How Does it Work?

​My goal is to provide simple sites for small businesses that cannot afford to pay thousands of dollars to build a site and expensive monthly hosting plans.

There are three components needed to get your site on the web.

Domain Name: Your domain name is your address on the web. Mine is PixeLineDesign.com. You choose a name, or simply use your business or organization name,  then purchase and register it through a domain registry. There are many options available for registration, but most will cost around $20 per year. You can have a free subdomain with some website or blog builders like www.pixelinedesign/blogger.com, but I don't recommend it. It's best to own your domain for the few dollars it will cost each year.

Hosting Plan: A web host is a place to store your website on the web. Think of it as renting storage space, you can rent a 5 bay, insulated and heated unit with an alarm system, or a basic 12x12 room that will keep your belongings safe and dry. For our purposes the basic options are sufficient and cost as little as $8 and up per month.

Content Management System: Known as a CMS for short, this is the software, platform, program or interface used to build and maintain a website. Think of CMS  to website building as Microsoft Word is to creating a resume. This is where things get interesting and potentially very complicated... BUT, it doesn't have to be so complicated for many of you.

I like a user friendly, drag and drop CMS that makes it easy for you to add content and manage the site once it's built.
