New Website. More Leads.
Thank you for considering ARGENTARIUS for your web design project.
Hi {{first_name}},
We look forward to working with you!
During our meeting we identified a number of improvements we could make to your current website in order to represent your brand more effectively and increase the number of new leads {{company_name}} receives.
At the moment you are struggling because of:

- A cluttered and outdated design
- A lack of mobile responsiveness
- Poorly optimized content for SEO.

That means:
- Exploring and defining the true value of {{company_name}} and what you bring to the market.
- Creating consistent messaging that speaks to your audience and using it throughout the entire brand.
- Employing modern lead-generation tactics to increase the current conversion rate from 0.5% to around 3-4%.

Let's start with Your New Website
For over twelve years in the business, ABC Web Solutions re-designed hundreds of websites similar to yours.
To get started, we would like to point out several components that have to be changed to benefit your website and achieve the goals you’re hoping for:
Home Page
A solid call to action attracting email subscribers from which a slow burn relationship will be formed.
About Us
We suggest taking new team photos and action shots of people working. These are great and far better than stock photos which unfortunately litter your industry.
Testimonials
Listing clients is great, testimonials are better but giving it some context with a case study is amazing. Adding a range of case studies to your website will serve you for years to come.
Our Services
The best way to add them to your website is by splitting them into sections named after your main services and adding the matching headers. The headers we had in mind were the following: 'Bookkeeping', 'Saving Tax', and 'Audits'. By doing this, potential clients will search for solutions to their problems in a fast and effective manner.
Call to Action
We will strategically place a contact form at the bottom of each page, offering the possibility to email any question a visitor may have in the process.
Process
What exactly working with {{company_name}} looks like?
What is required of your clients?
How often do you keep in touch with them?
It is absolutely worth detailing your process in advance, as it gives your potential clients an insider look into your company and sets the right expectations.
The more detailed your processes are explained, the fewer questions you will receive through the contact forms.
Pricing
Asking for a price estimate is probably one of the most common questions you receive from potential clients.
In our experience, giving an indication or a brief estimate of your pricing is definitely worth it. It will reduce the number of inquiries and increase the quality of the website. If you are uncertain about disclosing that information, we can give it a test run and evaluate the effect it has on the website.
Resources
In this day and age, it is vital to share advice and articles on your website, preferably in a blog form. It is the best way to win potential clients over and introduce them to your work techniques.
To get started, we would take a look at the “Frequently asked questions” from your targeted clients and use them as a resource for the content topics.
All of our websites are made to look perfect no matter how you access them. Computer, Tablet, or Phone – it always looks great!
Our Process
What to expect working with us
At ARGENTARIUS Digital Services, we offer a comprehensive approach to web development. We look at your brand and business, your values and ethos AND your target audience, in order to deliver a web solution that not only visually engages, but ensures you achieve your business goals.
To keep things simple, and everyone collaborating effectively, we find this is best achieved in 5 Simple Steps:
1 - Design Interview
We need to determine who you are, what your brand voice is and what your market space is looking for.
Think of this as a “two-way” research drive, to determine not only how best to represent your value, but to explore the values your core audience is looking for and help you resonate with them.
2 - Design Presentation
Like choice? We will deliver three design concepts for you to select from.
Naturally, there will be a common theme, but we strive to think outside of the box and come up with different solutions for you to review and discuss with us. This brainstorming and comparison part is often where the best ideas come from! Once a clear option has been chosen, we will move forward with any adjustments you have noted.
3 - Website Content
Now that we have your design decided on, we can begin to construct the website. Our copywriter will be in touch with you to help put your ideas down through the “voice” of your new brand.
Any photos attempted to use on the website will have to be gathered at this stage.
4 - Website Build
Using everything we have gathered, we will start building your website. Once it is done, we will present it to you and go through the details and finishing touches following the objectives we have originally set.
Any amends are made at this stage.
Step 5 - Launch
The launch process has to be carefully considered. We need to ensure email addresses will not go down, the site doesn’t have any downtime, any old links are re-directed to the new pages, as well as several other things.
The following process has been done by our company many times before, and we have developed a detailed checklist we are working with, that has not failed us once.
We make sure to launch the website late on Friday’s, as that gives us a chance to iron out any possible issues. You can sleep well knowing we will be on-call over your launch weekend to ensure everything goes according to plan.
Case Study
We increased ABC Legal's conversion rate by 87%... in just 4 weeks!
Success speaks for itself
ABC Legal Company contacted us when they needed to re-brand and build a new website. They have been around for over 20 years and operated with the same marketing material they started with. The only new business inquiries were from referrals. They had a website but it hasn’t been touched in over 10 years.
ABC Web Solutions suggested to re-brand the company. Same name, but new logo and color scheme, along with a new website with an emphasis on bringing in new leads.
Results
Four weeks from launching the new website, they have gone from one new lead a week to an approximate of nine every week. On average, they were converting one in five inquiries.
At the current rate, it means that instead of getting one new client every five weeks, they are bringing in one new client every four days.
Here is what ABC Legal Companies’ Managing Partner had to say about this experience:
“The new website has surpassed all my expectations and paid for itself fully
within the first few weeks. This is incredibly exciting!”

