Meet Our CEO
Ron Battiston has worked with computers almost since they were invented! A University of Guelph graduate, Ron worked with mainframes, minis and desktop computers in business, government and e-commerce. He managed computer systems and worked as a Systems Analyst and Manager and operated his own e-commerce site selling to an international market. Ron can give you an insight and understanding of computers and what they can and cannot do based on theory and real life experience. You will find that an hour or two invested this way will greatly assist you.
Sometimes its a much better idea not to learn things the hard way by doing everything yourself.
For more information or if you wish to discuss your needs please e-mail Ron Battiston Private offices in North Bay, Ontario and in Victoria BC. SuperiorWebs.com provides services in English via the Internet to locations around the world.
Meet the Corporate Secretary
Miss Marcie M. Farsea is the Corporate Secretary and is responsible for our group of companies. She is assisted by Alison Cooke and Staff and together they ensure that everything runs well and that the CEO stays out of trouble! Marcie has written an excellent book on profitable business techniques from a Canadian perspective called YOUR VERY FIRST BILLION. This book is unique in that much of the information is not available from any other source and often is the information the Man would prefer you not know. For additional details we refer you to Battiston Publishing. Miss Farsea was born in Corner Brook, Newfoundland and raised in Ontario. (Farsea is pronounced farSEA)
Innovation
We are leaders in innovation with two applications which are ahead of the curve. For content rich websites we offer a conversion service where we convert your website to a E-book.
The first model for internet content began in the dot.com phase when companies spent billions of dollars from IPO's to put up free content with the hopes that somehow they would make money. They lost their shareholder's investments and set up an unreasonable expectation in users minds that all content should be free.
The second model involved click revenues and affiliates where a percentage of visitors would click on an advertisement thus generating a small revenue which when multiplied by hundreds of thousands of visitors generated an independent revenue stream. Seems like a good idea and it is however its a bit more intricate and complicated than you might think at the design stage. This is where the big effort goes and be prepared to spend hours setting up the links. Once you complete them the maintenance is minimal and your site runs on autopilot. Again its not quite that easy and events are constantly changing. Its a huge industry all based on the simple concept that a small percentage of something is better than a big percentage of nothing! You need to re-train your greed gene to see the light here.
In some cases it would be possible to convert your website from a cost source to a revenue source while in other cases there would be no advantage. Key variables are your visitor volume and the demand (or interests) that your visitors have.
Our second area of expertise is the application of virtual staffing. Others have tried to approach this concept with cartoon like animated characters with limited vocabularies but all they are are automated cartoon characters. We are the only ones to have truly developed the concept of virtual staffing and we are continuing to develop a cross medium method of communication that has never been done before! Each situation is different.
EMPLOYMENT WITH SUPERIORWEBS.COM
All employment opportunities in our privately owned business are offered by invitation only. Those presenting unsolicited applications for employment will be added to the "do not hire list" and will be permanently barred from working with us. This is a most unusual policy which we have found necessary to implement due to the nature of our compensation package, benefits and the resulting demand in the job market. We appreciate your interest but hope that you will respect our policies in this area. Frankly, there would be applicants lined up two deep for blocks around our operations if we allowed unsolicited applications. Its an unusual policy (don't phone us we'll phone you) but it works well for us! We have a very efficient hiring system which identifies potential members of our group. We do not subscribe to the traditional method of selection via competition which involves processing thousands of applications and deciding who won't work with us. We prefer to work from the other direction and identify who we would like to work for us! I know it sounds a bit strange but -it works for us!
FAQ
1. Q Your hourly rate seems high. Is it a typo?
A. Yes it is high. It's not a typo. You get what you pay for and we do not participate in the low end of this market. Actually there are many professionals in other areas who charge more. That is our starting rate. Some jobs are more expensive. I realize it can be a bit shocking. The good news is that we also have a very affordable template based web design service which begins at only $25 per website! There are lots of other sources of inexpensive websites under $100 and here are a few on auction right now:
2 Q. Sorry I can't afford your hourly rate is there another alternative?
Yes there is. We recently purchased a website which supplies pre made templates websites for very affordable prices starting at $25 each. Its not the same as having a personalized website built for you but it is an affordable alternative that will get you up and running very quickly in a professionally designed website with a good web presence.
3 Q. I note you say you work with selected clients only? Why is that?
A. Simply a matter of available time, resources and interests. We will only work with clients who we can support and who are completely honest with their customers.
4. Q. Can you give us some free consulting time to see if we are a match for your services?
A. No. We don't do free consulting time. Sorry. But don't forget we can offer you those inexpensive template based websites starting at $25!
5. Q. What's with the ice berg?
A. An ice berg like a website can be beautiful but 90% is not in view. Its that 90% that we focus on. Our approach is that its fine to have a pretty website but if it doesn't do the job why bother?
6. Q How do I order one of those template websites?
We just purchased the website and are now integrating it into our services. The website is Elitewebsitelayouts.com. Feel free to visit it and check out the wide range of websites offered. In order to offer this very low price to you the process is automated. We will need to run a few orders through the site to see where there are any potential processing problems. The site is professionally designed to allow you to purchase the items and have them delivered to you without "human" assistance. Lets see how it works. The web designs look good and this is one alternative for getting you up and running quickly and looking good online for minimal costs.
