Outsourcing Woes

Outsourcing the tasks or things in your business that you are not very good at or that are just too time consuming is a great idea. Most of the time this can be an awesome decision and can free up valuable time and energy to pour into the important things like generating new business and customer satisfaction.

Though I am great with photography, I am not much of a web designer. I even took classes on HTML and Flash in college but found it incredibly time consuming and couldn’t personally translate the “numbers and letters” of HTML into photos, colors, and design elements. In comes my web designer specific for the photographer’s needs! They do all the design but I can customize the sight on a daily basis by changing text, photos, and colors whenever I want! It’s been really great…until this week! This week I was informed that my site was accidentally deleted along with all the photos and info as it was being transfered over to a new server. What!? All gone?! I have to start from scratch at the beginning the summer wedding season?! Yep. The positive spin on it is that I will get a shiny new updated website with all the bells and whistles with great customer service!

I was frustrated at first because I am thinking of all the hours of work that will have to go into this remodel that I wasn’t really looking to do right now. In truth, it will probably be really good for my branding. I had a website before I had a clear brand. Now that my brand is better understood and established (with the help of Logo Works!) I will be able to design my site more specifically around it. Hopefully you’ll be able to check out the new and improved site before the end of this month!
