Evaluate your current website
Online marketing has changed a LOT in the last few years. If you have a website that worked then, it might not be working well now.
Why isn't your website working well?
More people now access the Internet from mobile devices than from computers.
It's all about mobile these days

Mobile-friendliness affects search results
In April 2015, Google announced that if it did not find a website to be mobile-friendly, they would no longer promote it in search rankings.
How can you tell if your website is mobile-friendly?
Website fashions change
Sad but true. The website layout and design trends that were popular a few years ago are no longer popular now.
Keep in mind that many of the following features are popular now because they look better on mobile devices.
- Lots of images
- Big print
- Simple or no sidebars
- More information on fewer pages (it's easier to scroll than click on a small device)
- Create a customer journey through your site for each customer "persona."
- Focus on what you want your site to do. Get the visitor to contact you. Come to your store. Sign up as a subscriber to improve your list of leads.
There are new tools now
Website development and maintenance used to be hard. You might prefer to maintain your website yourself, but with your current site you don't have the required technical skills.
At Simple Storefronts we scoured the planet to find great tools that are easy to use. We'll develop your site, and if you want we'll show you how to maintain it yourself. You can edit pages and set up new ones by using templates and dragging and dropping elements onto the page. Or we'll maintain it for you for a small fee.
We also chose tools that let your site change and grow. Need to add some new features? Easy. Need to change the style or layout? Don't need to start from scratch. Need to move your site somewhere else? No problem.
And finally, we chose tools that work for you behind the scenes. Security. Daily backups. Metrics. We keep disasters from happening and monitor the health of your site.
The bad news
In most cases, in order to make a site mobile-friendly and build in these other features, we'll need to rebuild your site from the ground up. We might keep some of the content, but mostly likely the structure, style, and especially the tools under the hood will change.
We might be able to save you some money after we see your site and find out what you need, but in the worst case you will get our regular website design package and hosting. The good part is that in most cases the maintenance of your site will become a lot more efficient.
100% Money Back Guarantee
We guarantee you will be satisfied with your website or service. If not, we will do what it takes to make it right, and failing that, we will refund your money. It's that simple.