The amount involved = £200,000... In profit!
There is the amount of money that is directly deposited from one company to another, and then there is, what we call, “The Real Cost”.
This is the cost of our service, factored into the cost of you doing business, then working out what’s left.
During our initial conversation, we asked you what the average transaction value was and the rough amount of profit in each job.
Using that as a starting point, this is the real cost:
You’re currently getting five leads each month from the website and based on that, traffic is about a 0.5% conversion rate. You’re also converting one in five leads into clients.
Our guarantee states that we’ll get it to 2% which will be twenty leads each month.
Your average deal is worth £6,000 p/a, which with your new monthly lead count and assuming your conversion rate stays the same, is four new clients each month at £18,000 p/a increase.
With this laid out, it’s clear that by the second month, your investment will be paid back by annual recurring revenue.
By the end of year one, you will bring in £202,000 of recurring revenue.
Our Guarantee
Probably the best deal you've ever seen...
Like most business purchases, there is always a level of risk and uncertainty in the success of a project.
We want to completely remove that risk from you and place it on ourselves. Put simply, if we don’t live up to our promises…you don’t pay for our product.
Sound fair?
Here’s how it works
The entire purpose of this project is to increase the number of new leads your website generates.
Branding is something you are aiming towards, but it is also required to achieve the level of success we are both demanding from the new site.
So, here is our guarantee to you:
“If your new website doesn’t generate a minimum of a 2% conversion rate (compared to your 0.5% currently) then you don’t pay for the website.”
That is a 400% increase from your current results.
Guarantee Terms
The guarantee is only valid providing you follow our guidance and our Terms & Conditions. Other than that, we don’t achieve – you don’t pay.
You can’t beat that.
If you would like to join us and become a client,
follow the simple steps below.
We would be delighted to have you.

Summary
You, {{company_name}} are hiring [our company] to design and develop a website for the estimated total price outlined in our previous correspondence.
As our customer, you have the power and ability to enter into this contract on behalf of your company or organization. You agree to provide us with everything that we need to complete the project, including text, images, fonts, and other information as and when we need it, in the format that we ask for. You agree to review our work, provide feedback, and sign-off approval on time, and are bound by any deadlines that we set together. You also agree to keep to the payment schedule set out in this proposal.
We have the experience and ability to perform the services you need and we will carry them out in a professional and timely manner. we will endeavour to meet all the deadlines set but not responsible for a missed launch date or a deadline if you have been late in supplying materials or have not approved our work on time at any stage. We will also maintain the confidentiality of any information that you give us.
Details of the Work
We will create designs for the look, layout, and functionality of your website. This contract includes one main design and two opportunities for you to make revisions to the final design. If you are not happy with the design at that point, we will provide you with an additional quote for extra design work needed. If instead, you wish to cancel our agreement, you may do so and we will retain the initial payment for the work completed to date.
HTML/CSS Layout Templates
We will develop using valid HTML5 markup and CSS3 for styling. We will test all our markup and CSS in current versions of all major browsers including those made by Apple, Microsoft, Mozilla, Google, and Opera.
We will also test to ensure that pages will display visually in a similar — not necessarily an identical — way in Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 for Windows as this browser is now past its sell-by date.
We will not test these templates in old or abandoned browsers, for example, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, 5.5, or 6 for Windows or Mac, previous versions of Apple’s Safari, Mozilla Firefox, or Opera unless otherwise specified.
Text Content
We are not responsible for writing or inputting any text copy. We will be happy to help, but significant work on our part will result in a charge above and beyond the original price. This will not be done without your approval of an additional quote provided in advance.
Photographs
If needed, you will supply photographs either in digital or printed format. If you choose to buy stock photographs that price will be added to the initial quote. Stock photography will not be purchased without your written approval.
Changes and Revisions
The estimate/quotation prices in this proposal are based on the time we estimate we will need to accomplish everything that you have told us you wanted to achieve. If you do want to change your mind, add extra pages or templates, or even add new functionality, that won’t be a problem. At that time you will be provided with an additional quote for the extra work.
Technical Support
As agreed, the quote provided includes the installation and set up of your site on your server as well as the implementation of Google Analytics. Updates and management of that server, plus any support issues will be up to you.
We do not offer or include technical support for website hosting, email, or other services relating to website hosting. If you do require help with anything beyond the design and development of your site, we will be happy to help.
