Registering your domain name was your first step, but
without a website your potential Internet customers
will not be going anywhere. Step 2 is to develop a website
so that your potential customers can find information
about your business online when they type in your Domain
Name.
Many
businesses assume that getting a website has to be an
expensive, time-consuming, and perhaps difficult endeavor;
therefore, they continue to put off having a site built.
It doesn’t have to be that way though, in fact, developing
a simple Internet presence so that you can utilize your
domain name can be easily done in just a few minutes.
There are many products on the market that allow you
the ability to build a website with little or no previous
experience.
The
STEPSTES
Web Builder by Expiry Corp. is a perfect
solution for businesses and individuals looking to place
vital information (contact details, a description of
their business, products, and services and even photos)
onto the Internet under their registered domain name.
Out of all the web-building products on the Internet,
this one is definitely the easiest to use.
Rob
Roy, President of Expiry Corporation is extremely excited
about this new product. “I love our STEPSITES product.
Anybody can build a website and it only takes minutes.
STEPSITES takes the excuses out of getting an online
presence because it is so simple and cost-effective.”
Other
than ease of use, another aspect that sets this product
above its competition is the price tag. STEPSITES
is only $29.95/year and includes a 1 page “build-it-yourself”
webpage, hosting of the page for one year, and a POP
Email Account utilizing the customer’s domain name (you@yourdomain.com).
Perhaps
the only drawback to the STEPSITES product is that it
is only available in a single page form. Though Roy
said they are in the process of creating a multi-page
STEPSITES product that should be available sometime
soon.
While
there may not be as many style choices as some of the
other Web Building tools on the market, the end result
is a professional website that does not look like it
comes from a template. Adds Roy, “sometimes when people
are given too many choices the decision becomes overwhelming.
We decided to create a smaller selection of very professional
designs and color combinations [than the competition]
to compliment the ease-of-use of our product. There
isn’t anything difficult or mind boggling about STEPSITES.”
In
comparison, Homestead (another web building product)
offers multi-page do-it-yourself packages though the
price is considerably higher than STEPSITES 1 page product.
A 10-page website without an email account starts at
$11.99/month (or $139.99/year). The price goes as high
as $51.99/month (or $419.99/year) for a site with an
unlimited number of pages and 10 email accounts. While
Homestead offers hundreds of template choices, and the
use of hundreds of computer graphics, building the website
is more difficult than using the STEPSITES Web Builder.
For those looking for a simple Internet Presence, a
website with Homestead may be too big and/or confusing.
Register.com’s
website builder is even more difficult to use. While
they do offer a nice selection of template designs at
fairly reasonable prices ($4.95/month for 5 page site
or $14.95/month for a 20 page site), it is somewhat
confusing in building concept and layout.
“I
signed up for a website at Register.com and couldn’t
get past the first page. I wanted something quick and
simple and while I’m sure my site would have been really
nice, it was too complicated and time consuming for
me to continue. I’ve since switched to a one page website
using the STEPSITES builder and had my page up and published
in minutes,” says Brenda Shermak who built asksue.com
using STEPSITES.
The
STEPSITES builder looks just like a form. You type in
information you want on your site, format your text
using simple word processing features, and insert your
photos. You then choose a design style, a color combination
and click “publish”. Your site is then live on the Internet,
instantly.
For businesses and individuals looking for a quick,
simple, and economical way to utilize their domain name
and provide customers with vital information about their
business, products, and services, the STEPSITES web
builder is the best all-round tool for creating a simple
online presence.
The
STEPSITES Web Builder
is a product of Expiry Corporation, a Domain Name Provider,
Website Design, and Website Hosting Company. It is only
$29.95/year and includes the 1 page
website, hosting, and an email account (you@yourdomain.com).
