#1 question

How do I keep up
with all this stuff?


The world has changed
• We’re more mobile
• We don’t need boxes in our ofﬁces
• We don’t need to fax
• We don’t need to rely on local


Let’s focus
• Security and Back up
• Websites, blogs and branding
• Email and communications
• Social Management
• Mobile
• Organization


Wine?
• Vintank
• Wine-searcher
• AVIN
• Purple pages
• Adegga
• Forums?


Adegga/AVIN


Able Grape
Still the best


Cellartracker
Still the largest


I’m bored.


Ok, moving on


Ignorance is not
endearing


Tips to do this better
• Learn some CSS www.w3schools.com/css

• Learn Basic HTML www.w3schools.com/html

• Hire an expert - Ask me if the price is fair

• Pay for premium - It’s worth it

Bottom Line:
You need a web presence.


First.


What to remember
• Keep it short and simple

• Go for the dot com

• Be unique!

• Spelling is less important than mnemonics

• Going big? Get: .org .net .co.uk etc....

• I don’t care about .wine should you?


Finally, what should
it cost?


One idea
Time Period Expected Cost
1995 - 1997 $7500 to $12,000
1998 - 2000 $6,000 to $10,000
2000 - 2004 $2,500 to $4,500
2004 - 2009 $2,000 to $7,500
2010 - 2012 $2,500 to $8,500


Not a perfect science
A blog or basic website: 1000€ is a fair price
A website for a winery: 2000€ - 5000€ is pretty good
A complex retail site: 5-10,000€ is a starting point
A simple identity page: 500€
Graphics cost money
Custom layouts and graphics add a lot
Photos cost money: DO NOT STEAL
