Website Sales Call

[Music] final web design this is Steve final web design  this is Steve hey Steve this is Kevin I give a call back Hey Kevin how are you sir great great  so I just H had a few questions I saw you or we received your request for an e-commerce website  you're trying to build I just wanted to get a few more details so I can get you a proper proposal  perfect yeah okay so you kind of mentioned that you currently had have a plants business yes  we would like to start selling plants online through e-co

mmerce kind of like think like  Amazon but for plants basically Amazon but for plants like something like Amazon but like  for plants yeah how like customize it like oh I'm what when you say customize it you were going  somewhere with that yeah like customizing like so you get to pick your play and then if you  would like you guys pick like a pot okay and and what other options would there be um so  besides plant and pots anything else would be like would wouldn't be much else that I can  pick o

ff the top of my head so I could look at like an Amazon and obviously they have you know  purchasing they have user logins profile Creations um you know shipping and orders and things like  that but as far as like in your actual Market in your business do you have any websites that  are similar like any companies that are doing something website it is called the s.com the S  yeah the S how do you spell that s uh t h e s i l l the sill.com okay by buy plants okay okay this  is nice to see so you'

re trying to build something like like competitor okay something like that  just making it like very easy for the customer to just go out and and buy the pl basically okay  how many plants do you have and how many pots like how many products to start off we wanted to do  like between 50 to 100 I'll have all the pictures and everything ready and then you know Mak make  it easier to integrate more uh more plants in the future so you have all you said you have all the  pictures um descriptions pric

es prices yeah and how do you have that like in a Excel format or  like a a spreadsheet or in just different files what would be ideal for you guys I have file but  I could like put it all into like a spreadsheet if you'd like I mean technically that would  usually be easiest sometimes we can even like upload Mass like if it's 50 to 100 products we  could do almost like a big upload like that but um really however you have it I mean we can make  it work okay um but I guess that's something we co

uld discuss once we got to that stage uh have  you got other quotes for this or do you have an idea what you're expecting this to cost yeah I  have a I have a couple of quotes I'm going around contacting a lot of different like companies and  then me and U my my team we going to take a look at who we're going to finally go with okay and are  you're in the Miami area yeah okay we are we're as well we're in Brickle here well I mean just to  kind of be up front with you what I can do is I can defin

itely provide a proposal and estimate for  our projects but if we get into eCommerce I mean we usually won't even you know start a eCommerce  build especially with like 50 to 100 products for anything like under 5,500 um I don't know what  kind of other ballpark numbers you're getting but that just kind of gives you an idea but what I'm  going to do is just following our calls I'll put together like an official estimate and proposal  and I can actually break it down and um you know kind of line

item it but usually something  like this too would take like 6 to 8 weeks depending how quick we get the products the data  the information the logos things like that right so is that is that even okay another um website  you can take a look at this is another Lively route okay okay so yeah that's pretty similar here  uh the only you know thing that gets a little more complicated here is how you're trying to like mix  the plants and the pots so people will actually pick the pot the plant and the

n from there they're  given options to select the pot that they want it to go into yeah okay um I'm going to have to just  look a little bit how they're doing some of that but um that shouldn't be a problem so yeah and  you currently have like the domain name the URL you want to use business logo colors things like  that it's all Incorporated yeah and do you know what payment Gateway you want to use like a PayPal  or like an authorized.net or what do you recommend for the payment uh I mean a lot

of people just for  Simplicity will use like a PayPal or something but if you're going to want to actually take the  credit cards directly to like your business account and and not have that third party like  a Google pay or an Apple pay or a PayPal we can do it with an authorized net where um you actually  take the cards on your website yourself but you do need to have an LLC for the company and you have  to have a business bank account so I'm sure you have both of those okay okay so then that

should  I would recommend then that you do authorize.net yeah I I definitely don't want to use like PayPal  party I'll do that yeah because with those you don't have as much control and if somebody tries  to like reverse charges or something it's it's kind of in PayPal yeah it's in PayPal and stuff's  hands now as far as the technology or the platform obviously we'd build this for you know iPhones  Androids desk tops but it are you familiar with like WordPress woocommerce or Shopify I mean is 

