If you need a website
Most businesses and non-profit organizations in the community need a great web presence that enables them to reach their success goals.
Go here to find out how Community Growth Web can help you create a website.
Small businesses may need to expand their reach past the local community to be able to meet their profit expectations.
Non-profit organizations want their influence to reach all members of the community and sometimes into a larger community.
Non-profit organizations usually want to spend as much of the money they have on the causes they are working for and don't have a big budget for building a website.
We can all help these non-profits. Read below for a way to help.
Professional Newsletters (like Constant Contact)
Sending out a professional newsletter using Email Marketing can help your business in many ways:
- The bar has been raised by email campaigns from other professional organizations. People expect to see interesting, professional-looking newsletters.
- Email marketing enables you to avoid the spam filters that your regular email provider uses. You can send out thousands of emails at once.
- There is a greater likelihood that your clients/customers will read your newsletter when you have an attractive, professional look. You can also maintain branding by having your newsletter colors match your website.
- You can have links in your newsletter to your Social Media outlets.
- Email newsletters are easy for others to forward and then they can also join your mailing list.
- Newsletter reports enable you to learn who opens, clicks and forwards your emails and what email addresses don't work.

Free first hour
It's important to find a web designer that understands what you are trying to do. I offer the first hour that we meet at no charge with the following goals in mind:
1. I can find out exactly what you are trying to do. I come to this process focused on satisfying the goals that you are trying to achieve. Based on those goals, I can customize a few approaches for you within your budget.
2. As you ask questions I can help clarify the options available that I understand based on what you are trying to do.
3. We both get a chance to determine if we think we would be a good team working on the project.

Top Reasons Small Business Owners Choose
Community Growth Web
Get the Site You Want
At Community Growth Web, my priority is on listening and understanding what you want before I start. I then validate with you my understanding using prototyping tools.
My attention to your project is complete and very thorough. I take into consideration your business and goals and build on your ideas. I apply creativity and technical know-how to help you accomplish your goals.
It's like having your own web design staff working for you. See completed and current projects.

Socially Conscious Businesses Can Help Non-Profits
As a business, just build a website with me and you will create credits that can be used to reduce the cost of a non-profit organization that needs website work. My normal rates are $50/hour.
If you spend $1000 building a website that takes me 20 hours to build, that buys 20 credits that can be used toward a non-profit organization building a comparable site.
That is, I will build a 20-hour website for only $600 for a non-profit organization. That's at a rate of $30/hour.
You can even specify the non-profit organization you want to support!
