This is your resource for information and help. Here you will find articles, reviews, and information. To help you make your own web site. Or improve your small business.

Can you create a successful e commerce web site without spending thousands of dollars? absolutely. You just need a few well chosen tools and some expert advice. We've done the leg work so you don't have to.

If you have a small business the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to get a website up and running is with a free or very low cost Blog site. You maybe saying Blog? I don't want a blog site. I hear you, but lets look at the costs, the ease of use and the hidden features that can be of great benefit to you.

First, cost there are several free Blog website platforms available. These blog sites allow you to have a Blog with the main Blog company's address first and then your Blog listed. This is sometimes too long and address for people to remember and for marketing purposes can be a pain. Most of the free blog services will allow you to purchase your own domain name or blog name and the add that to the address. The good features of these are cost, low or no cost, speed, the site can be up and running in abut thirty minutes, and ease of use.

The two we recommend for this are Weebly.com and Blogger.com (see steps for how to set one up below)

Now, the not so good features are that you do not own and totally control the content on the pages. The sites do. What this means is they can remove your Blog and delete your content at anytime. This may not be important to you but if you are running a hobby site with lots of important content pages for fellow hobbyists this can be bad news. Over night you could have all that information disappear.

So the alternative is to own your own blog site. The way to do this is to use WordPress.org, a separate organization from Wordpress.com. With WordPress.org you purchase your own domain name( your website name) and then set up the blog yourself or have some one else do it for you. It is still very easy to do it yourself but depending on the various features you want you may need some help. For instance if you want to sell products or have an online shopping cart setup this may require a bit more skilled help.

Now back to Blog VS website. If you run a small business that involves lots of updates and news then a blog is prefect for you. With very little practice you can learn to update, post and manage comments, add pictures even video to your small business blog in no time. This is a great advancement form the days when you needed to pay a web designer or web master to make even the smallest change to your website.

Another great feature of the Blog site is it allows for feed back via comments. Your visitors can leave real time feed back and comments. In the old days companies paid big time for this kind of information, now you can have it almost free in real time. This allows you to address customers' concerns and also their requests.

Now here is where a blog and a traditional website need to be evaluated more closely. If you have a business or hobby website that has a large amount of important archived material and content that your visitors and or customers need to reference then the traditional website is more what your would need.

We recommend for that case SBI or "Site Build It" we use it and it provides the best video based  DIY guide and all the features you could ever want or use. It also allows for an add on blog and a Word Press add on blog, which you could use for quick updates leaving the main website for your detailed content and information. In addition it has a very active forum of users and experts that are always there to help.CLICK HERE to see what SBI owners have to say about it.

So there you have it the best way to help your small business is to get online with information and customer centric value information. Whether you choose the Blog-site or the traditional website model just get started.
