Contractor's IT Support
Less than half of Perth’s Building Contractors have websites and many of those that do, they are not visible to the customers who require their services. Stealth and marketing don’t mix.
Websites are there for providing a service to your existing customers and clients yet to come. They don’t have to be flashy affairs with a load of male models prancing about in hard hats and hi-viz gear posing for a professional photographer or stock pictures. (heaven forbid) They can be just pictures taken on your old Nokia phone and at least that way they will come across as honest and isn’t that what your customers want.
If a client picks the quality of the pictures on your website, imagine the same client at the PCI and handover?
If you think it is too early to have a web presence consider at least having a respectable email address, gmail and hotmail don’t look good to a lending institution or a Home Indemnity Insurer. They want someone who is going to be around for a few years not just testing the water. Your potential clients will also feel the same way.
Who would you feel most comfortable with?
Joe [email protected] or [email protected] Homes.com.au
We can set this up with 3 email addresses at your place installed on 6 devices Desktop, Tablet, Laptop or Mobile Phone for $200 with your own domain ready for when you’re ready to face to General Public.
Do you need a website?
Imagine all the potential clients who would engage your services if only they knew you exist. You probably google products and services yourself. What if your competitors can be found? Then of course there are the trades and suppliers who need to get in touch and expect you to be on the net. If your going somewhere you are not familiar with, before driving off you probably put the address in your phone in case you need directions. Your customers do the same.
Gone are the days of phone books and UBD’s.
Being invisible is not a good look to a potential client before a contract signing and being open and transparent instils a lot of confidence.
Also, if your trades and suppliers cannot find you it can lead to a lot of unnecessary phone queries when the information could be at their fingertips. We live in An Era of Technology and expectation.
Remember when people said they don’t need a computer or a mobile phone? They can’t all be retired.
It reminds me of the story of the 2 guys camping in the woods. When they open their tent the next morning outside is a ferocious grizzly bear so one of them rushes back in to put on his sneakers.
His mate says what are you doing, you can’t outrun a bear? His mate replies I don’t have to, I only have to outrun you.
If your competitors can outrun you,
where will that leave you?
Websites are there for providing a service to your existing customers and clients yet to come.

If a client picks the quality of the pictures on your website, imagine the same client at the PCI and handover?
Remember when there was no internet, computers or mobile phones?
The Good Old Days!
If you have to use a stock photo at least use something interesting!
