You guys have been asking where I’ve been, if I’m really back, etc.
Well I’ve been busy.
I’ve been working for the last 2 months trying to get a new division of my company (B. Woods Design–not new, that’s my company) launched. It’s not a new concept but it is a website in a box thingie…still rough but it should be done by Dec. 10th. It’s basically setting up simple, 5-page websites for anyone who wants them, for $60. They will be templated (all designed by me of course, and look professional) and you can choose the color scheme, choice of typestyle (font), and have extra add-on features to make the site have cool functions like a simple blog, photo gallery, e-commerce product catalog and simple shopping cart.There are 5 packages: Business Edition, Personal, Artist/Photographer, Wedding and Non-Profit. I have been working on the concept and busines model for last 2 mos. and it’s rough but I’m slaving day and night. Just wanted to give you all a heads up on what’s been going on. The way it works is this: You pick the package, add any features, extra options (hosting, your own domain name, addons mentioned above) I set up the site for you within 24 hours and it’s yours. Those who don’t opt for the hosting, and their own domain will have free hosted sits, which will be http://webspacecentral.com/yoursitename
The site is basically static, meaning you can’t change it. But for a measley $10.00/month you can have access to a Site Manager tool where you can log in and change the text on any of the 5 pages, or even add pages. Webspacecentral.com is where the main site will be…and the WebSpace-in-a-box store will be set up by then as well. I did this because it seems custom website design business is super slow lately and I hate marketing myself and being agressive and finding new clients is hard. So the last few weeks I hatched the idea while I was hanging out at the myspace.com forums for Business and it seems like people are always asking for website design work but they never want to spend more than $100 so that is when I came up with it. Its pretty much geared toward that audience…startups, t-shirt companies, DJ’s, Wedding Planners, bands, artists. I will have a way for affiliates to sign up too.
I’m gonna need some help I think…from programmers and web promotion people. I will definitely be hiring affiliates to push the product around through their online circles and they will definitely be rewarded somehow. I have to do the math on that yet.
Same day, different year..
