This is a great question that’s asked all the time.

But there is a problem with the assumptions where that question comes from. Many think that buying a website is the same as when you go to a brick and mortar store to buy something off-the-shelf. Where you can get “one of them” anywhere and shop around for a better price because they’re all the same right? Some may think that to buy an “off-the-shelf” manufactured item (one of thousands of identical items) the price is pretty competitive and fairly fixed.

Getting your business up and running online with a nice, professional website is certainly rather exciting. There is nothing more rewarding than to take a tour through the clever digital design behind what makes your website truly stunning to view. Yet, despite all the bells, whistles, and dazzling graphical displays, it has been a month and you’re still waiting to make a sale.

Sure, your site has had a few hits. But, for some reason, the traffic visiting your site is not signing up for an account, not placing items in the cart, or not proceeding to the checkout.

You might think, “It’s just a photo!” However, digital products are big business today. Photo supplier, Getty Images has, “an archive of 80 million still images and illustrations” according to Wikipedia and they are known for their feverish pursuit to enforce their licenses.
