Mutterings from Monique: Consulting for DotCom Success

When we first started DivaDesignWorld clients came to us for web design of simple brochure sites. As we evolved clients began asking us to build completely self-contained dot-coms (web based businesses). Many folks are still under the false assumption that, 'if we build it they will come'. In actuality a dot-com is like any other business. In order to be successful an online business requires branding, an offline marketing campaign, an online marketing campaign, strategic public relations, and seed money.

As a full service marketing agency, DivaDesignWorld's goal is to impress upon clients the importance of each of these aspects when building an online business. Hopeful entrepreneurs need to understand that in addition to a 'whiz-bang' web site, they need a compelling market message, outstanding print materials, and a strategic marketing campaign. For this reason we encourage dot-com clients to take advantage of DivaDesignWorld's affordable consulting services. With clients in Portland, Seattle, Florida and California, DivaDesignWorld has the ability to offer consulting and design services to businesses throughout the United States.