there anything that you've yeah I mean what do you recommend you know because I'm familiar with them  but I was wondering what you guys recommend like what do you guys think work with so I mean what  I would recommend is a WordPress with like a woo Commerce extension which is basically turning a  WordPress which is open source it's not a company it's a community um and then using wo Commerce  which you can integrate with the WordPress and then make the sales through the website and  you're not d

ealing with a Shopify where you have to pay them a monthly fee um they're not  taking a percentage of your sales Shopify has some benefits too that it's it's usually a little  bit easier to manage but at the same time there's a lot of uh you know it's a corporation not an  open source so and customizations and things like that are a little harder it's more theme  based with you right and then you guys will you guys like do like monthly maintenance of some  sorts I know like Shopify like they hav

e like like you see what I mean like will you guys be  like up to date like what do I get exactly so I get the website and then it's kind of like just  if I want to update or something like how do I how do I go about that I have an issue with it  okay well I can send you more information about that too but we do have like a monthly once the  website's done you don't have to I'll send you the project cost just for the website but we do  have like a maintenance updates upgrades security um just ki

nd of keeping the website evolved as  time goes on so we do have a package like that and I can send you more information on that it's  a little bit different if it's an e-commerce than if it's a just text and image website but I can  definitely get you more information got it but um but you don't technically need to do that we could  just put you on a GoDaddy or a host skat or blue host or one of those companies if you if you don't  want to continue this the maintenance after and we would also b

e able to show you with uh tutorials  and stuff how you can update inventory and stuff in the back once it's all built but it's kind  of got to get online to have something where you can go in and start adding inventory yourself  and we'll do all the initial inventory it's just in the future if you want to change pictures or  prices you'll have some control as well got it so okay I think yeah I think that's pretty much  all the questions I have just to at least get you some more information as f

ar as what the  price of a website build or e-commerce build and then what the cost of a maintenance package  after so I I could definitely send you some of that in is this something you're looking to get  started soon or are you guys got time or I mean I mean the sooner the better yeah we um yeah you  said your turnaround was like 48 weeks right about 6 to8 with e-commerce and that really again it  depends on how good communication stays like if we're in good communication if we're getting stuf

f  right away we can usually keep things moving how we do it is we'll do we do complete customized  design so we'll do it in like an Adobe Photoshop XD we'll send you the concept within about seven  business days after the project gets started but at the same time we'll start setting up the new  website environment on the server building out some of the initial pages and features and such  as we're working on the design with you if you sign off you like the design then we'll go in and  implement

it um so it just kind of keeps both the design and the development moving but again it's  usually about 6 to 8 weeks for everything to get built tested launched um you know it just takes  a little time especially with 50 to 100 inventory and that'll depend too how we receive that if  we got to do it manually or if uh we can like upload if anything yet if we just get started  off maybe a couple less products just looking at the website rolling and then integrate them  in the future yeah we can y

ou can always continue to add inventory and products that's not going  to be an issue or the the website's never like stuck it'll always be able to evolve and change  and add um into the future right okay so I think the proposal yeah so Kevin what I'll do is uh  you know it'll probably be by tomorrow tomorrow morning but I'll sit down I'll I'll look over  everything that we've kind of talked about and some of the example sites and I'll send you to  your email real plant plug gmail.com perfect I'

ll send that over probably first thing tomorrow  and then if you have questions and you want to hop on another call or discuss anything  or you know kind of take it from there but at least we'll have something to look at and  get an idea um what we could do to get this process moving for you perfect it also be the  mobile friendly correct yeah everything will be mobile responsive so it'll work on iPhones  you know Androids all the latest ways people access tablets um access the internet so all r

ight  I guess I'll wait for your proposal then and we'll go from sounds good Kevin we'll try to get that  to you by tomorrow and then again if you have any questions from there um we can hop on another  call or communicate through email or whatever works best and just see what your thoughts are  thank you Steve wonderful absolutely you too take [Music] care
