thanks

OK now that I'm at the correct website.
It's kinda weird how the logo changes size depending if you're scrolled all the way to the top or somewhere down the page.
-
@Dashrender I think it's actually a little underpronounced. I've seen websites do that to give the viewer more room to see the website instead of a banner
-
I suppose that makes sense, I guess I'm just not a fan, nor do I recall ever seeing that happen before.

@IRJ So are you open to people like me having you run your basic Vulnerability Analysis and not bothering the site again?
-
Not sure what the slider is supposed to do here on the Contact page.

Yes, and that price on the site is a retail price, so if you resell the service you get a better price.

I was doing some testing, it should be cleared out of the cache by now.

We do not resell, so you would be getting a direct customer, just facilitated by us.

I would change the wording on this to "...Small businesses don't always have the budget for sufficient security to prevent these attacks"
I know a one-man IT shop or two who might take offense to that original wording.
Marketing. Saying the same thing as the other guy, but saying it better.Me to.
It currently says "Many small companies skimp on cyber security because of costs. " and "Small business generally have little to no security. "
This might be true (not in my limited experience, but it might be), but aren't you at risk of offending your potential customers by making the claim? Kind of "we think you're probably crap, so employ us"

You run that risk by offering the service at all. A potential customer is a potential customer because they know that they are likely crap, though.
-
I see it a bit like - you don't want to be like all the other small businesses who don't care about security, do you? So employ us so you're not.

Really? Maybe I'm not their target market.

I agree that the statement is generalizing, but no one will debate the fact that easily more than half of SMB's lack any real IT security. Another thing is there will always be holes do the dependency on vendors releasing patching and of course there is always the red team out the exploiting holes.

Exterminators sell their services to people that have need pests removed. They base their advertising based on customers that have the biggest need for their service. You may not always be over run with ants, but you want to have a service that can handle that kind of job. Whether you have a complete infestation or just need a layer barrier laid around your house you still need exterminators.

@scottalanmiller and @JaredBusch you guys see alot of SMB customers. It it a safe statement to say that most are not IT security focused?

Gods no. Security is a joke to them. I am talking to my boss about paying for you to come in to one of our clients to prove how much should be done as proof of what we have been saying.

Sadly, the client isn't inclined to believe that anymore than they believed you - and why should they? you bringing in another vendor to prove what you've been saying?
Really, if they want a real possibility that they'll believe something that client needs to go out, find someone completely on their own, give that security company as little information as possible and simply say - we want a security audit, and then see if those results come back the same as what you've been suggesting.
