What Web Developers Don’t Tell Their Clients

What Web Developers Don’t Tell Their Clients - who order a website.

After your website goes live, only a handful of people will visit it.

Trust from visitors won't come immediately. It takes years to build a website’s reputation. This is why it makes little sense to invest heavily in an expensive website from the get-go. You should start simple — with a basic landing page.

Even if you think you need a full-fledged e-commerce site with product listings, shopping carts, and payment options — it’s not necessary. People are wary of sharing their credit card information on unknown websites. Building a dedicated e-commerce platform doesn’t make sense until you've gained significant trust.

In fact, visitors might not even register or log in to your website. So, investing time and resources into user authentication systems might not be worth it in the beginning. Instead, start with a simple, clean website — a digital business card, with minimal interactivity like a contact form or a chatbot to handle inquiries and orders.

However, having an effective online presence doesn't necessarily mean owning a website. Popular social media accounts with a well-established reputation can do the same, and often even better. Think about it: Airbnb for property rentals, Amazon and eBay for goods sellers, Uber for transportation, Upwork for freelancers, and Coursera for education.

But what if there was one place that brought all these services together?

There is: 🅸🄽🄵🅾️🄼🅴🅃🄺🅰️. The idea behind this platform is to simplify the process of getting listed on the map for everyone who wants to — not just businesses like cafes and restaurants, but also individuals offering services (translators, tutors, taxi drivers, local service providers) or even those with announcements or declarations. Unlike other platforms, 🅸🄽🄵🅾️🄼🅴🅃🄺🅰️ connects you directly to your customers through a peer-to-peer model, meaning you don't pay commissions on your sales or transactions.

On 🅸🄽🄵🅾️🄼🅴🅃🄺🅰️, you can post announcements, create offers, and make promotional proposals or declarations. It’s a simple, visible way to advertise services or make announcements to everyone nearby — perfect for new entrepreneurs. Best of all, there's no need for registration or login. You create and manage everything using a Telegram bot. The bot allows you to place or remove your marker on the map, showing if you are actively accepting orders.

A Cool Fractal Effect: Site-In-A-Site

When you add the Infometka location widget to your site, something cool happens—you'll not only embed your location, but you'll also display information about your site within the widget itself. Think of it like a "site-in-a-site" effect! Visitors to your location widget will see your website's details, creating a fractal-like experience, making your site even more engaging and informative.

link a custom bot to handle orders and notifications

This system offers the ease of social media posting, but unlike social posts that quickly become irrelevant, your 🅸🄽🄵🅾️🄼🅴🅃🄺🅰️ stays visible and ready to accept orders. You can even link a custom bot to handle orders and notifications. Your status on the map signals whether you're actively available or have finished your orders, and further communication happens directly via messaging apps.
Below is an example of an 🅸🄽🄵🅾️🄼🅴🅃🄺🅰️ for a taxi service accepting orders.
