WordPress or Not to WordPress

WordPress or Not to WordPress that is the question? Is it more nobler to pay high website development fees to promote my business on the we web or should I go with WordPress and build it for a fraction of the cost?

Because of the Great Recession people have looked for more economical ways to get the same thing done if not better. Businesses have had to increase the value of what they sell. Many companies have went out of business because they have not adapted to the changing face of our economy.

Building a Website – Step 3

hardwork

In Step 1 of this group of posts we looked at planning. Step 2 was the actual construction of a website or blog. Now in Step 3 we are going to look at the hardest/never-ending part of having a website or blog.

If you have not guessed. Step 3 involves all the work after the website/blog is up. Just because you have a presence on the World Wide Web means the work is over. In fact the work has just begun.

The third step in building a website is, without a doubt, the longest and the most involved. It takes the fine skills of a brain surgeon and savvy of as the best crime scene investigator. I am talking about;

  • Promoting – No website or blog can just go up on the World Wide Web and get instant recognition. It takes work, hard work to get large numbers of  people to see it. Then we go back to Tweaking to make it more appealing to our target audience.
  • Fresh Content – Unless your website is weight and measure conversion table, the only way you are going to get to come back to your website is by having periodically update content. I am talking about daily, weekly, and at the most content that is update on a monthly basis.
  • Re-evaluate – Unless you want your website lost out among all the millions of websites that are in cyberspace, then you are going to have to be constantly re-evaluating the affect you website has on your target audience.

Then you Tweak, Promote, Add Fresh Content, and Re-evaluate it all over again.
