Shitty Micro-Sites

I love small local stores. Wether it be for nick nacks, foods, etc. I often want to approach very small businesses with my services as a web designer and developer but rarely do because it’s difficult to make the business case in terms they will appreciate.

Just now, I encountered a perfect business case. My go to Chinese restaurant has been sucking on the quality as of late, but wait! I can’t find their competitors menu’s. I typically toss them, because I’m loyal like that. Any way, how do I know which to call? What’s the minimal order amount for delivery? Sure Google maps gives me their address and number but am I really going to call 2 or 3 places to compare? No.

But since one of them has a website, no matter how shitty it may look they have a leg up. And in a world of 8 second or less attention spans that single Chinese restaurant has won my business. The way I see it, for every person that finds them online they stand to make at least $100 a year. 10 orders at a minimum of $10 for delivery. Which leads to word of mouth, and a potentially loyal customer base.

So take that Orient Garden, Hunan Express is up in this piece.
