Have Courage: You CAN Build Your Own Website
11 years agoThere are many wonderful CMS tools out there. We personally, have a bias towards our own. As far as do-it-yourself website building, there are options for any variety of skill level. We’ve discussed the importance of knowing what you want in your website before you decide to build it. With constant change in our world’s growing technologies, it’s pretty clear that building a website no longer needs to cost an arm and a leg. There are alternatives to hiring someone to build you a site…because….with all these technologies available…you CAN build a website yourself!Â
We just wanted to point out why building your own site is a great idea, and why you should consider it. In fact, we’ll give you 5 reasons why!
1. It’s Cost Effective
You don’t have to invest hundreds, or thousands of dollars into a website, to have a great website! Many CMS tools are free to use. Often, companies offer a free version of their prouduct to familiarize yourself with the tools (ie: yourwebsite.squarehook.com). If you want to redirect a domain you’ve purchased, CMS tools can run as low as $10/month. This often includes hosting, which makes it a deal that is hard to pass up.
2. You Can Work At Your Own Pace
Not sure what you want to put into a certain page? No worries! Is there a programmer hounding you for your website content? Not if you’re building your own site. If you hit a website builder’s block, you can take a break and get back to it when your ready. There’s no rush. If you hate a page you put together, you can delete it and start fresh. You move as quick as you’d like.
3. You Have 100% Creative Freedom
When you use a CMS tool, you can do whatever you want to your website. You don’t have to call a programmer to fix your content. You can do it yourself whenever–wherever–with–WHOEVER. You are the ‘who’ in this scenario. You won’t get pushed into a design or theme that you don’t want.
4. 24/7 Support
SquareHook is always available to answer questions about editing your website. We pride ourselves on our chat and email submissions. If you become stuck, we’re here to provide help you when you need us. We also encourage checking out our SquareHook Help Center for useful diagrams and guides to creating the most epic website of all time.
5. It’s FUN and EASY
Who doesn’t get a little personal satisfaction building something of their very own? You can play in our SquareHook CMS–adding and removing, moving and resizing, previewing and deleting…and it’s all up to you! you can dabble in our drag and drop editor and create your own online store! Customize the colors to your liking, or switch out your template when the seasons change! You’d be surprised how quickly and easily you can knock out one incredible responsive website with a few drags of your mouse. And heck-it’s pretty fun. Building your site gives you all the creative freedom in the world, and it’s all yours!
