You can always hire a web developer to create this for you; it may not be as expensive as you think since it may simply be a wordpress or shopify site with custom code created.

If you DM me, I can connect you with a web dev you just tell them what you want and if it’s possible to do, and the price makes sense etc… great.

Shopify and Squarespace are super popular but I agree, the interface is ridiculous.

On top of what everyone else said; study your competitors.

1. follow all their social pages (insta, tiktok, facebook etc)

2. study their websites

3. pay attention to any print marketing/mailers that may be delivered to you in that sector

4. type keywords in Google and see what sponsored ads your competitors are running

5. Call them and se how they greet you, ask what specials they have going on etc…

In addition to the recommendations others have stated, there’s no harm in having a pulse of your competitors.

100% agree. BBB can wholly be ignored.

Yelp is a mafia as well, you would’ve thought Google Business would make them go extinct but they still have huge Google organic rankings (e.g top 10 brunch restaurant in New York) and Apple Maps uses Yelp reviews to power their business reviews 🤮

But yeah, BBB calling you in 2023 is like Blockbuster calling you about late fees.

I love this idea! 💡

I’ve been working with offshore developers for almost 10 years, I’ve gone through many teams across different continents. The quickest way to reliability is often to hire via large dev firms; although you do pay a premium. With time and experience you’ll be able to curate your own teams.

The most important advice I would give you is:

1. you need to know what you want, and be able to differentiate between your long term product vision and your minimum viable product.

2. Whoever you decide to prospect for services, ask for a portfolio and/or references that you can actually speak to.

3. Being able to effectively communicate matters. To put it more bluntly, a large language barrier between you and the team can make or break the project. Key leaders of the team need to be fluent in English in my opinion. Alternatively, if you are fluent in their language then that works too lol

4. Upwork is a decent platform to find offshore devs, very legitimate and controlled environment.

After much trial and error, I found a team I work with regularly with on several concurrent projects; web and mobile for all sorts of industries.

I can connect you with them if you’d like to discuss your project needs and see if it’s a good fit for you.
