This week I’d like to talk briefly about how and why you should edit your own website. This post is not about DIY websites. (Read a good article about those here.) DIY websites often cause more hassle than they are worth. What I am talking about is hiring a professional to create your branding, website and then train you how to update it!
Here in Summit County, many of the local businesses do 2 for 1s during the off season. This is a way to generate business for themselves during a relatively dry period, as well as a time for the locals to enjoy the many perks of living in lovely Summit County. This past week, I wanted to go out to dinner. I looked at 5 separate restaurants to see who had 2 for 1s or what mud season deals they were running. Not a single website had any info! I am sure some of these restaurants had mud season deals but not one advertised on their website. I could have of course called up the companies. Did I? No, I went somewhere else.
So how do you edit your own website? WordPress. WordPress is a content management system that allows you to edit your website without any coding! We will build your website within WordPress’s internal structure (this part requires coding) and build it so all you have to do is log into wordpress to update posts, blog, change advertisement banners, add products, add images and galleries or news updates. The possibilities are limitless and will add immeasurable value to your website and its effectiveness!
But I’m not very good with computers you say? Do you use Facebook? Twitter? Google? It’s no more complicated than either of those and functions similarly and there are scores of online tutorials!
Secondly, we will train you how to use it. You will receive a word doc with step by step instructions on how to make any changes to your site. You will also receive a phone or in person 2 hour training session! Lastly, we provide support for you should you run into any problems or have any questions. We will make sure that you are comfortable editing your website. Here at KL Creative Design, we like happy clients!
