YWM__ShopifyContestteaser.png

Our company, YellowWebMonkey, has made several pro bono eCommerce sites since COVID-19 started.  Businesses are working hard to adapt and many don’t have the resources right now. YellowWebMonkey wants to foster entrepreneurship by helping a company expand their reach. Business has changed, especially small business. According to Mainstreet.org’s article on The Impact of Covid-19 on Small Businesses, it is possible for nearly 7.5 million small businesses to close permanently in the next 5 months. 

YellowWebMonkey wants to help a local retail business impacted by Covid-19 by offering a new FREE Shopify website and marketing package.  We appreciate the value of small businesses in our communities. This is a great way to give back to the companies that have sponsored a little league or softball team, placed ads in your school or church programs, have donated to your annual fundraiser, etc.  Retail stores and restaurants are eligible for this contest, and we plan on doing future contests for other industries. Nominate a small business today that could use a free website and social media makeover! 

NO STRINGS ATTACHED!

YellowWebMonkey Web Design has seen a lot of business changes and trends over the last 11 years serving clients. The current Covid-19 situation we’re witnessing is forcing business owners to adapt quickly to the evolving needs of customers. While adapting is a part of being able to succeed in business, it’s also become quite costly in the current environment. A business’ online presence is more important than ever. Less people are driving by billboards and storefronts, seeing program ads for sporting events or theater and jumbotron sponsorships. Even less are interacting in person. Potential customers are finding information and conducting business online whenever possible. Relationship building is occurring through social media. In many cases, it has to. Customers are relying on trust and assurance to re-engage businesses. 

YellowWebMonkey is a US-based web agency that offers one stop shop services for businesses. Nominate a local retail small business today!

Who we are.  YellowWebMonkey Web Design is a Google partner company that has been around for 11 years.  As a small business we believe in supporting each other.  Our company does some pro bono sites and decided to open this to a larger audience while at the same time getting our name out there so that we can potentially get leads.  This will allow us to continue future pro bono work.  We have a plan called “the works” that encompasses more than just a meat and potatoes webpage.  We realize that a beautiful website doesn’t help you if no one goes to it, and messaging like social media, etc are useless unless you are converting into customers.  That is why we put together packages for this niche because they need a little bit of everything.

Fineprint

YellowWebMonkey will transfer full ownership of the website over to the winner.  They will be responsible for the monthly hosting fee with Shopify of $29/mo.  There is a 90 day free trial, so that cost wouldn’t start until August 2020.
