Great website option for solopreneurs and small budgets
Of all of the speakers, coaches, trainers, and other small business owners I have worked with, one of the most challenging tasks is keeping the website up to date and keeping it from being too “static”.
I just discovered a great way to do websites—I had a brand new website created in just a few hours—and it’s easily customizable, affordable, and easy to maintain and update. In fact, I did it without writing a line of code.
Here’s what happened: I decided to install a wordpress.org blog on my hosting account. By the time I set up the new theme and installed a few plug-ins, I thought “Wow, this would be a great website!” so that’s what I did. I created a WordPress.org website! It was so fast and easy and more important, easy to maintain. Another important feature is that these themes come with easy to manage SEO packages that will help your website get good Google search engine rankings.
This is a great option for any small business owner on a small budget. Instead of having to call up your web guy every time you want to change a phrase or add a sentence, you can log in and make the updates to your own website without knowing a line of HTML or how to work with sophisticated software. It’s great!
Plus, because of the time involved, hiring someone like a great Virtual Assistant for example, to do the installation and setup will not cost an arm and a leg.
This is such a wonderful solution and I’m so happy about discovering it!
Visit my website and have a look around at the new site and blog. I’d love to hear what you think!

I, too, just recently discovered WordPress.org, and I love it! The plugins are great. I moved my blog from WordPress.com and created a website for a client over at WordPress.org.
What makes the initial set up much easier, is having your blog hosted with a hosting company that installs the software for you; for example, GoDaddy.
