Self-Managed Web Sites - Full Installation And Setup Service - FAQs

Exactly what kind of service are you offering?

We know that most small business owners face a real dilemma when it comes to growing an online business presence - they know they need an online presence in order to survice, but they are simply too busy trying to run their own business to spend time learning "web design and online marketing stuff" like SEO (Search Engine Optimization), HTML coding for creating and editing web pages, etc ...

At the same time, most small business owners would like to be able to access their site whenever they need to make simple changes like publish new content, news, announcements, add, change and delete text, etc ... without having to wait around for the person who looks after their web site to get back to them, or pay a fee every time a change needs to be made to their site.

Our service solves this dilemma.

We set up a dynamic type of web site that allows you, the business owner, to spend your time marketing, promoting and growing your business, instead of getting caught up in all the technical stuff.

We set everything up for you so that all you have to do is tell other people about your business by adding simple text articles, news, reviews, announcements, and so on. Each time you add new content and press the "save" button, all of the technical stuff required to make your pages attractive to search engines and get them indexed quickly in Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc ... is automatically done for you behind the scenes.

You would need weeks, if not months to figure out how to do all of this stuff. We have spent years learning how to make this process work, and we can save you a whole lot of valuable time and frustration, by building you a site that works for you and your business right from the word "go", and we can have it completed and delivered in 4-5 working days.

Do you build custom web sites?

No. if we did that it would blow out the price we are currently charging. We will build you a site that works for your business using a default template that we have modified to make it fully optimized for search engines, and that has proven to work extremely in terms of navigation and providing content to your visitors.

By starting with a default template that works, you can start establishing an online presence very quickly and very affordably, while your competitors are still waiting around for weeks or months to get their sites up and running. You can see what the default template looks like by visiting our fully functional demo site.

The good news, is that you are not locked into using this default template.

Because we build your sites using the extremely powerful and flexible WordPress web publishing platform, you can create a unique look for your own site very quickly and easily, by simply choosing a professional theme from the more than 800 unique free designs that are currently available, uploading the theme to your site and selecting it with a couple of clicks of your mouse.

The WordPress publishing platform is also very flexible. There are currently over 5,500 plugins you can add to your site to extend its functionality and most of them are free.

We suggest you start off just with the site that we will build for you, which already comes with many excellent functional features, including rotating customer testimonials, visitor polls, contact forms, etc ... and then add more functionality as your site requires - things like opt-in forms, e-commerce, forums, and a whole lot more. We will send you regular updates via email where we review new features and functionalities that will help you automate and grow your business online, and show you how to use these to improve your bottom line.

Who hosts my website?

You do. We will install and configure your site in your server, but you have full control over your hosting, your server, your site and your files at all times. This is great if you:
  • Want to make custom modifications to your site.
  • Want to set up or edit new email addresses.
  • Want to upload your own custom themes and plugins.

If you need hosting, then please click here for our recommended hosting solution. We use this provider ourselves and we recommend their service. Their support is highly responsive and even their entry-level hosting package meets all of the server requirements for running a self-managed site / business blog on the WordPress publishing platform, so you don't have to worry about a thing.

If you already have an existing webhosting service and it meets the server requirements, then please make sure to go through the ordering process correctly, as you will need to specify the installation option you would like us to perform for you (i.e. keep or replace your existing site, add your new site on a subdomain or new domain).

Will these self-managed sites drive new visitors to my site?

Yes they will, provided you follow the simple plan we will share with you in our 'step-by-step' training.

One of the things that makes these sites so powerful and our service offering so unique, is that we will set up and configure several components and processes in your site to automatically notify the search engines every time you publish new content to your site.

We will also install, set up and configure detailed analytics for your site, so that you can understand exactly what is happening in your site - where visitors are coming from, how many people are visiting your site, what keywords they are using to find your site, what pages they visit and how long they visit for, etc ...

We will then show you how to use this information to increase the number of visitors to your site.

Once you start using the site to grow your business, we will then show you new ways to drive even more targeted visitors and potential customers to your site with ongoing training emails and information describing how to apply a range of proven methods and strategies to improve all areas of your online business.

What kind of support or training do you offer?

The first thing you should understand, is that these sites are not built by "web designers" - they're built by someone who specializes in building automated online businesses that work 24x7 and run at a profit.

What this means for you and your business, is that rather than just getting a "nice-looking" expensive web site that might look very impressive, you will be getting a powerful online business marketing tool that requires no special technical knowledge to run, that can help your business rank well in the search engines and attract new visitors and customers to your site, plus ongoing training about ways to grow and run your site more profitably.

In terms of the training you will receive, we have built a complete 'step-by-step' online training site with video tutorials, checklists and clear, plain english instructions and documented processes that will help you every step of the way. Just plug into the training site and follow the tutorials and in a couple of hours you will be managing your site expertly and growing your business online with great ease and confidence.

