Dear Customer,
The money lenders shut up shop at the beginning of the recession, which did no favours for gaining the extra money that would have paid for your new website, bringing to the table a new and efficient revenue stream. To help with the financial burden, Quantum has introduced its new payment terms and the new Quantum Finance Package.
50% for what? You haven’t even started yet!
As you are probably aware, the majority of website development companies require a 50% deposit with all orders. That’s half the price of your project up front before any work has even been started, and then they expect the final balance to be paid before the site goes fully live and before giving you the appropriate training and user testing period.
At Quantum, our Chairman Mr Hurley, who’s background lies primarily in marketing and customer service, has been analysing the website market for some time now, and firmly believes that these are the type of tactics that are giving the industry a bad reputation (sites that are never completed, “that’s not what I ordered” and so on). Mr Hurley has been preaching this belief from the rooftops, all to no avail, because as he explains, the greed factor will always win.
If you like it, you pay for it; if you don’t like it, then don’t pay!
Mr Hurley was puzzled for some time as to how Quantum’s team of specialists could quote say £5k for a feature rich premium website that is fully insured to achieve 1st Page Google Results, but could be undercut by a competitor promising the same product for £3k. How on earth could the competitor be able to afford to employ specialists of the same calibre as Quantum, and charge £2k less?
The unfortunate truth, as outlined by the number of disappointed customers that come to Quantum after unfulfilled promises elsewhere, is that by taking a 50% deposit, these companies feel that half the job is already done. With half of your money up front, they are less obliged to continually produce each aspect of your website to the highest possible standard, resulting in the reasons for the industry’s bad reputation.
After Mr Hurley had given this some serious thought, the penny finally dropped. The only way to make Quantum stand out from the crowd is by changing the industry norm by taking a small deposit up front as a point of commitment, and then staggered payments as each part of the project is completed. If you like it, you pay for it; if you don’t like it, then don’t pay! This will give clients the satisfaction that their business is in reputable and professional hands throughout the progression of their project. This will surely sort the men from the boys, as how can any client possibly dispute these payment terms.

"The taste of bitterness and poor quality remains long after and the sweet taste of low price is soon forgotten."
We are by no means expensive; however it’s impossible to be both the cheapest and the best. You can always find someone to do the job ‘cheaper’ but are you getting better value?
Regards,
Nicola Brockley
