New Service to Help Web Companies Generate new Business Leads

Website design companies have traditionally found it hard to get new business when starting out. Gaining good quality leads in the first 6 months is almost more about luck than skills as a sales person.

(PRWEB) December 19, 2005 -- Website design companies have traditionally found it hard to get new business when starting out. Gaining good quality leads in the first 6 months is almost more about luck than skills as a sales person.

Now, however, a new website has been launched for 2006 to help website design companies and freelancers throughout the world to get good quality leads delivered straight to their inbox.

Quotes4AWebsite.com has been created by UK based Lobster-iT Ltd after they realised how difficult it can be for start-up web design companies to get some initial penetration into the market.

The man behind Quotes4AWebsite.com, Russell Davies, explains “We have been dealing with web companies and their clients for the last 2 or 3 years and have continually found how difficult it can be to put people looking for web design work together with companies who can provide them with services”.

“We tried out a few similar websites that offer this kind of service but always found that they didn’t understand what web companies wanted from the leads they generate and also confused those people looking for web design services by making the process of requesting the lead too complex”.

“So we have created a simple system which doesn’t try to get too much information up-front, leaving the detailed explanation to later”.

Quotes4AWebsite.com has targeted a keen market for its services. The web design industry is highly competitive especially throughout Europe and the USA. Stiff competition from developing countries such as India and Indonesia (where developer salaries and associated costs are so much lower) has put pressure on web companies to cut their prices drastically. So getting your first company website should no longer be a costly or difficult process but with so many companies to choose from, finding a good web design company is now more about luck than judgement.
“We hope that people and companies using the site to find their next web designer will see that they can now evaluate a number of local or worldwide companies against each other and hopefully that will lead to finding the best designer for their project” explained Davies.

So how does the new service work? Well, web design companies sign up for the directory listing for free. They can put their company details on the site totally free of charge and will also get a one month trial for the leads service.

Companies or individuals looking for web design services can browse through the directory of web companies and contact any that they wish. However, if they want they can enter their project requirements into a simple form on the home page and Quotes4AWebsite.com will match them up with relevant web companies.

Davies explains “We manually check each and every request for a quote to ensure that it is genuine and to also see where further explanation could be helpful”. The quotes are then emailed out to the web developers so they can act on the new lead immediately.

Companies who find the leads service useful can subscribe to the service after their month trial. For a small, standard monthly charge they can receive unlimited leads in their email inbox.

“A number of similar services make a charge per lead” explained Davies, “but we felt that web design companies preferred to have a fixed cost so that they know where they stand, and know how much they are spending and not worrying about how much the leads service will cost them each month”.

Currently the monthly subscription is £75 but they expect that cost to fall as subscription numbers rise.

“We hope to get the cost of the subscription as low as possible but it will depend on how many companies subscribe but initial thoughts are that it could drop as low as £50 in the first year”.
