Auto
racing is exciting and fun and racing websites should be also. A
race team's website needs to keep sponsors happy, get lots of hits
and keep fans informed about what the team is doing. A business
website needs to appeal to the curious web browser and get potential
customers interested in your products and coming back to check what's
new. How do you get a site that stands out in the vast sea of boring
website mediocrity as your target audience surgs the net? You have
to make it something people will enjoy and hit more than once, but
how do you do that?
Race
team managers have your hands full keeping the car on the track,
the team members fed, and your sponsors happy, and you don't need
another thing to have to worry about. Business owners have to keep
the product moving out the door and the checks coming in the mail,
and you don't need another thing to have to worry about.
That's
where we come in. We're writers, we know racing, we're creative
and, hey, this is what we do.
We
can furnish you with as much copy (that's a writer's term for words)
for your website as you need. We'll update it as often as once a
week with race results to make you and your sponsors look good (does
the term "Spin Doctor" mean anything to you?) and we'll
throw in some photos if you need them, or how about trivia qustions
to keep em coming back. Lots of different things, but always
lively and informative (heck, you can tell them your shoe size if
you want to). We'll get as wild and crazy as you'll let us. Look,
this internet thing is supposed to be entertaining.
We
don't set up your websiteyou'll have to do something for yourselfbut
we'll furnish enough stuff (that's a writer's term for stuff) to
keep you, your sponsors, your fans, your customers, and you mother-in-law
happy and looking forward to the next update. (Oh,
OK, if you need help building the website, we can do that).
You can get updates weekly, monthly, quarterly, or do it once and
forget it. Price depends on quantity of material you want and how
often you want it. (Isn't that always the case!)
We're
in business too and we know that when the smoke clears, winning
and the bottom line are most important. So give us a call, we'll
toss around some ideas and you see what you think.
