Subjects - Warning: Do Not Buy A Website or Get A Web Host Until You Read This
Here is an excerpt from an actual email I received from a customer telling me about how she has been taken advantage of by a couple of web builders. Do not let this happen to you: Janis wrote: “I've had two different websites in the past but According to USFDA, a combination product is one composed of any combination of a drug and device; biological product and device; drug and biological product I wasn't happy with them. One I bought from some guy and I found out he lied to me and he was getting my traffic which I believed was coming to me. I hired another guy to build me a website. After a month he sent me a bill for $400 and the only ; or drug, device, and biological product and fixed dose combination would include two or more combinations of drug. Examples of combination products may in thing I had was one single page with a pink background that had the name JANIS in the center of the page. THAT WAS ALL. No links, no information, no nothing --- and he told me it took him 40 hours to design that. He also signed me up with an inte lude drug-coated devices, drugs packaged with delivery devices in medical kits, and drugs and devices packaged separately but intended to be used together. net hosting service that went bankrupt about 3 weeks after I wrote the check.” -Janis C. At least she only lost about $400. I’ve heard horror stories much worse than that. So what can you do to help make sure you do not get taken advantage o here is enormous increase in the number of combination products entering the market in the recent years. Combination products have proven advantages but fixe f when selecting a web builder or host? There are lots of things you should consider, and we do not have space to cover them all right here. But here are four things to watch out for. If you see any of these signs, be very cautious: #1 They d dose combinations are still in the process of convincing regulatory authority on their advantages over the single ingredient formulations. Combination pro ask you to sign a long-term or expensive contract. Companies in all types of industries may ask you to sign a contract. Contracts are part of business and it is wise to use written contracts in many situations. But when a web host or web bui ucts have become life saving products for the pharmaceutical companies who doesn’t have many innovative molecules in their product pipeline and have been inc der asks you to sign an expensive, long-term contact, you might want to take a step back and ask why. If you are having them spend a lot of time and hours doing a custom website for you, then I would expect them to ask you to sign some sort of c easingly used in the product life cycle management. Even the companies having product patents are trying to extend their product life cycle through the combi ontract. But on basic hosting or a website builder, a long-term contract is usually not necessary. If their service is as good as they say, then why the long-term contract? It may be that they know that once you start looking around, you’ll reali nation products and maximize the revenues. But the companies involved in this practice are overlooking that they are burdening the patients both economically ze there are a lot better deals out there and they want to make sure you can’t get away from them. This is not always the case. I’m just saying be aware of this possibility and ask a lot of questions before you sign your name to a deal that will and physically. They need to rightly judge the benefits of the combination products and they have to even look at the risks involved when combining the produ e a long-term soak on your wallet. Generally for basic hosting or a basic website builder, I would avoid anybody that asks you to sign a long-term or expensive contract. #2 They try to charge you thousands of dollars for a website or group of ts. Some of the combination products were well accepted by physicians while others suffered. Companies involved in development of combination products are fi websites. Now, there certainly are websites that are worth thousands of dollars. But there are also people out there that will try to take advantage of you. They get you all excited about “being your own boss” and then while your head is in ding difficulty in defining their combination products and facing various challenges from selecting a combination to marketing it. Following aspects would a the clouds counting all your future riches, they get into your wallet for several thousand dollars. Before you know what hit you, you’ve got yourself an overpriced website and a hefty credit card bill. I suppose if you are willing to pay thousa dd to the challenges in developing combination products: Which markets to tap where the combination products can do fairly well? Which combination prod ds up-front for a basic website, then so be it. But it is not necessary. #3 They try to sell you a “dream.” Here’s how it goes down: They spend all their time getting you pumped up dreaming about tropical vacations and spending more tim cts are meaningful and rational? Which therapeutic categories to select? Which Combinations can address unmet needs of the patients? Do combin e with your family. All they talk about is you making tons of money with your website instead of talking about the actual features of what they offer. In my experience, when all they have to talk about is your “dreams” of being rich, they often tions increase the patient compliance? What would be the developing cost? How to tackle the risks encountered during combination product developmen have a questionable product. What percentage of their time with you did they talk about their actual product? If they have such a wonderful website or website builder, then they should be excited to talk about all the features and benefits of t t? As combination products don't fit into the traditional categories of drugs, medical devices, or biological products, the USFDA is in the process of devel e website, and not about your dreams of wealth. Nobody can guarantee wealth in this world. So beware of people that are only selling “dreams.” #4 They do not let you use own website address (domain). You are likely going to be spending ping new procedures for reviewing their safety, efficacy and quality. Professional from academic institutions, pharmaceutical industries, health care indust a lot of time and effort trying to get your website noticed. The last thing you want to do is end up promoting someone else’s website! You need to make sure that you get your OWN website address instead of an “extension” of something else. I'll y and representatives from various regulatory agencies are working out to design the regulatory requirements for manufacture and sale of combination products use http://www.tkosites.com as an example. If you set up your website using the TKO web builder, they will let you use the domain name of your choice or, they will give you a website address that is a sub-domain of tkosites.com like: www.YOURSITE . As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de tkosites.com. Now, the sub-domain is nice for getting rolling fast and there is nothing wrong with that. It let's your website be "on the web" almost instantly. But eventually, you will want to graduate from the sub-domain and use your own domain elopment. They need to be wiser in analyzing the market trends and the regulatory requirements. Companies that provide selfless information through particip as your web address. If you use a good web builder like TKO, they will let you use your own domain name if you want to, and I highly recommend it. I hope these tips help you to have a wonderful and exciting web building and hosting experience tion in industry events and feedback to regulatory authorities would be able to face the challenges and will be successful in developing combination products
