Nic and Sarah sold an incredible 16 websites during their record-breaking month, and their client base continues to grow and grow.<\/p>\n<p>But what inspired the couple to join up with it'seeze? Nic and Sarah were already running a successful design and marketing business of their own before they partnered with the website company \u2013 here\u2019s why they took the plunge:<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Why did you decide to partner with it'seeze?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nic:<\/strong> Quite simply, the back-up and support.<\/p>\n<p>Joining up with an established company made a lot of sense to us as a business decision. We were looking to scale up our design and marketing business, but the cost to employ additional web developers, web designers, technical staff and a business support team would be huge.<\/p>\n<p>This way, we can offer great value websites but without the additional staffing costs and overheads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah:<\/strong> On top of this, the ongoing support is crucial in helping us grow our business, and it's also great to have the back-up of an established team of designers, developers and support staff.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What made you choose it'seeze over other web platforms?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nic:<\/strong> The website product. It works, it has excellent features, it\u2019s easy to use, and the price points are attractive. The many benefits of an it\u2019seeze website make it an easier sell.<\/p>\n<p>You can have the best back up and support team in the world, but without a solid product it counts for nothing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah:<\/strong> We've been down the path of using wordpress - and all the issues that entails, we've looked at the self-build platforms, weighed up the benefits and ultimately we've not found anything that comes close to what we can offer with our it'seeze websites.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What aspect of the role do you enjoy most?<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah:<\/strong> As a team, we take on different roles while also keeping each other in check.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Nic:<\/strong> I really enjoy marketing and promoting what we do and I love working directly with clients, getting to know their businesses, and building long-term relationships. Sarah is a great networker and helps keep our production system running on schedule.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What has been your biggest challenge to date?<\/strong> <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Nic:<\/strong> Getting people to understand the benefits of the it\u2019seeze website packages vs. most standard websites. There are so many reasons to choose it\u2019seeze when you compare it to what else is available that it\u2019s easy to overwhelm people with all the advantages.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve found that the best practice is focusing on 2 to 3 clear benefits, depending on the customer \u2013 for example, one client might care about the added security of an it\u2019seeze website, whereas another might be more interested in how easy an the website is to update.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sarah:<\/strong> As with everything in business, we're prepared to work hard, we understand our product, and we put the hours in. We can honestly say that if you throw yourself into this, it will work for you!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>If you'd like to know more about it'seeze, visit the website at:<\/strong><\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.itseeze-hull.co.uk\/\">www.it'seeze-hull.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not even a year into their it'seeze website business, and husband and wife team Nic and Sarah Johnson are already enjoying unparalleled success.
