The Site Management Relationship - A History and Overview

Over the years, Shovi Websites has provided our clients valuable Professional Experience in the field of web services. You rely on doctors, auto mechanics, printing companies, accountants and hair stylists to give you results in areas that you lack the professional experience, so why shouldn't you rely on a professional firm that excels in Website Management?

What IS The Site Management Relationship?

In a nutshell, the Site Management Relationship (SMR) is a monthly engagement of Shovi Websites to provide you with web services. We structure the SMR to ensure that each month you will receive an optimum level of services, as opposed to bundling a package plan that includes services you may not need each month. You can click on any of the links above and to the left to read about our experience in every field of web services.

This structure affords Shovi Websites an opportunity to become closer and more attached to your website and find ways to improve on it, develop new content, new strategies and ideas to create a return on your investment. This focus, as opposed to the traditional approach of a one-time fee and small recurring service plan, puts more accountability on us to give you results; and we prefer that.

Since the beginning, the goal of Shovi Websites has been to provide well-rounded expertise across the spectrum of web services. To meet that goal we have invested equally in a hosting infrastructure, website development strategies, marketing strategies, and more. We maintain an in-house "Standard" of our best practices for all areas of our service portfolio, so that we can constantly ensure that we will not fall short of your expectations.

How the Site Management Relationship Compares to Today's Popular "DIY" Model

Today, it isn't difficult to get a website up and running. There are hundreds of businesses out there who have streamlined the process of signing up a client, buying them a domain name, tying the domain into a hosting account, and giving them tools with which to build their own websites. Even customized websites using pre-built templates as a framework can be turned around with relative ease, again leaving the responsibility of the website's success in the hands of a business owner.

But business owners should be focused on running their business, not becoming web designers, online marketers, and hosting companies. And the business model of most web design firms and hosting companies requires that they step out of the process at the most crucial -- but time-consuming and expensive -- step...that of ensuring your website continues to function and provide you a return on your investment. So they automate as much as possible, discount as much as possible, and lure you into a scenario that will deliver a cool-looking website with little thought to how that website will WORK.

The DIY Concept is doomed for failure, but this SMR idea sounds expensive

Not really. It's true that your monthly investment would be more than if you were to contract with a discount provider or another company whose goal will be to put the management of your website back in your lap (with all of the other things you need to do on a daily basis). But in the end, you also aren't paying for web hosting or email. You most likely won't have a huge bill to have your website designed. And most importantly, you will have the benefit of working with the Executive Management of a small business, NOT an outsourced business unit of a faceless discount provider.

Ask yourself what an effective website is worth to your company, and you'll understand why it makes more sense to work with professionals like us.
