Welcome to the CheapWebTech Web Design, Business Consulting, and Accounting Tips Blog
Hi, I’m Chris Hughes, founder of CheapWebTech and a lifelong entrepreneur. Over the past 20+ years, I’ve built and exited multiple successful businesses, many generating millions in annual revenue. Along the way, I’ve learned the importance of mastering the key pillars of small business success: having a professional online presence, developing strong business strategies, and maintaining financial clarity. My Web Design, Business Consulting, and Accounting Tips Blog is where I share what I’ve learned to help small business owners like you thrive. Whether you’re looking to improve your website, streamline your operations, or take control of your finances, you’re in the right place.
What You’ll Learn Here
Web Design and Optimization Tips
Your website is often the first impression customers have of your business, and it needs to stand out. In these posts, I’ll share practical advice on creating fast, user-friendly, and professional websites that build trust and drive results. From mobile-friendly design to improving site speed, you’ll find actionable tips you can use today. For more tips on improving your website’s visibility online, check out Moz’s Beginner’s Guide to SEO.
Business Consulting and Growth Advice
Running a small business comes with its challenges, but you don’t have to face them alone. Drawing from my experience in building and scaling businesses, I’ll provide insights on everything from marketing strategies to improving operations and managing growth. My goal is to help you work smarter, not harder.
Accounting and Financial Management Insights
Managing finances is one of the biggest pain points for small business owners, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Here, I’ll cover essential bookkeeping tips, cash flow management strategies, and the benefits of working with a fractional CFO (like me!). These posts are designed to give you clarity, confidence, and control over your numbers.
Why I’m Sharing This with You
I started CheapWebTech because I know how tough it can be to compete with larger businesses when you’re working on a small budget. I’ve been there myself, starting my first business at 18 with no resources and having to figure out everything from scratch. Now, I’m passionate about helping other hardworking entrepreneurs succeed. I believe small businesses are the backbone of our communities and economies. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, they employ nearly half of the private workforce in the United States.
This blog is my way of giving back by sharing the tools, strategies, and insights that I’ve gained over two decades in business. Everything here is written with small businesses in mind—because I believe we’re the backbone of our communities and economies.
