This is a creative company. We focus on creating interesting, SEO-friendly content for the web and creating a social media strategy for using Pinterest. We are not an IT department, nor are we massive website-building gurus. That said, we *can* create a simple website for your small business at a very reasonable price *and* send you talk-to-me-like-I’m-a-5th-grader instructions on how to use it. Websites do not have to be complicated things. You already wear too many hats as a small business owner. You do not need to add anything complicated to your plate!
We recommened a WordPress website. It has been the go-to choice for bloggers, internet marketers, and small business owners for over 20 years, which is like an eternity in our fast-paced world. Plus, it’s free and Google likes it.
We do not recommended sites like Wix and others where you build a site on their platform. The reason is simple: if and when you outgrow that platform and decide to leave, your website stays there. All your hard work stays there. There is no way to ‘move’ it. You will have to start all over or continue to pay their monthly fee. Worse yet, some unscrumpulous sites willl even retain control of your domain name, if you purchased through them. Ugh! Stick with WordPress. Did we mention that it is free?!
- This is exactly what it sounds like: a one-page, static website that is just your placeholder on the internet. If you decide to build something bigger and better in the future, you can expand on this or it can just be used to let people know you are a legit company with an online presence.
