Going Beyond “I Want a Website for My Business” with Kronda Adair

Why is it so freaking hard to get a good website for your small business? In this episode, we’ll cover all the bases from why all-in-one tools aren’t necessarily the best, to why hiring a developer that’s skilled at using the latest tools, can be a bad idea for your business.

I’m sharing my insider tips on the podcast that will help you avoid expense mistakes when it comes to getting your website built for your small business. It’s time to move beyond simply saying, “I want a website for my business,” and instead start making CEO decisions to invest in technology that will drive results.

Here’s the harsh reality, most web designers and developers are not marketers. And sadly, more often than not, I hear about entrepreneurs working with designers that give them great looking websites that don't convert because there's no strategy behind them.

I’ve seen these costly mistakes time and time again and want to give you my insights into how you can invest wisely in whole solutions that solve the right problems at the stage of business you are in. It’s not enough to say, “I want a website for my business.” That's how you end up with half-built websites and blowing thousands of dollars on costly mistakes by working with the wrong service providers. This episode gets to the core of what the podcast is all about. It’s time to Begin As You Mean To Go On.
