Fred Pierce got his computer science degree from Utah Valley University and his career took him to the world of Microsoft and Novell where he specialized in client support for 13 years. His job was corporate support and he looked after huge companies and when their server teams couldn’t figure out the problem, they called in Fred. Fred says, “Sometimes it could be a 20 minute fix or a 24 hour fix. The job was very demanding because the customers could lose tens of thousands of dollars when their systems weren't working, it was extremely stressful.”
Because of Fred’s experience in computers and his passion for website design, he was asked to run BnBwebsites. "We wanted to start a company that people felt good about that didn’t charge ridiculous prices." BnBwebsites.com launched at the end of 2009.
"Our biggest goal was to do what was right and the money will come. We can help small businesses make more money so they can have a better life and that is how we will grow our business. Customer referrals are huge for us", says Fred.
"We offer something for everyone, our websites are made as easy as possible for our customers to control. How many people feel out of control with their websites? They don’t know how to start or how to maintain their sites. We want our customers to be able to run, change and edit their websites 24/7 and we are here to teach and support; or we can do it for them." They are located in Salem, Utah and have grown to a staff of seven. Their formula for success is paying off as they have built and managed hundreds of sites to date.
BnBwebsites.com is user friendly and they have their prices posted on their website to educate their customers on how to make the best decisions for their own needs. They don’t hide prices and what you see is what you get, there are no hidden add-ons. Fred says, "There was an innkeeper who called and said, 'I have quit my second job and my B&B business has tripled because of my website,' Fred says, "That makes my whole job so worth while." BnBwebsites.com can assist you in building a new site, or they can do it for you. They start at the do it yourself Bronze package priced at $400 plus a low cost monthly service fee. They also offer full service with packages going up to $2900 for a custom one-of-a-kind website. The average price is around $1800.
"We can do as little or as much as you want" That sounds like the perfect beginning of a great website!
