We'd love to sit down with you and talk over a cup of coffee. We'd like to learn how your business works and understand more about your business goals. We bring over 60 years of project management and development experience to the table. We'd love to brainstorm with you about how a Frugal website can help with your business goals. Please give us a call - 503.873.4867 or 503.874.4014.
Why should you have a website?
Your website will improve your bottom line
The biggest reason is a website will improve your bottom line. It will broaden your customer base, and make it easier to communicate with your customers. It will also empower them to purchase your product. A sign will reach the people outside your store. An advertisement in the paper or phone book will only reach as far as it's circulation. But a website will reach across the world even into international markets. Anyone with web access becomes a potential customer learning about your goods and services. Then, it's about enabling those customers to buy your product easier.
Your website is the best employee you'll ever hire
Your website is the best "employee" that you'll ever hire. The web works 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days of the year; it never gets tired or asks for a day off. It works making sales even while you are sleeping. It can serve thousands of customers at the same time, and never misses a sale because it's on the phone. This "employee" makes sales to customers you've never even met. This employee is cheaper than a sales staff, in fact it will produce the greatest amount sales for the least amount of investment you'll ever spend. You will never sell anything as easily as you do over the internet.
Your website provides another approach to your customers
A website is about providing another angle of approach to your customer. The website meets your customers on their own terms, at their own convenience, in their own time. It enables your customer to make a purchase easier and quicker than ever before. Your customer doesn't have to come to your location anymore, your customer doesn't even have to call you. Your customer can make a fast easy transaction for your product without even leaving their home.
Leverage multimillion dollar advertising technologies
Having a website enables you to take advantage and piggy backing on multimillion dollar technologies. Your business, goods, and services will be listed in Google, Bing, and other search engines for free. Your products can be demonstrated on YouTube for free. You can take advantage of electronic transactions and security for nearly free. All of these technologies working together to put you and your customer together.
The bottom line
The bottom line is, a website will improve your bottom line.

Reasons you may not have a website yet
Are there good reasons for not having a website?
If you don't already have a website, it may be for a number of reasons. Perhaps you think it costs too much. Perhaps you don't know how to get started on a website. Perhaps you think you don't have time for a website. We've worked very hard to make all of those problems go away.
KA-CHING! We save you MONEY
We save you cost in a number of ways. First, the technology that we've developed is very unique and makes creating a website very fast, saving on development time and cost. Second, the technology is very easy to use, you don't have to be a "techie" to use it. You will easily be able to help with creating your site, saving you more in development costs. Third, since the technology is so easy to use, you don't have to call us to further grow or change your website, you save even more in development cost. Of course this doesn't mean we abandon you; quite the contrary, we stay with you, doing as little or as much as you want, providing live support as long as you are a Frugal Client.
We make it easy
Perhaps you think its too hard to get a website or you don't know how to get started. Not to worry, that's what we're here for, we can do the work from start to finish. You can be involved in the process and do as much as you like, or you can consider us the one place to call to solve all the problems and leave it all in our capable hands. We make it easy for you to get through it. We'll answer all your questions, explain each step, and we'll work with all of the third parties if you like.
AND easy to maintain
You might think maintaining a website is too hard or takes too much time. Maintaining a Frugal Site is fast and easy. If you know how to send an email, you'll understand how to update your site. Let's look at an example, adding a new Product to your website only takes a moment or two, and requires no more knowledge than knowing how to edit text and perhaps point to a picture on your computer. Your website will know how to add your product to your Product Catalog, how to show it in a "detailed view", and will know how to add it to your customer's Shopping Cart and calculate shipping. Do you need your website to know more about what to do with your product? We can make it do that too.
You'll be surprised
We've been plesantly surprised at how quickly Frugal Clients learn to update their website, and how much they enjoy doing it.

Why Should You Have a Frugal Site?
Why should you have a Frugal Site, rather than any other website?
We do "Fast and Easy" better than anyone
Because, quite frankly, we do "Fast and Easy" better than anyone we know! We know a lot of web developers say that, but we really do. Our technology enables you to make real time updates to your website without knowing anything about web development. You can do very sophisticated things with your Frugal Site, like add a new option to your menu-bar, extend your website with a new Service line, and tie this information in with a Service Catalog and your Shopping Cart. Try doing all that without calling your web-guy, with a Frugal Site you can, and If you need to be able to do more or learn more, we will help you.
Our Technology is FAST
Our technology is fast - fast! In most cases we can snapshot an existing website and enable it with our technologies, or create a new website enabled with our technologies, in a matter of hours, not days and weeks.
We handle upgrades for you
Third party upgrades should improve your web experience, not break it. We make sure that they do. As new internet browser or other software is released, we make sure your website continues to run smoothly.
We keep your site up to date
As we solve problems for our other Frugal Clients, we roll new innovation back into our service for you. As a Frugal Client, you get to take advantage of new innovations as a regular part of our service. For instance, if a Client needs us to provide a solution for a new method of shipping; we roll that solution back into our service making it available to you. We are constantly providing new features and innovations to our Clients.
You can talk to us in person
We feel it is so important that our clients be able to reach us in person. We provide personable service and live support, you can call us any time. We also make personal visits and meet with you when you need it.
We're connecting the entire community
We provide a connection with community. The OurSilverton.com website will continue to grow connecting business and community together in new ways. You have the option of being part of that connection.
Our competitors can't touch this
We find that our competitors can't or won't touch this. This is what it means to have a Frugal site.
