Are you looking to hire a professional web designer?
Maybe you’re wanting to create your own space online with a website and you need some guidance to get there. Would you like someone knowledgeable in web design as well as digital marketing to have your back?
Did you start your business so you can do work you’re passionate about and serve people who light you up?
If this resonates with you, JoLi Design Solutions may be the right fit. We’ve helped several wellness coaches and consultants with our web design, hosting, maintenance and business growth services.
BUT, our services might NOT be the right fit for you. We know that might surprise you, after all, shouldn’t we be selling our service to anyone and everyone? Not so much… Here’s why.
Having worked with a variety of clients has helped us refine who inspires us, who lights us up and who makes us uncomfortable and on edge. There’s someone out there for everyone, and I’m not talking about a romantic partner, I’m talking about web design companies.
We don’t feel comfortable trying to get anyone to work with us, because the truth is, we’re not 100% right for everyone. This has taken a while to learn with the bumps and bruises to prove it – so now we are owning it.
Our services can only be successful if we work with the right people with the right mindset and this is why I’ve decided to write this article. I’ll preface by saying, if any of these ARE you, more power to ya. It’s all good. Like I said, there is someone for everyone and hey, if you don’t care for coffee, I won’t hold that against you!
Why You Should Not Hire Us For Your Website Design & Maintenance Needs
1 – You aren’t open to new ideas
When you work with us, the main focus is on you and your business – your website strategy, marketing, your soul’s purpose in doing what you do and tapping into your own unique value. If you are not open to new ideas, the journey will not be fun for you (or us) – and it should be. You also won’t see the results you desire and that’s a big bummer.
I have been around a block or two when it comes to digital marketing, website strategy and enjoy being able to share ideas and work WITH you. I’m not a fan of the “this is the way you need to do it” way of thinking. Ideas are great, but if they are not a great fit for you, then we abandon and try again.
The main point here is that if you are not even open to new ideas, we are not the company for you to hire.
2 – You aren’t ready to invest in your business growth
I’ll admit, we aren’t the cheapest web design company out there, but we also are not the most expensive. It’s all relative anyway, right? What you see as expensive, someone else will see as valuable and be ready to invest.
We do our best to work with your budget, for example, start out with a basic website then build as you go with more functionality and features, but we don’t devalue our work as a way to convince you to hire us.
If you aren’t ready to take the leap and trust that we have your back, it’s going to be a bumpy ride and neither one of us will be happy and passionate on this journey. We want you to be ready. We want you to be excited!
3 – You don’t have time to do what you need to do
Web design, marketing, strategy – this takes time and if you aren’t willing to invest the time WITH us to do your part, it’s just not going to work. Our process is such that you are guided every step of the way and our expectation is that you hold up your end of the bargain.
Even though your website design takes place anywhere from a few days to a couple weeks, your investment of time and energy is on-going. Your website doesn’t magically bring new clients or customers to you. It’s your responsibility to market your business.
4 – You expect us to “say yes to everything”
Our passion is working with purpose-driven service businesses. We advise on the best design for them to generate momentum with traffic and conversions.
We will tell you if we think something won’t work or could be done better. We advise on website copy, digital strategy and email marketing. If we didn’t, we’d feel we were doing a disservice to our clients.
For some people, this just isn’t going to work. They have a clear idea in mind of what they want and they need someone to build it for them. That’s no problem – we’re just not the right fit. See also, reason #1
