Affordable cannabis website design & development

It all started when Pronto Marketing’s founder, Derek Brown, was at Microsoft where he was responsible for marketing the software behemoth’s Windows Small Business Server.

His customers were mostly companies in the IT space known as managed services providers (MSPs), and he learned firsthand that their biggest challenge was the lack of understanding and time required to execute on a proper website.

So, in 2008, Derek responded to this challenge by starting Pronto and launching an all-inclusive “done-for-you” website service. The purpose was, and still is, to do website design for MSPs that gives them a professional online presence with minimal time expenditure.

Pronto helps companies in a range of industries look professional online, not just MSPs. Lately, we’re being engaged by more and more small businesses looking for help with their marijuana industry websites, which is no surprise considering:

This explosion of job opportunities is indicative of the rapid growth that cannabusinesses are experiencing; and a simple Google search of weed-biz keywords like cannabis industry (173 million results) and marijuana business (231 million results) reveals just how competitive the green rush has become.

Stakeholders from both plant-touching and ancillary marijuana businesses are looking to build websites in abundance: websites for cannabis cultivators, websites for cannabis distributors, websites for cannabis dispensaries, websites for cannabis lawyers, websites for cannabis grow lights, packaging, accessory products… They know that to stand out from their competition, a good website partner is paramount.

The thing that MSPs find most attractive about Pronto applies all the same to marijuana businesses (let us resist the temptation to call them marijuana service providers!). It is the idea of an all-inclusive website service that’s “done-for-you.”

When you partner with Pronto, you’ll barely have to lift a finger beyond providing your company’s brand brief, color scheme, and logo. Then, we’ll design and develop your new WordPress website in house using an industry-leading page builder. And, eight weeks later — after you’ve approved the design prototypes and overall functionality of the website — you’ll be the owner of a brand new online homebase, hosted, maintained, and supported by Pronto.

In other words, thanks to the operational efficiency that we’ve developed over 14 years — and the fact that you won’t have to shepherd a flock of web-design freelancers whilst running your business — Pronto will make your website easy.

Operational efficiency is not just some flimsy buzzword we use to describe how we do things. It’s where we’ve always hung our hat, and it’s why 2,000+ small businesses have chosen Pronto to build their websites and stick with us long term to support their websites.

Dependability, convenience, and value for money are what make done-for-you preferable to do-it-yourself. But in case you find those concepts a bit abstract, let’s get down to brass tacks:

1. You can be as hands-on or hands-off as you’d like during your website-design project.
2. You’ll have a dedicated Project Manager overseeing everything, always there to guide you on the branding, design, and content for the site.
3. Your website would likely cost around $10,000 with other vendors or a posse of independent freelancers, but Pronto can get you started for as low as $5,420.

Don’t let the affordability fool you. Because we’ve been doing it for so long, we have all the tools, we have all the specialized personnel, we’re super efficient, and it’s all done in-house. This means low cost and high quality.

More than a thousand MSPs have called on Pronto to make their websites easy for them, as have hundreds of professional services firms, healthcare clinics, manufacturers, gyms and fitness businesses, and many others.

Today, as attitudes and legislation toward marijuana change, the weed biz may be on its way to becoming the next big thing for Pronto Marketing. Do not miss out!
