So, I have been tossing this new product offering around in my head. I like to call it dynamIt Peace of Mind. It is quite simple really, all you need is an existing website that is at least moderately attractive and functions well, and some expendable budget.

It works like this. You select the plan that fits you the best. Then, you pay dynamIt, a quality web engineering and design firm, $X per month. Before you know it, you begin feeling better about your web presence. That all there is to it.

It is sort of like the placebo effect for web. Because you have a qualified web firm listed under your operating expenses you figure your website must be getting better. Makes sense, right?

Yes, it sounds crazy, but from time to time in working with clients we hear stories that are not far off. Recently, we were told by a corporate organization who was not too familiar with CMS that their last campaign site cost them about $35,000 annually and that afforded them two updates all year!

Luckily, dynamIt takes a different approach. More to come on this soon.

But seriously, if you are interested in dynamIt Peace of Mind, you know where to find us [wink].

Dynamit was honored as one of the “Best Places to Work” in 2010 & 2011 by Columbus Business First newspaper and Interactive Agency of the Year. Times are even better in 2012 and we’re hiring a Web/Graphic Designer for our aggressively growing team.
