Please give us a short summary of your website?
This website is for the company Veribatim Web Design & Consultation LLC. It lists the company information, services, examples of design work as well as a blog.
What inspired you to launch your own website?
As a web design company, our website is our best example of our work. But besides the fact that is necessary, it was enjoyable to put all of my knowledge and experience to work in this site.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
This was the first commercial website I launched. And the first website I got to work as a team to create. We launched Veribatim in the fall of 2007.
How did you decide on a name for your website?
Veribatim is derived from the word "verbatim" because we want to want companies to feel like their websites are a perfect translation of their business from real life to the internet. "Veri" is the Latin root for "truth" because we wanted the business to have high moral standards. And "ver" for "green" is where our tag line comes from: Growing your e-business. We do all our SEO organically, and we really wanted the website to have that kind of feel.
What makes your website different from other, similar offerings?
We tried to make the website clean, professional and business first, the same way we direct our clients. One of the companies strong points is that we offer consultation along with our services and I think our blog really highlights that.
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)
For now, we plan on keeping the site and continuing to grow it. We have other ideas on the horizon but I think they will just expand from this site. We hope to make Veribatim a recognizable name within the web design industry and create a standard of excellence.
How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Since we are small, we are still putting more in than we are getting back, but on the other hand, our growth has been fairly rapid and we are enjoying every minute of it.
If you had an unlimited development budget for development, how would you change your site?
I don't think there would be many changes to the website itself but we would add more designers and programmers to our team.
If your site got really big, really quickly, would you be able to keep up with the demand?
Right now? Maybe not, but we expect this to happen soon and their are already plans about what we would do.
What unexpected costs and headaches have you had to deal with?
Customers trying to take advantage of our good will.
What has been your biggest challenge?
The learning curve. We had to learn to quickly adapt and move with the constantly moving internet world.
What method has been most successful for promoting your website?
Networking both on and offline.
How has running your website differed from your expectations?
Mostly what we expected. It has been both challenging and exciting.
How long have you run the site already, and how long will you continue to keep it up if you don't enjoy big gains in traffic, income or popularity?
We have run it since we went into business last year.
What part of your website would you highlight?
I think the team blog shares a lot of information. We try to deal with real questions and concern our customers would have, or anyone who has interest in the business side of the internet.