Additionally, the information you will receive via our regular training emails and updates comes from experienced and successful owners of sites just like yours. We understand the challenges and problems of doing business online are we are committed to providing you with excellent support and advice every step of the way.

Why is your service so cheap? Most website building companies charge a whole lot more than you do

There are a number of reasons why our site-building service is priced fairly inexpensively.

First of all, we use a powerful, open-source web publishing platform that is FREE to use, so there's no cost to purchase the software technology.

Secondly, we use a system to build your site, where we have already:

  • documented every step of the site-building installation, setup and configuration process,
  • customized the default templates, and
  • pre-assembled all of the components that go into building your site

The efficiency of having a system, plus the fact that, as explained in an earlier FAQ, you can choose from over 800 professional FREE designs and easily and completely switch the whole look of your site with just a click of the mouse, means that you don't incur incur additional costs like web design, which often requires many hours spent going to and fro between client and designer, debating little details that may not have any significant impact on the profitability of your site / business.

Thirdly, we take a completely different approach than most web developers. We build you a fully functional business marketing tool that is ready to go to work for you from the minute you login and start to tell other people about your business. We then show you how to analyze your results so you can address and improve only those specific areas of your site that will have the most significant and immediate impact on your business.

Since your site is built on a very powerful and flexible platform, you only need to spend money, time and effort adding functionalities to your site and growing the areas of your business when needed (i.e. when your market or customers demand it!). If you understand and agree with our approach, you will immediately see why we don't need to charge you a lot of money to impress you with unnecessary, flashy web stuff.

The fourth reason why our sites provide your business with incredibly powerful functionality and value for money at a relatively inexpensive price, is because we believe that if we remove the initial price barrier for getting you to take up one of our entry-level service offerings and we then deliver on the results that we promised, we may be able to sell you other services and solutions later on as your business grows, plus get your referrals. Like many good businesses, we would rather grow and work on more exciting and more profitable projects with a few select clients that really appreciate what we have to offer, rather than to have to go out everyday and start the process of looking for new businesses to sell our services to over and over again.

Reason #5 for offering our self-managed site-building service for such a low price, is because we are realistic when it comes to understanding the current economic climate. Small businesses are getting hit really hard from all sides at the moment, but even when people ease back on their spending, businesses can't afford to stop selling their products or services, or they will go out of business. The solution is to look for smarter and more cost-effective ways to keep selling. We are offering you such a solution. A self-managed web site or business blog that costs very little to set up, literally almost nothing to run and that can have such an impact on helping your business attract new customers and make more sales is a terrific opportunity that you can't afford to miss. We want to get this opportunity into your hands right now and we want to make your decision a no-brainer, so we can both benefit, despite the tough economic climate.

Once the world begins to recover financially and the economy starts to improve, we will probably reassess things and raise our prices. For now, however, you have the opportunity to pick up a real bargain for a fraction of the price of what the service is really worth, and get a powerful tool that you can start putting to work to help grow your business right away with years of online marketing expertise already built-in for you.

What if we don't want to manage the site ourselves?

In the training tutorials we show you how easy it really is to not only have full control over the content, look and functionality of your site, but also how easy it is to keep your site updated with the latest versions of the software, plugins, etc ....

Since no technical skills are really required to manage your site, you can outsource or delegate most tasks to just about anyone in your business, someone in your neighbourhood or local community, a school student, work-at-home parent, etc ...

In fact, we've already anticipated this, and have included a section on how to outsource the management of various areas of your online business in our training material.

The bottom line, is that even if you are too busy to manage your site, you don't need to pay someone with specialized skills to do the work for you. 

Since most businesses today need to have an online presence just to remain competitive in the market place, it makes sense to choose a web site solution where you can either manage it all yourself, or pay non-specialized people to manage it for you.

Do I need to have my own domain name?

Yes. You will need to own the domain name for your own site.

If you already have an existing domain name and your hosting provider meets our server requirements, you don't need to do anything else. Just order the service and provide us with your hosting account details so we can install and set up your site, and we will take care of everything else for you.

If you have an existing domain name but your existing server does not meet the requirements, you will probably need to change hosting providers, or set up an additional hosting service for your self-managed site and reassign the domain name server settings to point to your new server. We can help you redelegate your domain nameserver settings. Also, if you need hosting and don't know where to go, the service we recommend for most businesses meets all of the server requirements and prices start from around $5 per month for a hosting package that is more than enough for the needs of most small businesses.  

If you need hosting, please click here for our recommended hosting solution.

If you need to buy a domain name and don't know where to go, we recommend using GoDaddy.com. We buy all of our domains through GoDaddy. They offer excellent domain name searching facilities and domain name management services. They are also very competitively priced and one of the better-known domain registrars.

Can I change the look of my site and/or add more features to it after it is built?

In fact, if you take a look at the training video below, you will see how easy this is to do and how much control you have  over your site's look and functionality.
