Here’s the Truth About Why Your Website Isn’t Bringing in More Business

“You Can’t Handle the Truth” – Jack Nicholson in A Few Good Men

A few months ago I was bored and mad at some of my web design customers.

That’s all changed . . .

I’m jazzed. I’m excited now.

So what happened?

I was working on this website. Updating it.

Making it work on phones, tablets and desktops.

I’m updating the look too.

But I’m pissed.

The words on this customer’s website made me cringe.

I said to myself, “Do they really believe this will make someone call them or contact them?”

Uuugggghhh

I ignore the terrible text. They aren’t paying me to fix the words.

They like the words. They’re proud of them.

I’m just getting the work done. Just doing what they’re paying me to do. Then I’m moving on to the next project.

No need to stir things up. Get the work done.

In one way I was right.

But I was also very, very wrong …

My mind kept telling me, “They don’t know how much money they’re wasting by ignoring the words.”

Oh well. I’ll just do what they want. Get paid. Move on to the next project.

But I felt like crap working that way.

I didn’t realize I was the problem. Not my customer.

I “assumed” my customer wouldn’t see the “truth” about their website.

So I didn’t tell them what really needed fixing. I “assumed” they couldn’t afford it.

I was like Jack Nicholson telling Tom Cruise: “You can’t handle the truth!”

And I was miserable. I wasn’t giving my customer enough credit.

Shame on me….

Now it’s time to share “the truth.”

My eyes are open.

I’ve written the first chapter of a book on how to build successful websites. And I’m sharing it with you before anyone else.

I want you to know the truth about your website.

In this book I’m sharing secrets I’ve learned from building websites professionally since 1999.

I want you to have great success marketing your business online in the months and years ahead.

My old website tool was limited, and this one is very powerful. Editing my site has so much more in the way of tools for SEO and readability.

I was pleasantly surprised how easy it is to build your own website. Doug gave me specific instructions and I can now build my own website that looks a lot like the ones I paid BIG bucks for.

Without a second thought I highly recommend Doug as an instructor. First hand, he’s taught me SO much and he really knows his stuff. In fact, I work with him and refer my clients to him because he actually KNOWS what he’s doing. He explains things in a way that anyone can understand, and he is patient.

Working with Doug has been refreshing!

You are awesome!
