Once upon a time you needed to spend a fortune on professional help to get even the simplest of websites up and running. If you wanted to add or edit anything, plan on some outrageous monthly invoices once the changes were made. Today's many cheap website design options make this all a thing of the past.
Once upon a time you needed to spend a fortune on professional help to get even the simplest of websites up and running. If you wanted to add or edit anything, plan on some outrageous monthly invoices once the changes were made. Today's many cheap website design options make this all a thing of the past. A website can have many purposes from simple dissemination of information (perhaps a babysitter might have a simple one page info sheet) or a complex site that sells hundreds of products internationally. Of course the babysitter would be able to get a cheaper website, but even the international company has very reasonable options available as well. It doesn't matter why you want a website, the new template based sites are your best choice for many reasons. They are affordable, user friendly, and can be as comprehensive as you want. Shopping carts that tally taxes and shipping rates and even RSS feeds can be added for less than what you spend on coffee each week. A ten page site with a fully functional shopping cart that can hold up to 500 items, payment system, and 5 associated email accounts at one leading online supplier of these services is less than $15.00 a month! For anyone who chooses not to do the original set up himself, you can have one of the staff programmers put your site up for you for only a few hundred bucks. Having this same person do the same site about five years ago could easily have cost you $1,000 or more. Changes that you make are immediately visible. Some sites do you require that you use FTP software, but it's transparent. You might need to keep hitting a button that says "publish", and until you do this, your changes won't appear. Other sites simply ask you to "save" each page as you edit, and these changes as well are immediately visible. When you maintain control, your changes are immediate. News reports, sales, and even typos will be seen right away once you save your work. These systems still use FTP software, but unlike the days when you needed to be familiar with C Panels and the use of FTP uploading and server locations, all this is built into the template. Simple make edits like you would to any document, hit save or publish, and you're done! If you are paying someone else to maintain a website, check out transferring your site to a company that offers a do it yourself template process and bring it in house or do it yourself. The transfer should be totally seamless and the new site should be identical. These companies have excellent customer service, usually 7 days a week, and plenty of online tutorials to get you up and running. Once you see the money you can save, you'll wonder why you hadn't done this before.
