Best Method
how it works
enfohub was designed just for small businesses, even those not familiar with websites and with limited technical skills. We love those that feel uneasy with the complex do-it-yourself programs offered by major website builders. They want an affordable website solution with real-person guidance.
To order the website builder, we prefer customers to fill out the information form and then communicate with an App Manager to discuss their business and personal needs. Our App Managers provide a list of options along with pricing plans. A determination is made on whether the website is designed by the customer or by our staff. Together, a plan is created to build the website and outline the best approach for managing and updating it to maximize the benefits of the website for the business.

Pricing
Prices begin for the website builder at $25mo., an App Manager will provide pricing based on business & needs. Indicate your contact preference, Call, Text or email. The mobile Task Manager is free, and ad free too!
Getting Started
or just test the waters
Contact with an App Manager to discuss your specific needs first, can be highly beneficial.
Chat With App Manager
Here is a list of the things needed to create a website:
| Domain:: | One of the most important elements of an effective website. |
| Images: | Another very important element, people like to see images more than read text. |
| Content: | Tell potential customers what you do, what you have done and why you do it. |
| Design/Style: | Website’s style should reflect the business’s style, colors, fonts, etc. |
| Goals: | What is it you want customers to do and see, goals are very important. |
| Budget | Prices begin at $25mo, App Managers provide pricing based on business. |
This is just the first step, not the final order
Note: Domains do not need to be determined at the start; a temporary 'build-site' is used during the building period. Allowing more time to find the best domain name.
The Pre-Order Form button opens a form, which the enfohub staff will review. There is no obligation, no continual calls, no sales pressure. You will be contacted as you indicated (Call, Text or email) with their recommendations and options.
‘Just as a lock needs a key to open, small businesses need a website to have real success.’ -enfohub
Get a website
the process
A temporary ‘Build Site’ is created, and your login information is provided. Only you and enfohub can see the website, until it is completed and live. The domain will need to be selected prior to going live.
During this period, you can test the tools and practice without being concerned about customers seeing anything.
App Managers
a new business model
We recognize the 5 predominant website builder models, with the most common being a self-serve do-it-yourself option that serves millions of customers. They feel cold and watch for those extra fees their bots slip in.
On the other end, there are companies that leverage salespeople to showcase prebuilt websites, claiming they were specifically created for you. They aim to sell as many websites as possible at the highest prices using pitches like "your website will be #1 on Google for sure." We see a lot of these and are often priced at $400 a month!

The third predominant model is a small custom website maker, often someone with a regular job who dabbles in websites on the side. Maybe a friend of a friend. This model is rife with pitfalls, such as limited experience, availability, and the likelihood they aren’t around long.
A fourth website maker model is the Free website. It could be a website from a company like Google, or one of the many ‘Industry’ sites that offer a free website or listing along with other similar businesses. There are many of these industry sites, like bestprosintown.com, that cater to businesses in the same area or the same industry.
In the tech world there is a saying, ‘If it is free, you are the product!’ No company is going to build a product like a website builder just to give it away for free. One can assume, it is not a great website, then assume your data will be sold to advertisers who are not going to your customer. These sites make money selling your information and not by building great websites. You can expect a site that will not perform well. Even the Google websites perform poorly, while there are a few tools, Google’s goal with these free websites is to gain more data to sell to advertisers.
Another of these 'free' website models is the social media Apps like Facebook and Instagram, which are Apps and not websites. They post your business on their App and no one can access your site unless they are registered with the App and are logged in. These are not websites. There are benefits from being on these social media but know their availability is limited. A good website is accessed on the internet, these social media Apps are on the internet and your website should be too - accessible to everyone. Everyone who has Facebook gets those emailed teaser notices stating that a Friend has just posted something on their page. Ever wonder why they don't just show you the post in the email? It is because they want you to login into Facebook because when users spend more time on the platform they will interact with other content, generating ad revenue for Facebook. This is the only goal of these social media Apps, not to make great websites for small businesses. Keep your social media pages, but get a real website too, the minimal cost of the website will more than pay for itself.
Again, remember, you get what you pay for with these free sites, which is not much.
Lastly, there's the "pay once” website, then its free forever model. While it may sound enticing, technology evolves and renders your website obsolete at some point, making it essentially useless. If they are not getting paid regularly, how can they stay in business?
We get what we pay for, these one-time fee websites do not have business tools and rarely get updated with new features. Remember, a good website should ‘make you money’, they should not be just the cost of doing business - they should make you money! A good website is an investment, invest wisely, not cheaply.
We have a new model, we use real people called App Managers. Dedicated to help small businesses, just like everyone at enfohub. They are not 'sales reps', overseas workers or bots. Our App Managers are typically local and will get to know you and your business. Therefore, make sure to contact them regularly and seek their advice not only for tips on your website but also for marketing and other business solutions, which are potentially even more important.
And if you like your website and App Manager, be sure to tell your friends - don’t bogart that website App!

Free Task Manager
free is good
enfohub was started by small business owners who asked: What do small businesses need the most? Experience told us - better organization and task management. In developing our Task Manager App, we realized it had great value for both businesses & individuals too. So, we decided to make it free and the foundation of all our products. Everyone can use the App for free - small businesses, their staff, and even friends and family - because improved organization benefits everyone. When your staff is better organized, you have a better staff.
Everyone should get it, use it, share it.
