The Value Of OnLine Website Builders For the Start Up or Newer Business

So you are planning to start a business, or you have just started a business.

Congratulations! This is a big step!

Now comes the need for a website. Just one of many tasks you now face, but unless you have a background in building websites, well it could prove expensive. Some companies charge thousands of dollars, and take months to design and build your website for you. That’s OK, because you have loads of cash to spend on that right? Likely not the case. You need to carefully watch how you spend every bit of your money. So here are your options:

1. Spend thousands of dollars, and wait months for your “professionally custom designed website” to be designed and build for you. You may also have to spend a great many hours explaining to the development team exactly what your needs are, and then they will need to meet with you several times after that to get you to answer their various questions, some of which you will have no idea even what the question is, (like they are speaking a foreign language) never mind coming up with an answer.
2. Go to a discount web hosting company, and sign up for “web hosting“. They will sell you “domain name” (which is the name of the website for example www.mycompany.com” or some variation on that theme), this will be an annual expense. They may give you a “C Panel” which is a hard to use program to manage your website and domain name and hosting with. I wish I could explain it better, but I can’t. I had one once, but I could never actually figure it out, even though they seem to be an “industry standard”. Oh, and some companies (and only some), once you get all this figured out and have built your own website, with some software you paid hundreds of dollars (or more for) (more on that in a minute), well, they cut you off when your website starts to get customers, with a lame excuse about your having used too much “bandwidth“. This leaves you and your customers high and dry, while you attempt to resolve matters with their technical support, which may be located in a far way country. Best of luck, you may need it. Oh, and be sure to figure out how much capacity of bandwidth your plan allows with that webs hosting company, likely you will need to upgrade to a more expensive one later, and maybe even pay extra fees or penalties for exceeding all sorts of limitations. Buyer beware.
3. Now about actually building a website with website design software. Well you can buy any number of computer programs for a few hundred dollars, and spend a long time learning by trial and error how to use them, or perhaps even sign up for some night courses or online courses. Over time (months or years) you may even become good at it! Of course you will have to take a break from your business while you are doing all of that.
4. Another option is to use an online website builder such as WRSBuilder offered by WRS Web Solutions Inc. from their website at www.wrsbuilder.com . This is very easy to use, and was made with the non-computer geek (the rest of us people) in mind. All of the costs are very clear, so you do not get hit with hidden costs later on, because you did not understand the technical jargon when you signed up. The Technical support staff are very patient, and do not assume you are a computer programmer. There are cheaper ones around, but it is said that “you get what you pay for”. Do some comparison shopping if you like, but be sure to educate yourself on the features and costs of each, so you are not comparing apples and oranges. The basic cost is US $19,99 a month (billed once a year in advance), plus a one time set up fee of $US 4.99 If you want your own domain name you can buy one for $11.99 or you can use the one which is provided for free, which would look like www.yoursite.wrsbuilder.com.(In order to use the 5 free e-mail accounts which come with the account you will need to buy a domain for US $11.99 a year, and which would not include wrsbuilder in the name.) This includes unlimited use of the website builder software, including the Dashboard. The Dashboard is the set of easy to use menus which work like a word processor, with which you can quickly and easily build your website with. You can even change you design at anytime without loosing any of your work. Every website also comes with an optional online store, what is also called e-commerce, included in the price. This feature alone is worth the entire price and other companies would charge much more for that alone. Remember what I said about comparing “apples and oranges”. This products is also very fast and easy to use, (in case you time is important to you, the old business saying is “time is money”), not to mention the high reliability.

In conclusion, once you have compares apples with apples and oranges with oranges, the WRSBuilder website builder software from WRS Web Solutions Inc. may be your cheapest web solutions, and best decision. It might also save your sanity, not to mention your marriage! There is a free 10 day trial, so you can try it out now without having to commit to anything, and without having to give a credit card number (unlike some company’s “free trials”, and if you sign up, you do not have to “upgrade” to a larger much more expensive package later on (or sooner than later). I hope this article has been both educational and helpful, and wish you all the best in your business!
