F A Q ’s

Frequently Asked Questions

But, isn’t WordPress free? Couldn’t I just do this all myself?

Sure! But consider this….have you ever walked into a house and said, “This place is just wood, drywall, paint, wiring, plumbing and carpet. I’ll just build my own house”.

You could… but it would take years of study, and effort, and mistakes to understand all that goes into making a house that won’t self-destruct. Not to mention making it weather-proof, comfortable, up to code, safe, attractive, and functional.

So the questions you need to ask yourself are, “Can I take the time to learn all this stuff on my own? Do I even want to? Will that time spent help or hurt my business? Will I be able to keep up?”

Wouldn’you rather learn what you need to know to control, manage, customize your site, so that you can spend your time doing what your actual business is about?

We can help you get “web-savvy”, and quickly. Not Geeky…You can learn enough to do what you want, when you want.

How does the training work?

When we turn your site on, your , it will be ready to go to work just as it is, right out of the box… the only thing you absolutely need to learn is how to add your personalized content.

We work with you to show you the how-to’s, and are always available should you have questions.

You’ll be amazed at how EASY it is to:

• Add text, images, audio, and video to your site
• Add new pages, articles, blog posts, etc. at any time
• Upgrade the functionality of your site, without knowing a lick of computer programming

Also, When you sign up for a website, you’ll have access to the Video Training Library, and to us.

Hey, that’s what phones and mail is for. Send us a message, and I’ll help you get unstuck.

Why should I have you do this?

To be blunt, We’ve seen so many, many people have websites handed to them without any training, very little support, and no idea of how powerful a site can be when you know how to use it.

Call it greed, call it laziness, call it incompetence, call it smug self-righteousness,…. many web-design firms will take your money, but not provide the goods. You’re pretty much on your own.

We’ve seen LARGE companies that get more help from the employees teen-aged kids than they get from their expensive guru-web-design firms. ( Sorry for the little rant, it’s amazing how bad some of these guys are.)

As a website owner, you can ignore your website (to your own detriment, of course). You can have a site without ever really learning how to make the most of what you paid for.

That’s like having a telephone, but not knowing how to use it, and therefore not using it. The BIG difference is…your website is a much more powerful tool than your phone could ever be, and will become more and more important with each passing month

Here’s the bottom line:

Your Site should MAKE YOU MONEY, NOT JUST COST YOU MONEY

Your Site should be an EXCITING and FUN PART of your business.

We don’t want to see this bad stuff happen to you. We’d like to see you have a website that you are in control of, comfortable with, and that you can make work for you and your business from the first day.
