What's in a Name?
The name 'Backwoods Compatible' may sound vaguely familiar. It wasn't chosen lightly. The name is a playful riff on a term often used in the computer and consumer electronics industries: "backwards compatible." The term refers to something that is new and improved while at the same time being compatible with that which has come before.
For example, high definition Blu-ray Disc players represent the next generation of home movie and television viewing, but they're also "backwards compatible" with DVD. This means you can reap the benefits offered by Blu-ray, while taking comfort in the fact that your tried and true DVD collection will continue to work.
The same is true for your website.
What Can a Website Do For Me?
If you're in business you've undoubtedly developed a way of doing things. You have a business model that makes sense to you - and hopefully to your customers as well. Presumably you've experimented and had mixed results with traditional marketing and advertising methods. You've discovered what works and what doesn't. A website doesn't have to change the way you do business nor does it have to replace your traditional marketing practices. But it can certainly improve upon them. How exactly your website does that is in part up to you.
The question we're asked most often is: what can a website do for my business? The answer is simple: as much or as little as you want it to. A website can be as simple as a 1-page electronic business card, as complex as an e-commerce store front with thousands of product pages, or anything in-between. The question you should be asking is this: What do I want my website to do for me? Once you know that, Backwoods Compatible can help make it happen.
Would you like to attract more of certain types of customers? Are you attempting to gain visibility in new markets or different geographic areas? Do you wish you could spend less time on the phone and had more time to focus on the tasks at hand? An effectively-designed website can accomplish all of these goals and more.
Everything is Possible
The fact of the matter is, the world is now online. Whether you're a small town politician running for office, a pizza shop owner, a general contractor or a doggie daycare provider - like it or not, your clientele expects you to have a website.
Of course, putting your shingle out on the web is only half the battle. For your website to do any good and provide a sound return on your investment, people need to be able to find your website. Backwoods Compatible can tackle both of those challenges.
The prospect of getting your business or organization online may seem daunting, but that's why we're here. You know your business and we know the web. Together, everything is possible.
