If you want to start working from home, then it is potential that you will need some kind of web site. But you might want to stay away from the high costs of a professional designer. Might you still get a web site?
Yes, you can get yourself a site for your own work from home scheme. There are a lot of DIY web site tools, but I do not really rate masses of these. For those wanting to get an internet presence quickly and straightforwardly, then blogging is the answer?
Not convinced? Well, the best site tools have everything that you need, including:
* simple to update via content management systems
* professional templates for the design of your website, free to download and straightforward to activate
* a load of added features to include, via plugins, for ample of extra functions
But isn't a site just for blogging?
But, surely a site just means that you can then merely keep blogging about your products? Well actually no, with the best blogging software you could add a range of pages to your website, with a hierarchy of pages if you want to add stacks. Then, you could add website posts on top of these, which is another great benefit.
What is the best blogging software?
So, which is the best blogging software to use? Which should you be using? Well, my recommendation is WordPress. If you are slightly technical, then you will be able to sort yourself a domain name and suitable PHP hosting with a MySQL database and upload the latest version of WordPress.
Does all of that sound foreign to you? Do not worry - only look round for a host that offers straightforward WordPress installation. You might pay a touch more, but with a press of a button or two, the entire web site will be created for you in WordPress.
Customise WordPress
Then, start working on your web site! Select a suitable theme that matches what you want to sell and has a good navigation structure.
If you are promoting just a small handful of products then you only need to create a page for each and link to every page from the main navigation area. This should happen automatically if you are careful picking your theme. If you need a load of pages, then create high level category pages and then create the product pages as sub pages for these. Again, with a decent theme, all of this will be managed for you, or you might just talk about the products in the category pages and link to them manually.
Wordpress is the best
WordPress is marvelous for quickly and simply building your own site. I do not know of an easier to use tool available on the market, it beats all of the DIY web site tools that I have ever tried. Plus, because it is a blogging tool, it has all of the important blog tools built in, which means that you website might also include a blog. This is indispensable for the ultimate success of your weblog.
So, find yourself a domain name, buy some hosting, activate WordPress and customise it and you have your own simple to build site!
