What's your web needs?

So you want a website?

There's a lot of ways to go about creating a website, but the biggest problem people have with this is knowing when they can't do it on their own anymore. Most people I've run into have always thought that WordPress is okay for any site. I really need to stress this. WordPress doesn't count as a good website creator. It is made ONLY for blogs and SOME e-commerce sites. It is by no means a one-size-fits-all solution. You don't see Microsoft running off of WordPress do you? NO, you don't! They knew that WordPress wouldn't cut it from the start.
The tell-tale signs that you need a professional are a little obvious, except for a few that are pretty subtle.

1. You are entirely lost when it comes to working on your website. This usually happens when you run into a website tutorial that has A LOT of jargon you have no clue what they are.
2. You find that you're sending more time on your website and modifying it than you do with important tasks needed for your business.
3. You're site looks like a two-year-old ate crayons and pooped on your computer screen.
4. You're spending just as much money on software as you would for a web designer.

Now there are a lot more signs that you're not capable anymore to take care of your website as well as your business, but these are the major ones. Next I go over what site would suit you best for your general needs.

HTML/CSS/a little Javascript

This is one of the most basic sites that you can get, but it fits the most people. It's your basic listing on the internet that you exist. This will definitely bring in some leads and interest into you business. This is usually associated with a blog on a separate site or with WordPress. The most basic of plans with the major web hosts will suffice your web site needs.

The above and PHP/MySQL or Ruby

These are server side languages that make more complex things like e-commerce and a back-end for adding content possible. These are complex things to understand, so don't attempt this at home. (lol) But if you try to do e-commerce without a professional knowledge or an actual professional coding this, then you're going to be sending out a lot of letters to people having their identities stolen because your server gots haxored.

The works (Flash, Dedicated server(s), etc. and all the above

This is the most expensive class of websites, and the hardest to code and understand. If you're considering this kind of website, you need to have your own IT department first.

The prices for each go as following

1. HTML: $300-$1000
2. PHP: $750-$3000
3. The Works: $3000+
