I take it this is your first website?

Buying a website is like buying a new or used car, you can buy a low end used car cheaply.  It won't get you very far and it is going to be expensive to maintain.

Low end websites just like used cars need a lot updates and maintenance to keep them going and eventually a complete need engine.

Many think a car is just a car, like a website is just a website.  However,  the technology in the lower end web site products are 5-10 years old and are not easily found in the search engines.

A customer that finds you in search engines is the most important part of having a website! It's like the fuel for your car.  No search engine listings -- No customers.

A new WebsiteForge site is like buying a brand new car that gets the latest and greatest features every week!

We add over $200,000 in new technology to your site every year in the form of  2-8 software upgrades weekly.

We provide unlimited service.  Remember your car needs oil and maintenance.  WebsiteForge provides these upgrades at no extra cost! 

Best of all -- we provide unlimited gas (search engine features) driving customers to your website to purchase your products and services!

And if there is a chance you doubt what we are saying -- we will guarantee the success of your business or we'll give you your money back.

What everyone needs to know is -- There are no successful websites based on the "used car analogy".  Successful web sites spend 10x's more money to try to compete with a WebsiteForge web site!

I talk to 600-1000 people a month, most are people who never had a website before.  Typically basing their buying decision on price.

Those who have actually had experience with at least one web site in their past realize the huge benefit of WebsiteForge and our methods.

The combined services and upgrades we provide typically start making money to moment they are found in the search engines! Not long after we set their site up the correct way.

Facts are stubborn things:

- Our retention rate is 98.5%

- Our cancellation rate is less than .05% which is the best in the industry.

- Most web design companies have less than a 50% retention rate and a 25% cancellation rate. 

This means, we know what we are doing!  Helping businesses just like you succeed online.

Before choosing any business please check Ripoffreport.com and the BBB.org.  Ask for a copy of the company's "terms of use" or "contract".

One large web site company in Utah actually has a clause that states they have the right to sue you if you say anything bad about them.  They can sue you for $2500 per occurrence.

That type of policy conicides with a  "bait and switch tactic". Once you have purchased  you can't get your money back... and you signed a one year contract with them that says you can't voice your outrage.

At WebsiteForge, we take the risk out of purchasing a website by giving you an unconditional 12 month money back guarantee for any reason and no contracts!

Hopefully you'll find this e-mail useful like many others have over the years. If you do choose another company and learn the hard-way, please contact me so we can get you on the right path to online success.

I do wish you the best.

This was the response back...

WOW. You are so right. I did not do any research on this company and I am completely shocked at the reports against them.
I have had websites before. I have never had 1 made for me. I have always done my own.
Your price is just to far out of my reach.
Thanks for the help.

Summary...

-----------------------------------

Other website companies have much lower prices for a reason! They offer a low-end product that will not be found in the search engines, it will cost you a lot to update and maintain, plainly put... you just will not be happy with it because you won't make any money unless you are paying money in advertising to send them to your site.

It's kind of like being nickeled and dimed for everything you have.

Remember... You Get What You Pay For!

Don't be fooled in letting these companies tell you that they can offer you everything that we do but for less... if they did... they would cost the same or even more, because people would be willing to pay the price... instead they just pay the price!

If you can not afford to purchase a website from WebsiteForge, just let me know what your budget is and I will try to offer you a solution with a company that can meet your budget so you won't be Ripped-Off by what I call... the used car (website) salesperson.

I wish you nothing but the best in your online endeavor.

Thanks,
