I usually make the comparison of a web site to an automobile, simply because the long term investment is ALWAYS better than getting the quick fix. This one works just as well, though. :) Okay, I love that analogy!

It seems crazy to me, but so many companies completely undervalue their website, probably because it has always been under-delivering. @Dan - Building value, that is the job isn't it? With websites, it's hard to get people to compare the right apples to apples. I lose projects to far more oranges than apples, if you know what I mean. @Janet – Great statement in the power of your site being you, to do so many things for you.

I think this same idea can be extended across many industries. Part of our business is financial management (bookkeeping), and I'll often get the comment that XYZ will keep the books for $(A lot) less. To that I say...whom would you rather be entering/reviewing/analyzing your finances -- A secure company with experienced master's level professionals that can make business recommendations, or someone with a computer that took an online bookkeeping course? Funny part is...as I'm sure is the case with you too...some businesses don't see the increased value (upfront). And that my friend the marketing struggle of us non-McCompanies! Very good point.

I am ecstatic that I have decided to make the investment to get a site that truly reflects who I am, what my biz is, and the type of client I want to attract. I am learning there are so many different ways my site can work for me simply because it is unique to me. McWebsites? I think not: the name says it all. Harmony, Janet What a great post! I am ecstatic that I have decided to make the investment to get a site that truly reflects who I am, what my biz is, and the type of client I want to attract.

McWebsites? I think not: the name says it all.
