Choosing the right approach for building your website can feel overwhelming. Whether you’re thinking about a DIY site, having a professional build it while you handle the content, or opting for fully managed services, each option has its perks and pitfalls. At Snerdey Web Designs, we’re here to make things clearer and help you decide what’s best for you.
Why Choose Snerdey Web Designs Over Cheaper Options?
Look, I get it. Your neighbor Mike might offer to whip up a website for the price of his favorite six-pack, but here’s the thing: with Snerdey Web Designs, you’re not just getting a website—you’re getting a partnership. After working in various fields (yes, I’ve had over 40 jobs before finding my calling in web design!), I’ve learned the value of integrity, dependability, and real customer service. My time at AOL taught me to prioritize client needs and offer honest advice. That’s why clients choose us—they know we’re in it for the long haul, not just a quick buck.
Setting Realistic Expectations for Your New Website
So, you’ve got a shiny new website ready to go live—what next? Here’s the reality check: even if your website is perfectly optimized, it won’t be an overnight success. It’s like picking up a grain of sand and tossing it into the ocean. New websites need time to be discovered. We help by setting up a strong foundation and working with you on a strategy to build traffic over time. Forget those “Coming Soon” pages; let’s get creative and start driving real engagement from day one.
When I first created Snerdey.com, my setup was far from conventional. I was living in a tent on the beach at South Padre Island, Texas, with no internet. My summer home was a simple arrangement: a tent, a tarp, and my Jeep. It felt like a deserted island, except for the occasional park police who made their rounds and always nice, helpful.
During those days, I programmed on my laptop and, whenever I made it into the city, I would upload updates to the website. Despite the isolation, I was determined to build something meaningful. Nobody believed it would work except my mom. RIP Mom, miss & love you! I know your proud. She taught me how to sell.. shut up and listen.
This unique experience shaped my approach to business. Pricing is low because it’s not just about making money—it’s about ensuring your success so that I can succeed too. Focus is on helping you achieve your goals, which in turn leads to my own success. ~Snerdey

Dealing with the Initial Challenges: Low Traffic and Spam
What happens when your site has been live for a couple of weeks, but the phone isn’t ringing, and all you’re seeing is spam? This is where our expertise shines. One of the first things I do is check the backend settings. You’d be surprised how often we find simple errors—like having “do not index” selected—that prevent search engines from even seeing your site. We also implement robust spam filters and ensure your contact forms and emails are secure. We’re not just setting up your site and walking away; we’re actively ensuring it performs well and stays protected.
Simplifying Sales and Enhancing User Experience
If your goal is to sell products or services online without gathering too much customer information, we’ve got you covered. We can design a streamlined process that makes it easy for customers to get quotes or add items to their cart without the hassle of immediate checkout. And if you ever need to make changes or updates, you won’t be left in the dark. With our Managed Websites service, we handle everything for you, so you can focus on your business while we take care of the tech.
Addressing SEO and Traffic Issues
Let’s talk SEO. You could have the most beautifully designed site in the world, but if it’s not properly optimized, it’s not going to bring in traffic. I’ve seen clients spend thousands on SEO services, only to have their site blocked from indexing due to a simple checkbox error. At Snerdey Web Designs, we dig deep to make sure everything is set up correctly from the start. Then, we build on that foundation with ongoing optimization strategies to increase your visibility and drive the right kind of traffic.
Affordable Pricing Without Compromising Quality
You might be wondering why our prices are so much lower than some of the big-name competitors. It’s simple: I’m not in this for the quick wins. I’m here for the long game. By focusing on sustainable, recurring services like hosting and managed website packages, I can keep my prices low while still providing top-notch service. Plus, every client gets personalized attention and support—no outsourcing to cheap third-world designers here. I handle your project myself, ensuring quality and satisfaction every step of the way.
The Importance of Hosting, Security, and Backups
Let’s get real for a second. If your website isn’t generating income or leads for your business, then sure, maybe those bundled hosting deals from big providers seem like a good deal. But if your site is critical to your business’s success, you need more than just a generic service. At Snerdey Web Designs, we provide tailored hosting solutions, robust security measures, and regular backups. Why leave your site’s performance and security to chance? With us, you know exactly who to call if something goes wrong, and we’re on it immediately—not next week.
Conclusion
Building a website is just the beginning. Whether you’re going the DIY route, hiring a professional, or opting for a fully managed service, the key is finding the right partner who understands your needs and goals. At Snerdey Web Designs, we’re not just here to build your site—we’re here to help your business grow and succeed. Let’s talk about what we can do together.
