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. Also blogs are a cheap website design trick.Why? because they are easy to use, easy to setup, and easy to upgrade to into an elegant look and feel when you are ready.
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 about 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 hosting 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 as compared to a 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

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.
