Building a New Website – What Do I need?

August 13, 2010 By Staci Leave a Comment

Try to code websites in HTML. Setup all styles in CSS, no tables.

Homepage has at least 3 unique paragraphs about you or about your website’s main topic

Minimum: 3 pages total: Home, Contact and Portfolio (or detailed page of website).

Pick your keywords. RESEARCH!
Register a domain name and find hosting.
Suggestion: Use GoDaddy for domain name. Use MomWebs.com for hosting. Or ReliableWebs.com.
Are you moving your previous site? Use FTP to drag and drop your new files on your new hosting/website.
Sign up for Google Analytics and verify your website. Wait one week and start to search for your keywords within Google, Yahoo and Bing – are you listed and where? If you are record that in a spreadsheet – and then check again in two weeks to allow search engines to find your site and for Google Analytics to gather more data.

Top 5 reasons for using MomWebs! #3 Do you know your Hosting Support by First Name?

July 12, 2010 By Staci 9 Comments

I started my online quest about a year ago venturing into my service-based website and about 6 months later started to venture into a new business ideas and that means — I needed another domain, another website to be hosted, new theme/design and more.

What I didn’t realize is as your websites/domains grow – so does your hosting plan (or should I say your hosting plan needs to grow with you!) As a business owner – you can’t have limitations – limitations are a blocker – and you have to do whatever you can to bypass any limitations/boundaries. So what I knew was I needed a bigger plan with my then hosting company, which was GoDaddy. At that point, I was hearing lots of good things about MomWebs and why MomWebs is highly recommended by many work-at-home moms. What I did not see was the reason why I should be using them instead of GoDaddy. The reason came to me through experience, let me explain my story a bit for you by telling you my top 5 reasons for using MomWebs.

1. Price Savings when you pay for one-year in advance! This is WHY I use MomWebs!

2. Backups Included in the hosting plan – with GoDaddy you have to pay for this service and with MomWebs, the backup is available from the previous day! This is WHY I use MomWebs!

3. SUPPORT! Need I say more? Right now if you haven’t used MomWebs – listen up – You can email them to help switch one domain plus website files to another – there is a fee but they can help you with it. Let them do the work for you so you can keep doing what you love – creating your products and working for your clients. When you first switch to MomWebs they will take all your current domains/website files and transfer them for you and MomWebs will provide you with the little guidance that you need along the way. And…

MomWebs is willing to help the small business owner to get the technical things done when you need it. And I know my hosting support by first name, Do YOU? Just another reason, WHY I use MomWebs!

4. TRUST!! I feel I can trust them to help me with my websites and this is why…

I feel that I was able to build a personal relationship with MomWebs before I even paid them 1 cent. Let me tell you why…

I was helping a client out with her website and like me, she was using GoDaddy. We were trying to get things moved around and found out what we can and can’t do. I asked these same questions to GoDaddy and at the time, either I had a customer service representative that really had no clue what they were talking about OR they just didn’t care. If I am paying for a service and find out that the company doesn’t care about me or help me when I notify them – then I look for a new service. MomWebs = Good Customer Service, This is WHY I use MomWebs!

5. Everything that makes up MomWebs: Reliable Website Hosting! Look what your account would include once you switch to MomWebs:

Every hosting plan includes:
cPanel control panel		24/7 tech support
Unlimited email addresses		Spam filtering
Unlimited databases		Web Traffic Statistics
Unlimited FTP accounts		.htaccess, PHP, Perl, CGI
Fantastico auto-installer (install WordPress for free!)		Web Based File Manager
