Website Design for Rhode Island
By Dave Mancarella
There are thousands of web designers across the country. How do you choose who to do business with?
Rhode Island is a unique place in how devoted its residents are to doing business locally. Conversations with clients reveal why this can be such a good idea. One customer of mine told me about a company based in California that supposedly carried out “search engine optimization” (SEO) on their behalf for months. When we discussed how I could save them $25 every month on SEO (while also hosting and maintaining the website I would build them) they logged into their account with this company to cancel it. It was only then that they found out the company had done nothing for them. The keywords and information they had sent in had never been implemented.
Now, of course I’m not implying that non- Rhode Island companies won’t do a good job. But I like that I can offer customers the peace of mind that I’m based in Providence. If they need any help with their website I’m just a phone call away, and if they want to meet in person, I’m happy to oblige.
The reason I named this company Dialogue Web Design is that the relationship between a company and their customers should be an open dialogue. That philosophy guides how I treat my customers, and how I help my customers treat theirs.
