Quickly create your site using website builder
 .
What should he do? He had to start from scratch. He had a backup
but only a little money. He liked the price of the free hosting
services but they had limitations. Some of them provide a
website builder.
Many insisted on placing advertisements on his site. Others
gave him templates that were OK but not just what he wanted.
Time was critical as he needed to get the new site up like
yesterday! He was not tech enough to do the whole development
and FTP thing and manage a new hosting environment and the
words HTML and PHP gave him sleepless nights.
 
I suggested that he either ante up the funds to get a site
developed professionally or look at a standalone web site
builder called A4DeskPro. It is simple to use and easy to
edit and comes with a bundle of free templates as a starting
point.

 The
main feature that he liked was that he could keep the site
on his own machine for editing then move the new version up
to the host using the built in File Transfer Process software.
I am an experienced web developer and like the control of
managing the code myself using purpose built editors like
Dreamweaver or DiDaPro. These cost. His comment was that he
preferred to work on his business not in it. He saw no return
on the time spent starting from scratch for each site and
developing it. He wanted to get his sites up quickly so he
could spend his time promoting them.
I agree with him as that is where the money is.
The web has matured to a point where a beginner can create
a reasonable site that is attractive and clean and have it
up and running in under a day. The answer here is obviously
a simple to use website
builder program to create and edit the site and transfer
it up to the host. Sites built using Flash are fast to create
and attractive. They offer good user interaction.
I am now seriously rethinking the way I approach my web business.
My friend is right. Time spent developing sites that are just
perfect is not time spent making money. That is the true reason
for the business. If he can get a site up and selling within
24 hours and increase its performance by off-site SEO then
he has a very valid point.
I have downloaded
A4DeskPro website builder and have a couple of sites up
and working. Is good.
