The MarCom Lab partners with Precision Computer Works to bring
a truly affordable web solution to small business
Jonathan Smith and Laurie Boyce share a common goal: Helping
small businesses to pay incrementally to launch a web solution to attract
leads, and educate prospects, and engage visitors. Jonathan, CEO of Precision
Computer Works, and Laurie Boyce, CEO of The MarCom Lab both come from small
business, and know the importance of keeping costs down, and felt a need to
rise to the unique challenges faced in today's economy.
Jonathan created an affordable web package that combines
hosting, development and a Content Management system into a low monthly
payment. According to Jonathan "One of the biggest challenges faced by small businesses
when attempting to establish a web presence is up-front costs. Our new business
model almost completely eliminates any upfront expense, as well as providing
our clients with the advanced features today's most robust websites employ all
in one easy to use and easy to pay for package."
Once Boyce met Jonathan, and learned of his revolutionary
model, she jumped at the chance to partner up to provide content services, and
to help market this unique model. According to Laurie Boyce "As a small business consultant, I
work to educate business owners that it is strategic mistake to stop marketing,
even in a down economy. While stopping marketing is not an option, neither is subsidizing
expensive overhead, or other costs that could eat away at your budget." She
adds, "Having a web presence in today's business climate is one of the most
important tools you can employ. The biggest obstacles in getting a website off
the ground is paying for it, and feeding it with the right content. By partnering with Jonathan/Precision Computer Works, I can offer my clients a complete solution at a very affordable price point."
Together, Precision Computer Works, and the MarCom Lab specialize
in small business web design and development focusing on solutions that
effectively meet small business needs at a price anyone can afford. According
to Smith "I handle the development, hosting and launch of the site, while
Laurie offers content services to create an appropriate perception and model
for the market."
Smith and Boyce teach business owners everything they
need to know to get the most value out of their web site. Our clients are an
integral part of the whole process to make sure the development of their small
business site fulfills its purpose. Maintenance and updating of the site is
handled by the client through a user friendly Content Management System.
