This website is a giant leap,
and it needs to deliver results
Meet Becky *, the go-getter product design entrepreneur from Bristol. She’s on fire, with sales booming and her team growing.
Now, she’s got her sights set on a killer website that truly captures the essence of her brand and showcases its incredible capabilities. But here’s the thing, Becky is feeling a tad nervous.
She knows this website is a giant leap, and it needs to deliver results. She wants to ensure her investment is secure, and she needs a team to scale the site as her business skyrockets. Naturally, she starts thinking about the big, established web design agencies with impressive portfolios and all-in-one teams.
Sounds like the way to go, right?
You want to charge how much?!
However, there’s a problem. The agency Becky’s eyeing drops a bombshell – they quote her a whopping £35k for the website. Yikes!
That’s no small change; it means putting some other projects on the back burner. She takes a deep breath and starts exploring other options. Lo and behold, she finds another agency that quotes her £28k , and she decides to give them a shot.
The first meeting goes great, and she clicks with the agency boss. Excitement builds as she eagerly anticipates seeing the first design concepts. But here comes the plot twist – at the presentation meeting, the boss is a no-show, and Becky’s left with a junior team member. Things quickly go downhill from there. The presentation feels generic, like they had copy-pasted it from a template. It’s as if they didn’t even bother to understand her business or customers. Talk about underwhelming and downright confusing!
A lesson in following your gut
MY BUSINESS COACH HIRED THEM TO DESIGN A NEW WEBSITE FOR HER PRACTICE AND CAN’T STOP RAVING ABOUT THEM
Thank goodness for good friends, right?
Becky spills the beans about her website woes to her friend Katie who immediately drops some wisdom bombs. “If it doesn’t feel right, it probably isn’t,” she says, telling Becky about a small team she knows called Anorak Cat.
“My business coach hired them to design a new website for her practice and can’t stop raving about them. They handled everything for her — photos, copy, brand strategy, design, development, ongoing website care, and an annual review to keep everything in shape. That’s great for you because you won’t have to rely on your IT guy anymore — remember, you said WordPress wasn’t his forte! And they were the nicest team to work with, not some soulless machine like the other agency. Oh, and I’m pretty sure they were much more affordable. It makes you wonder what your agency is charging you for, doesn’t it?”.
Becky feels encouraged by this information but still has a crucial concern.
“My clients are high-end, and I can’t afford my website to look anything less than professional. Are you sure they can handle all of that?”
“That’s the beauty of it,” her friend replies. “My coach said she had an entire team dedicated to her project — Rich and Amy, the dynamic duo who own the business, led the charge, backed by a branding specialist, a photographer, an SEO expert, and skilled copywriters. Sure, they didn’t share the same office space, but their collaboration game was on point. They all came together in person at the project’s start, ensuring they were on the same page. Information flowed seamlessly between them, so Becky never had to repeat herself. Plus, she wanted some unique illustrations and knew someone who could provide them. Amy simply brought them into the team, briefed them, and managed their work to alleviate all the pressure. I guess that’s why they call it the Dream Team package!”.
