With the provision of a local ‘Control Panel’,
on your computer ready to adjust the slightest of
web site changes, additions or corrections; Web Designers
or even traditional Graphic Designers can use, web
hosting company, M6.net’s newest creation to
bring in extra income; to reverse that loss of EASY
dollars.
What is it that website clients really want from
their web designers?
After the creation of a client’s website, the
web designer usually goes away hoping that the client
will not destroy his design, believing they will;
after he has pointed the client to FrontPage or Dreamweaver
to maintain it. Web site clients do not really want
to maintain or update their websites, most businesses
have not got the time to ‘play’ around,
they just want the site finished and updated from
time to time.
This is exactly what happens with traditional Graphic
Designers; clients want to know that from time to
time they can come back and update, or change totally,
the content without the general design changing; quickly,
and for a regular price, not a one off higher price
as they were charged for the original job.
As a graphic or web designer, you will be in the
position to offer your clients web hosting. They trust
your decisions and love your work, but they don’t
really want to start something with you, then have
to deal with someone independent to run their website,
or update it or change it in anyway, after you have
finished and left them. If you could host them under
your own web hosting account (with a multiple website
hosting account) and control yours and their websites
all from the same control panel on your own account,
you would be offering yet another regular client service.
You can charge them for web hosting, which they will
have had to do anyway, but for a better price and
more resources than their previous web host; and you
can earn more by doing ‘web’ bread and butter
work, as you have been doing for years as a Designer.
This bread and butter work, as most Designers know,
is a very substantial part of a studio’s income,
and with the use of the control panel, can be approached
as just another design ‘service’ provided
to your regular clients.
Just think, Graphic Design campaigns; and Graphic
Design bread and butter work; Web design website campaigns;
and, website bread and butter work; four incomes from
services and a ‘side plate’ of web hosting
fees.
As a Graphic or Web Designer, there is no more fear
of the client destroying your ‘master’ creation;
loss of that easy-money in updates and corrections
to the ‘junior’ in the clients office; but
the plus is the relaxation knowing that this is just
an extension to the service you have been providing
for years.
Leave the support to the web host; get your clients
to pay for your account; and sit back knowing you’ve
got more brainless updates, and corrections for YOUR
office junior, ensuring that nice and steady flow
of web bread and butter income.
The control panel will be coming out next week, WITH
A FREE ONLINE MANUAL, approximately 21st November
2001; if you wish to be informed of the release, just
email us at sales@m6.net and ask for Clayton, who
will provide you with ANY info you require.
This is the next level for Graphic and Web Designers,
ensuring your designs will last; that they wont be
destroyed by the client; guaranteeing that your online
Port Folio remains a ‘killer’ and not killed;
and finally providing you with the right to earn on
those site changes.
