I'm Opening Up Shop...Free 400 Word Article

13 replies
I really need your help. I have an opportunity to do online business with two local area shops and I'm not technical at all. What is the best and fastest way (other than to have someone do it for me!) to build a website? I have access to XSitePro, Frontpage 2003, etc. and am willing to buy another website creator if it is easier. Please tell me what you would do. The person with the best answer, in my humble opinion, will get a free 400 word article. Thanks for your help.

    What kind of site do you need? How fancy?

    I have used www.freewebs.com and then upgraded. It can do for a quickie site.

      Use a Wordpress blog- Gives you many functions that customer will love
      Easy to update
      Lots of great themes
      Customer can put specials up daily, weekly.
      Can monetize so customer can make some extra money
      Google loves and much more you can do

      Get hosting with cpanel. Wordpress can be installed from there

      Be sure to sign your customer up for Google maps. This will help
      get them listed on the front page of Google for any local searches in their
      keyword niche.

      It's Not Over Till I Win!
      Do you see the glass half empty or half
      full? The difference can mean success or
      failure.
      The simple things seem to be the most
      effective and most overlooked.

    If you're able to get clients that quick. If I were you, I'd handle the sales portion and just outsource the website. Create your own offline business. Just remember to add your commissions to the top of the quote.

    Wordpress...

    or...

    Weebly.com - build a site there, then Save As from your browser, and just upload the resulting files to your own hosting server, making sure you're not violating any copyrights along the way.

      I thought weebly provided an option to export your website anyway - but unless your site needs to be unique I second that recommendation.

      If it needs to be unique then I'd use XSitePro and just give it a go.

    Barbara as you have XSP2 I would use that, easy to use and comes with some great templates. You can format it for mobile as well.

    XSP, imho. Other solution: Outsourcing and let someone build a site.

    By the way it is NOT that hard to make a sharp looking wordpress site.
    Especially if you can install it right from your hosting control panel.
