DIY Website

For small businesses who want a DIY website that is inexpensive, comes with thousands of templates to choose from and can be customized with your own images and content, we offer an easy DIY website called, My Website Builder that is available free with any advanced or premium web hosting plan. My Website Builder is ideal if you are a business that wants to publish information about your products and services. There is an option to upgrade to ecommerce for an extra $50 a year. 

We also have the another DIY website product, Parallels Site Builder  - it is a bit harder to use, but does offer multilanguage support, more pages, extra functionality like blogs, eshop, and a logical one or two tier website. The eshop allows you to create an online shop for your business. 

A major failing of many other DIY websites is that they do not rank well on search engines. 

 When comparing DIY websites, an important consideration overlooked is search engines. Many DIY websites compromise search engine ranking by the use of programming, flash or unfriendly URLs. Both our DIY websites can be optimized for search engines and we provide all DIY website customers with a free article on how to edit title tags, keywords, page descriptions and file names for SEO (search engine optimisation) and make sure that the DIY website software is configured properly, so that all of these SEO fields are enabled.

DIY websites also come with full server allocation, email accounts and all the functionality you expect from a web hosting account. Many DIY websites on the market pack in as many people on the server as possible, often sharing a one database, and as a result page loading is slow and the website becomes more unusable, with larger numbers of website visitors.

Your website will always publish under your own domain name on every page. Unlike some other DIY website providers, we do not use subdomains or alternative domains because this is a huge compromise and other providers do it, because it is cheaper.

Why are search engines important?

Search engines are the new yellow pages and the vast majority of traffic to any website comes from search engines. Not all websites are created equal and as a general rule, HTML websites rank better on search engines. Both these DIY websites publish the webpages that you create as HTML pages and therefore, if you take the time to edit your keywords, page descriptions, title tags, url names and content - you can do well on search engines. We will give you detailed instructions on how to edit these attributes for search engine optimisation.

Advantages of DIY website

If you are looking for a custom website, see custom website plans.   DIY website builder is a good first step in website design but it is not the same as a custom built website and should not be used to replace a CMS system or for companies who have very specialized needs.  A DIY website is like buying take away food, it's quick and cheap and because many website designers produce similar results to the DIY website templates, in many ways a DIY website can have comparable results. But if you are comparing it with a hand coded website, developed with CSS stylesheets that has been custom built, it is like comparing takeaway food with a top restaurant quality meal.

If you can work within the limitations of a DIY website and choose a template that mostly fits your needs, you can achieve very satisfactory results. However, if your needs are very specific, then you require a custom design either in HTML or utlizing a content management system. Not sure, contact us to discuss your requirements.

 Advantages of our DIY websites include  

• cost effective solution
• many templates to choose from - especially beneficial if you do not have graphics or logo developed
• update your website at any time by logging in to your online management.
• edit title tags, keywords, file names and page descriptions
• ftp access to html files, so you can upload and link to WORD, pdf files, video and audio files
• add your own images and text.
• Change your content as often as you like
• Change website template as often as you like
• No programming hassles - click and publish

   Disadvantages of a DIY website

You do need to learn how to use it and every computer application has its own quirks. Whether you are using a CMS system or a simple DIY website, you need to invest time to learn how to compress and resize images and how best to present the information on your website. When you pay for a custom website, you are also paying for the developer's skills and experience to design you exactly what you want. Your choice of colour, menus, site structure, etc are not restricted by a DIY website software application.

If you find that you just don't have the time to learn how to crop/compress images properly or you want someone to help you set up scripts (like Paypal cart) to work with your DIY website, you can certainly request a quote.
