Turnkey Websites

Turnkey web sites are the hottest selling item on the Internet today. But what is a turnkey web site, you ask? If you think about it for a moment you may likely figure it out on your own. However, we will take the mystery out of the term and put it all on the table for you. A "true" turnkey web site is sold as a completely functional, operating site with hosting and pre-installed interactive scripts for forms, shopping carts (with product images, descriptions, prices), affiliate programs, etc. All the buyer needs to do is "turn the key" and they are ready to do business.

Retail prices for "true" turnkey web sites with above average quality start at approximately $300. The average retail price is approximately $600 and often includes several months of hosting fees or a discount if you continue to host the site on their servers.

To understand the reason for the popularity and high demand for quality, "true" turnkey sites, you have to step out of the box for a moment and look back at the Internet as a whole. It is global of course. It is also not populated mostly by geeks these days. I personally remember when the Internet was surfed mostly by male computer geeks and products being sold online were for the technically inclined. Although there are still many of us geeks online, we are now immensely out numbered.

Due to high levels of stress and a personal need to be happier, the overall mindset these days is that more and more people want to be their own boss, work from home, work when they want to and as often they wish. And there are millions of genuine success stories about people who have become self-employed simply by working via the Internet.

Most of today's want-to-be online entrepreneurs know very little about web design, don't have the time to learn, or lack the ambition or patience. Many do not have the initial investment needed to purchase the software or acquire the education to produce professionally designed web sites that will reflect well on their business. Hence, the attraction and reason for the success of "true" turnkey web sites.

You may have noticed that we have referred to the word "true" several times in relationship to turnkey web sites. Of course, we did so for a reason. If you put a twist on the turnkey web site concept a bit and compare it to turning the key of your car's ignition, you will better understand that when you turn the key in your car, you are ready to roll. You don't turn the key and say oops ... forgot to put the tires on, where do I find a good car battery, or how do I put the seats in? All of the car's components are attached, functional and ready to take you on your journey. This is the same concept behind "true" turnkey web sites.

What good will it do to put the key to a web site in the hands of a buyer who has to find a place to host their site? Or they need to find products to sell, need a way to interactively communicate with their site visitors (via feedback forms, CGI scripts, etc.) before they can open for business? Remember, the majority of people wanting to become online business owners are not design oriented and have never installed scripts. They are looking for "true" turnkey websites to purchase which are of above-average quality so their investment will be successful and have a professional atmosphere, and they will reach their overall goals.

It is important to note, that many of the individuals seeking to purchase turnkey web sites have talents in other areas such as marketing and promotion. They do not want to spend time designing their site or learning the design aspects of the project. They want to spend their time promoting the site, because that is their area of skill.
