For eleven years now M-Tech has been wowing people with incredibly low prices on the latest laptop technology available. Our competition has always charged more than us. Why is this?
1st: We just decided to make less profit and make the difference up in volume.
2nd: We have a much lower overhead than our competition. For example, while others are investing $5,000 to $10,000 and more for initial web site designs we have steadfastly refused to spend your money on things that look nice but do not get you a better laptop. Let's face it: in a retail situation, every dollar we spend is one you have to pay back to us by way of higher consumer prices. So that fancy $10,000 website is costing you several extra $$ out of your pocket.
The Ugly Website Revelation
Does this mean that we here at M-Tech Laptops have no desire for a beautiful website that screams "buy from us"? No, not at all. It just so happens that M-Tech only employs people who know and understand laptop technology. We here at M-Tech have made an astonishing revelation: apparently, when someone is consumed with a love for mobile technology, it also somehow steers them genetically away from any hope of being artistic or having anything that remotely resembles web design talent. This of course was shocking news to us but somehow was also a comfort. We could rest easier knowing that every employee here just couldn't design a website to save their lives and it wasn't their fault. It's just some genetic malady. Kind of like having a beer belly. I don't know why it is this way, but it isn't my fault.
The Website you see today when visiting us was designed by someone much better than us. they won the contest you are going to read about. While initially it was just beautiful, we here took control of it and started entering the information we felt you needed. Needless to say it now looks as if someone ruined a perfectly good website. The problem is we don't want to sell you a laptop just because our site is great looking. We want to overload you with useful information, educate you in mobile technology and leave nothing left for you to have a question about. Sounds great, but all this information requires us to to work on the site ourselves and then before we know it we have the most informative site on the web and one of the ugliest. So we encourage you, to read the contest below and se if you can design a website that looks good and yet our technology junkies here cannot screw up. Think your up to the task? We doubt it because you have no idea how adept we are at laptops and how inept we are at something remotely resembling artistic talent.
So in celebration of this scientific discovery and in response to your groans of dismay over the eclectic look of the M-Tech web site (mostly from those of you who have talent). M-Tech is announcing (again) the "Your Website Sucks" contest. Entrants to this contest must design a FrontPage, a showroom page, and a laptop page template and some type of page we can just cram all sorts of useful data and helpful hints into.. All entrants will have the work judged by your peers (since it sure isn't going to be us - we design websites that suck). We will tally the votes and the winner gets to have us use his/hers work...free of charge! Wow, isn't that great? Come on now! You didn't expect us to pay for this? Recall why our website is so ugly to begin with? Cheap management! Low Laptop prices! We pass the savings on to you and all those other great catch phrases that really mean "if you don't want to pay more for your laptop than we can't spend more for the website"
OK, now that your starting to get over the shock of giving your time and efforts away for nothing, let us make this wonderful gesture. Whoever is the lucky person to win the contest will have his companies name splattered (we use this term loosely) all over our website in recognition of your talent. While we know that money would be the preferred award, let us remind you that M-Tech is in the top 10 percent of trafficked websites. (according to Alexa) If you have ever wanted to get some recognition of your talent or perhaps build a resume for future clients (that do pay), this would be a great opportunity. Thousands of unique visitors a day will see your work. Some may want to send you money for you to do the same for them. Or, if your work is really really good, maybe they will just want to send you money because of the awesome talent you posses. Yes, we doubt that as well, but listen: did we mention that this will help us keep our prices the lowest in the industry? Think of the favor to mankind you are doing by helping us assure future generations of laptop users that affordable technology is available to them - all because you gave of your time and talents to the M-Tech cause. This could mean a Nobel Prize for your work toward bettering humanity. (Can we stop now? It getting deep and starting to smell.)
So if this interests you (and why wouldn't it?), then get to work in designing a website look that you think will say "buy from us" to future purchasers of laptops.
Send us an e-mail at jerry@mtechlaptops.com with your desire to enter and we can fill you in on the preferred HTML editor for you to use. Or you can convince us why we should change to yours. Please put "website contest" in the subject line. Don't put "sucks" in the subject or message body or the spam filter will nail you to a piece of plywood in the parking lot and throw darts at you.
As we receive the entries we will post them on a special portion of the website. You can then have all your friends visit and cast votes for it or someone else's website design.
Thank you.
