I'm hearing this more and more often from my clients, and that is why I now offer so many ways for you to make this happen.
Look at what all you get!
- Your own website using CMSMadeSimple, an open source content management system.
- A completely customized template for your web site and store, with up to 6 custom made background images, ready for you to add all the pages you want.
- A suite of useful extras, including a text-sizer (so your visitors can easily make the text bigger or smaller if they wish,) and a social bookmarking tool (so that people can easily bookmark your site.
- Your own RSS feed, which you can easily update using the CMS News module.
- Hosting for one year (my Business class package)
- Up to 100 email addresses, plus all the other extras included in the Business hosting plan
- Up to six hours of phone or email support to help you get used to using your new site. (Note: Hosting comes with its own support, which is unlimited and does not count toward your six hours.)
- Payment options! Get it all up front, or go monthly.
If you can use a word processing program, or even type a little bit, you can edit your own website, whether it's a simple blog or a complex site with many pages. More and more companies and individuals are turning to Content Managing Systems to provide the flexibility needed to keep up with rapidly changing information in a cost-effective way.
What is it?
It's software that I install on your web host. You can add and edit pages right from your browser. It's almost as simple as typing out an email. You can add pictures or multimedia files, change the way things look, and the site keeps up with it all. To provide the look and feel for your site, you can choose from the pre-made templates I sell, or have me design a custom one for you. Check out the box to the right for a look at all you get with a custom package.
Setting up a CMS site usually costs a bit more than setting up a static website (the kind where I make pages with no simple way for you to edit them,) since there is more work for me to do initially. Over the long run, however, it saves you money by letting you make many changes for yourself. I also believe that a CMS site is more lucrative for a business or non-profit, as you are able to show your products, services and events to your site visitors in a timely way, and they are more able to find the information they are seeking.
Every business or group has needs that are a little different, so while my package will work for most, if you are looking for something a little different, I will be glad to discuss your site with you and come up with a proposal specifically for you.
