Are You Afraid Of Being Ripped Off By Website Designers

The following is a survey Sandra Angelo of LearnToDrawFast.com (a TrevNet Media client) completed about her experience with us.
Question 1: Based on the above, what do you have to offer? Give me a
brief pitch below.
Answer: 3 years ago streaming video was not common and the cost of compression was astronomical. I had to pay $4,800 to convert 18 DVDS to streamed content.

Now you can do that yourself simply by uploading to YouTUBE or Vimeo. But in those days you had to get professional help.

It was in that environment that I tried to find someone to create a website that would serve up online video courses.

I went through $26,000 and 4 designers before I found one who actually made the thing work and met the scheduled deadlines.

Unfortunately they charged me $500 per month simply to stream content and trying to get them to help or update was a nightmare. Still I was very afraid to change because of the three prior nightmares I had with the other designers.

Then SUPERMan arrived.

A friend referred me to her designer who was:

  1. Reasonably priced
  2. Conscientious
  3. Honest
  4. Went beyond the call of duty
  5. Is responsive to any requests for help
  6. Did an amazing job designing my site
  7. Set it up very quickly
  8. Made it so that I maintain it all by myself very easily
  9. Is pleasant and gracious
  10. Only charges me $49.95 per month (as opposed to the $500 I was paying) For obvious reasons, I call him SUPERMan!
Question 2: What field do you specialize in?
Answer: I help people master art in days instead of decades. We provide daily 30 minute lessons in Home Study Courses with workbooks and DVDS. http://www.LearnToDrawFAST.com
Question 3: If applicable, which company did you deal with (company name
will NOT be published)?
Answer: Don’t remember the first three but the fourth was TVWorldwide.com. SUPERMan’s company is called http://www.trevnetmedia.com/
Question 4: Did you find another designer or did you do it yourself?
Answer: I found an amazing web guy. Talented in both tech and design… a rare combo. http://www.trevnetmedia.com/
Question 5: Additional info….
Answer: Feel free to email with questions: sangelo1@cox.net

Improving Email and Client Communication

Here at TrevNet we’re always trying to find ways to improve the lives of our staff and our clients by adding simplicity to our daily routines. We needed a better way to collaborate with clients and keep track of all our projects. Like most companies, we relied too heavily on email to manually manage everything. This isn’t always necessary, and we’re here to prove it to you.

After weeks of research and planning, we’ve finally setup TrevNetCollab.

TrevNetCollab is our way of bridging the gap between client communication and project planning. It allows the team behind TrevNet Media to collaborate on projects in a single location, with our clients. You, as a client, can keep track of our progress and leave us any note’s along the way.

Before TrevNetCollab, we heavily relied on email and this can be very unreliable at times, especially with the amount of email we all get in our inbox. When you depend on email for project tracking, data storage and client communication, you lose the ability to maintain a circle of communication between all parties. On top of that, emails, attachments and any special notes often get lost, or missed because too much is going on at once between too many people.

Not to worry, our new system does not eliminate the use of email, if you reply to any email sent from our system, that reply will automatically be inserted into TrevNetCollab under your profile or current project. And, if you have a smartphone, or iPhone, then you can access the mobile version of TrevNetCollab as well. Keeping you informed of your project with us where ever you go.

If you are a current client and haven’t received your login information for TrevNet Collab yet, give us a call at 800-841-7380 and we’ll get you setup so you can enjoy the great benefits of this new system for your next project!
