• Q: How are we different?

  KEY DIFFERENCE #1: SEO: We have spent years pre-optimizing the code to be search engine friendly. If your code is not optimized for the search engines, you have failed before you even start. Many of the other web design offerings do not mention this. They will charge you extra down the road to make your website search engine friendly.
  
  KEY DIFFERENCE #2: CALL TO ACTION: Most web solutions in our price range do not offer 'direct response' & 'call to action' design. A direct response website is one which gets your visitor to take action. Direct Response modules make it both effortless and interesting for your visitors to get in touch with you.
  
  KEY DIFFERENCE #3: AFFORDABILITY: According to our research, the functionality we have built into the Smart Choice Sites would cost between $10,000-$20,000 with our competitors, and this is without free web hosting, and free email, and free 24/7 support. The Smart Choice CMS has a full backend for editing pages.  This is an important cost saving feature for you. Most web design companies do not include this feature, so that they can charge you for every change you request. This is a huge value in itself! The backend also enables you to manage your entire client database, view emails sent to them and store information about them. We're listening. We're taking notes. We're thinking. We're working for you.
