Ekspurt is SO MUCH CHEAPER than hiring a web designer or agency. What’s the catch?

Don’t worry, there is no catch. Based on the quotes our customers share with us, Ekspurt is up to 90% less expensive than a typical web designer or agency. Here’s the deal. We use a collaborative workforce strategy that allows many of us to touch only a certain part of the workload and therefore work effectively while remaining very efficient. We are able to crank out tons of professional projects in a fraction of the time and cost. We work smarter, not harder! We keep our labor costs down and share that with our customers.

What do I get for my subscription fee?

With Ekspurt you pay just one subscription fee, either monthly or yearly. We supply tons of value so you can concentrate on growing your business. Here’s what your subscription fee covers:

  Professional Design & Setup. Your website design is crucial. Hiring a pro ensures that your website will look great and make a great first impression. With Ekspurt, great design and technical setup are included.

  Website hosting. If you hire a designer or agency, you’ll need to pay separately for hosting each month. With Ekspurt, it’s included.

  Ongoing security, outage monitoring, updates, and backups. We know your time is valuable. “We do it for you” monthly site updates allow you to focus on managing your business. If you hire a designer or agency, you’ll have to pay them hourly to fix technical problems as they arise. Designers and agencies very often build their websites using software called WordPress. With this software, frequent updates of the underlying code and all plugins will be required (oh, and you may need to pay a fee just to use the plugins, too). Updates can be tricky because a plugin may not be compatible with a new version of the software — and then the plugin will fail, which can cause critical pieces of your website to stop working (such as your lead-generation form). But not updating your website exposes it to hackers. With Jottful, all this maintenance (and peace of mind!) is included.

  Well-Written Content. Our professional copywriters make sure your site includes engaging content that properly promotes your business. With Ekspurt, we help you with your content. And… it’s included with your subscription.

  Local SEO. With Ekspurt, we optimize your website for local search results to help you get found on major search engines like Google and Bing.

  Expert Marketing. We offer quarterly marketing calls to discuss your business, measure performance, and establish goals. And, as an Ekspurt customer, it’s included.

  Entrepreneurial Success-based training. We’re committed to your success. We include other Community-based tips and strategies for further learning and growth. There’s no charge for this training; it’s all included.

How do I get started?

Glad you asked!
 
  • Schedule a call with us so we can learn more about your website needs. If it seems like Ekspurt could be a good fit, we’ll make you a free sample website so you can see if you like it (that’s right — no risk whatsoever!).
  • We’ll get on a 30-minute video call to show you the free design we’ve created.
  • If you love the design, you can go ahead and sign up with Ekspurt.
  • We’ll then build the rest of your website… and get it launched!
Will my website be one-of-a-kind?

Absolutely! Your website will feature your text, your images, your brand colors, your logo, and a visual look and feel that matches your brand’s personality. We’ll organize everything so it’s easy for your website visitors to navigate the website and take the action you want them to take.

Will my website work on mobile (phones & tablets)?

Absolutely! Ekspurt creates websites that are 100% responsive on all devices so your site will look and work great on desktops, tablets, and mobile.

Can I make sales on my website (ecommerce)?

Yes! There are a number of ways you can make sales on your website. On our first call together, we’ll help you find the best choice for your business.

Will my website include SEO (be optimized so search engines can find it)?

All Ekspurt websites are “SEO-ready,” meaning that they are built in a technical way that makes it easy for search engines to understand them. This is the first step in having a website that is optimized for search engines. The second step is to update your website’s content.

Does Ekspurt integrate with my marketing, appointment, membership, etc. software?

Probably! Schedule a call to let us know what you use and confirm we can work with it.

How long until my new site is live? We can have your new website up and running in as little as 1 week. Yes - one week!  If you already have a website, or if you have your text and images ready to go, we’ll probably have your new website live in less than a week. Yes, seriously, it’s that fast!

If you’re getting a website for the first time and have very little written content, however, it will almost certainly take longer. Exactly how long will really depend on how quickly you can write the text or get someone else to write it for you.

I already have a domain name. Can I use it with Ekspurt?

Absolutely! You can keep your domain with your current registrar or, if you like, you can move it over to Ekspurt. It’s all the same to us.

What happens if I leave Ekspurt?

If you’ve ever built your own website with DIY software, you’re probably already aware that you usually don’t get your content back if you leave. But Ekspurt is different. If you choose to leave Ekspurt, we’ll give you all your text and images back. You can then take that content to a designer, agency, or software program and use it to build a new website.

Are there any long-term contracts?

No, you are free to cancel at any time.

Is there a cancellation fee?

Never!

How much are updates?

Never pay extra for updates. Easily add and edit your content on your own, or just send it to us and we’ll take care of it for you - free of charge.
