What sort of website are you
We all have a website in us but, what type suits us depends on our market, business and ethos.
Are you a Webspert?
Do you know your blog from your CMS, your ecommerce from your auction site? if not perhaps you should consider the following.
If you want to write little and often and have a particular slant on life that is perceived by others to be quirky, fun, unusual or informative then you are most definately a blogger so need a WordPress or Blogger site and have it personalised to suit yourself.
Then suddenly your site is a destination and has gained popularity. You can sell stuff on your blog, and do loads of things but, eventually as you site grows you begin to find limitations creeping in and the costs of hacking, mods and upgrades start to have an effect on your ability to effectively run your site.
You will likely decide to move up to a Content Managed system [CMS] which although technically more difficult to manage will give you everything you had in your blog but, will additionally handle all your other needs as well.
You will suddenly find that full blown ecommerce shopcarts are a breeze, your auction or classified ad system can now integrate smoothly and that unwieldy comment section that you were struggling with has now suddenly morphed into a fully fledged forum with loads of activity.
Websites are all about you, your business and your shopfront onto the internet high street. It can start as a small backstreet blog, but quickly end up as a popular destination for savvy internet users. Mostly it can still be quirky, fun, unusual and informative but, now it can also make money, sell goods, services and expertise.
How you perceive your site today is not how it will be in a years time. So, make sure your Hosting company can provide you with support and services to meet all of your needs today and tomorrow and when your blog goes shopping, we will be there to make sure it all works out well for you and visitors continue to beat a path to your door.
