They aren’t secrets so much as they are a checklist of things that might seem counterintuitive on the surface\, but obvious when you hear the explanation. \n• How to set up your website for success from the beginning \n• What matters most to visitors? \n• Building functionality – map out how the site needs to work for the customer \n• Why no one cares about you and your “about me” page…except when they do. \n• Your invisible third party on the site • When should you pull the trigger on building a site? When should you pay for it? What should I do before I get to that point? \n• Workshop live sites that you own/use and how to improve them in real time \nRyan Pramberg\, Alexander Newby\, and Rob Benson – this team of serial entrepreneurs have had their hands in non-profits\, kickstarters\, web design and development\, and financial advising. We believe that the best strategy is to “show\, not tell” as we build beautiful websites that convert for your business.

If its a money hole\, how do we solve that problem?\n                Is the website the center of your lead generation or something else?\n                What are some common ways to update a site to make it look clean and modern? A 21st century design style?\n                What are you asking clients to do? Is it clear? Obvious? Simple? Central? Repeated?\n                Live Group Activity – What does your current website communicate to people that are not you?\n\nRyan Pramberg\, Alexander Newby\, and Rob Benson – this team of serial entrepreneurs have had their hands in non-profits\, kickstarters\, web design and development\, and financial advising.
