We named the company 48WS™ because we will have your website up and loaded with all of your best selling products, in less than 48 hours. The WS is short for WebSite.
We will have your website up in a few minutes. It can take the servers up to 96 hours to transfer and propagate your domain name. In our experience, it usually takes less than two days and many propagate in a few hours. We thought it was better to promise a 48 hour turnaround and under promise and over deliver on the time frame.
We will hold your hand through each of these steps. The benefit of using 48WS™ is that you talk to a real person and don't have to spend valuable time trying to figure out if you are answering the questions correctly or supplying the right information.
No, you sell the products we already have in our database. If you are an industrial distributor, chances are we have your best selling products already. We have spent thousands of hours gathering the most common products an industrial distributor sells.
If you use another website design company, the real work has not even begun. The most expensive and time consuming part of a website is requesting, gathering, cutting, pasting and reviewing product data. You will have to load your site with product information and images. You better have a few bodies and lots of time and money dedicated to just product data. Anyone can get a website up and running in less than an hour, but let's be fair, it will probably look like you got it up in less than an hour and it won't have any products. With a 48WS™ website your site will look professional and be pre-loaded with your best selling products faster and less expensive than you can do on your own.
