. Which brings us to...
A Better Relationship
When I work with an author, my goal is to design a site that you can count on. A site that will help promote your career and show the world your voice and style. Writer Webs is not looking to just pocket the payment and move on to the next.
Working with Writer Webs, I'm here to help you. If you have a question or concern, just send me a note. You will never be charged for advice or assistance without knowing that up front. If your issue requires billable time, I will inform you in advance and all details will be explained before I begin that work.
My goal with Writer Webs is not just to have the best quality design and servers, but also to have the best customer satisfaction and experience. I'm a firm believer that the better your career does, the better Writer Webs will do, and I stand behind that.
I know that the testimonials and continued support of authors who have worked with Writer Webs will always remain the strongest marketing that Writer Webs will ever have.
