This is the very reasons magazines exist, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.clearimaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/holidaylightingca.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-102\" title=\"holidaylightingca\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clearimaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/holidaylightingca-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>commercials and any other form of advertisement. What people are slowly recognizing is that people are relying less and less on commercials and traditional advertisement and are heading straight towards the internet. Those that capitalize on this will be able to take advantage of the market and expand their business if they are willing to make the internet work for them. At Clear Imaging, we love what we do because we believe that we provide a fantastic service and product that in turn generates revenue for individuals and their businesses.<\/p>\n<p>But it having a website costs a lot of money\u2026<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s true; websites traditionally do cost a lot of money. Most website developers ask for a very large retainer upfront before the work has even started \u2013 this retainer is often upwards of $5,000. At Clear Imaging, we do business a little different. We want to allow every size business the opportunity to have a presence on the internet. In contrast to having a large fee upfront, we have a minimal monthly fee. This allows us to customize your website to your specifications, make changes or add new content. We feel that this is a better fit overall because our clients benefit from our ongoing service.<\/p>\n<p>I don\u2019t have time for a website\u2026<\/p>\n<p>If you don\u2019t have time to put into a website, then that is fantastic! That means that your business is rapidly expanding and you probably\u00a0couldn&#8217;t\u00a0handle any additional business<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clearimaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/thewebsitealchemist.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-103\" title=\"thewebsitealchemist\" src=\"http:\/\/www.clearimaging.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/thewebsitealchemist-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> that resulted from having a webpage. This is a common reason why people don\u2019t invest in a website, and it is not invalid. With as fast moving as today\u2019s society is, it is really difficult to carve out time for new projects. As always with any new project, it will require more time up front, but if you can dedicate 1-2 hours per week to growing your web presence, you will soon have a website that people envy.<\/p>\n<p>I am not creative enough to design a website\u2026<\/p>\n<p>You don\u2019t have to be. We have a fantastic team of designers who are incredibly creative and innovative. We will show you hundreds of layouts for your website. Then, one of our associates will meet with you on the phone to discuss what types of color schemes and what you would prefer the overall layout to be. Our clients can have as much or as little involvement in the design process as they would like.<\/p>\n<p>If you are thinking that you need to do something to increase your marketing reach this next year and do not have a web presence \u2013 give us a call. If you do have a website, then we encourage you to review some of our past blogs for tips on improving your current website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Since the beginning, businesses have had to find ways of getting their name out to the public and advertising their&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[30],"tags":[28,36,7,22,34,10,8,25,6],"class_list":["post-101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-websites-for-businesses","tag-affordable-websites","tag-branding","tag-clear-imaging","tag-content-and-seo","tag-do-i-need-a-website","tag-how-to-design-a-website","tag-website-design","tag-website-ideas","tag-website-marketing"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=101"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1106,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions\/1106"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog.clearimaging.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
