FEEL THE POWER!
It would seem like there are only two choices for a web site…. Paying somebody to do it for you, at a high cost and being forever at their mercy, or using a proprietary “site builder” being stuck with doing everything yourself.
SiteBuilders, (WIX, SquareSpace, GoDaddy) even the free ones, promise a lot, but turn out not to be very friendly or flexible, and leave a lot to be desired. And since they are proprietary to the host, the only way to escape is to start all over…. “under construction!”
But what if you could have the best of both worlds?
The better answer is WordPress, with thousands of design themes, and tons of add on “plugin” functions, and most of those are free. That’s why we use WordPress. We can install your WordPress, you select a design theme and we can maintain it for you, or we can share the work with you and be on call whenever you need help or something special, or you can handle it yourself after our free instructions. You’ll find that the actual costs much more reasonable. And don’t worry, you won’t have to wait weeks for us to get things done. In some cases, we can get it going for you in a matter of hours.
From the inside, WordPress looks a lot like Microsoft Word, with most of the familiar functions for BOLD, italics, bullets and so on. WordPress is very popular because it’s both easy to use and it’s very versatile. Actually, that’s probably why over a third of all the websites you see are created with WordPress. You would be surprised to see how many famous sites there are!
Think of WordPress like a store mannequin. Your information and content form the mannequin itself, and then we dress it up with your choice of a design Theme. You can totally “fit” the design with just a nip and tuck here and there. There are specialized themes of all kinds, for business consultants or restaurants, for real estate and shopping carts, for professionals like dentists or photographers, or for just about any purpose you can imagine. Like the plugins, most design themes are free, literally thousands of them, many of which can be upgraded or customized for a reasonable price, but there are others available at very low cost that come with custom support by the author
We install WordPress on our server almost instantly and at no charge. If you like, we can provide personal coaching to show you how WordPress works, and we also have free online video classes to take you step by step at your own pace, with short lessons that are easy to understand and follow along. We’ll create a Developer space so the construction work goes on “behind the scenes” until you’re ready to make it public. (No “Coming Soon!” or “Under construction”)We take care of maintaining the security updates and patches for you so you don’t need to worry about checking each day. We also protect you with daily automated backups.
If this sounds like what you need, then we’re here for you!
