Escape the Web's Desert Island
Too many organizations get marooned with their own websites, unable to update their sites without the help of outside contractors or overworked tech staff. Big Medium answers the SOS signal.

Message in a bottle(neck)

In theory, the Web allows organizations to share their messages with the public quickly, inexpensively, effortlessly. In reality, however, many organizations rely on outside contractors to maintain their sites, even for the smallest edits and updates, which means it can take days, weeks, even months to get important changes made to the website.

Don't let your company or organization get trapped in a technology bottleneck.

Even when an organization has internal webmasters responsible for site updates, they are often overworked IT staff who are busy with a wide range of responsibilities. As these webmasters juggle the usual workplace technology emergencies, website updates inevitably get bumped to the bottom of the list.

With Big Medium, you don't have to let your company's message get trapped in this technology bottleneck.

Are you stranded?

Here are a few signs that your company has been marooned without the ability to easily update its website. If these symptoms sound familiar, Big Medium can help:

• Your website still has much of the same text as the day it launched, including badly outdated information.
• You spend a bundle of money on simple site updates. Every time you want to update the website, you have to scrounge for extra money in the budget to hire an outside contractor.
• All website updates have to go through one person who never seems to have enough time to get to all the changes.
• You know that your site design isn't working, but you're told that it will take months to wrap a new design around the same words.
• You have to work through the night to publish important new information for the next morning because you don't have a secure way to develop the web pages in advance.
