Important Pages for Your Virtual Assistant Website
A professional Virtual Assistant's website should include several basic elements.
Our Services Page. Include all of the different services that you have to offer, breaking them into project categories and sub categories. Use bullet lists to highlight the different tasks that you can take care of for clients and consider creating a new page for services that require additional explanation. You're not just telling them what you have to offer, you're making suggestions for tasks that would improve their business so write all of this information with the potential client in mind. About Me Page. Include a good quality picture, business contact information, and a business biography that highlights why you are the expert Virtual Assistant for your niche. Avoid the typical family and hobby remarks, clients want to know more about you as a business person.
Rates Page This is an area where you will want to speak plainly and not be shy about declaring your prices. Most clients want to see it upfront and do not want to be asked to email for a quote. Include your hourly rate and explain your retainer rate options. Include your rush projects rate and explain what a rush project situation might be. Include your payment policies, do you want to be paid in advance, etc. Contact Information. Be sure to offer potential and current clients as many ways to reach you as you are comfortable with. Your business email, a contact form if possible. Even if you do have a business telephone line you will want to include business telephone hours and time zone info to prevent your phone from ringing at all hours. A fax isn't usually needed in our internet based worth, but if you have one include it. A business mailing address on the site lends credibility as well. Some virtual assistant's like to provide customer service through Instant Messengers. Testimonials. Testimonial highlights can be peppered through your website but also have a page devoted to them. A testimonial has the greatest impact when it tells the pleasing results of your work and includes the full name of the person who gave it. You might have to ask for testimonials and that is ok. Most clients will be happy to provide one when you request it. Portfolio. If you offer services such as website design, logos, spreadsheets, etc., it is important to showcase the work you've done. Devote a page to some of your work. If you don't have any client work to show off, simply prepare some examples of what you can do. Do a sample website up just to show them what you can do.
