Hello members! I am looking into getting my website up and running. I met with a great and reputable web design/marketing company A few weeks ago. They represent a lot of very successful companies in my locale. They presented their proposal to me this past Friday. Considering my product and my story they would like to do a five page website along with Internet commerce or in other words, a buy it now button, or several buy it now buttons, videos, photos, product reviews, etc. They can build the five page website so all five pages are on one single page that you can scroll from top to bottom to get to each individual page if desired. Even though currently I am only selling one product, They want to build a five page website because my product line will be growing in the future and they will not have to rebuild it at that time. it will take them approximately two months to get it up and running and I’m sure it will look very professional however it is not a custom website, they are using templates that they built and are semicustomizable. it will also work on mobile devices. The cost is $2500. Half upfront and half upon completion. I need to get back with them this week to let them know if I want to move forward with them or not. My big question for all of you is: “do you feel, considering my product and my story, that a website along with a Buy it now button or two on the website is a good way to go? Or should I just putmy product on Amazon and not have a website at all? Or should I do both?” I look forward to your advice and response. Thanks! Steve
