Giving Small Businesses The Big Business Treatment
My name is Colin, and I am the owner and sole developer of Valley Web Services. I discovered programming in high school,
went on to earn my bachelor’s degree in computer science at Rutgers, and am now finishing up my master's degree at NJIT.
Wanting a career where I could work for myself, I started Valley Web Services two years ago. Over the past six years,
I’ve taught myself how to code websites the right way—by hand—and began reaching out to small businesses to offer my help.
What I found was that a lot of small businesses don't have the funds to spend thousands of dollars upfront on a new website.
And the ones that did, got taken advantage of and have a terrible website that looks like it was built by someone in a dungeon
that hasn't seen design trends for the last 10 years. They were in a frustrating spot - they either can't afford a good website, and
if they can they don't know who to trust to make something great. So I tweaked my business model to fit their
needs. That's how I came up with my $0 down and $100 a month model. It's more managable for a small business to handle and won't hurt their
bank accounts.
