Website Basics with Celebelle
I Need a Website!
Besides learning code and software, there are essentially two ways to get your business or project’s website off the ground:
1. Hire a Website Developer
2. Use an Online Website Builder
Both of these options have pros and cons. A website developer should provide you with a robust and exciting web presence unique to your business with up to the minute SEO (search engine optimization) built-in. The downside is that it can be quite costly to harness that expertise and time consuming to get your site online. Once it’s up and running you may be at the mercy of the developer’s schedule to get minor tweaks and updates made to your site. An online website builder is usually less expensive (or even free) and you can do it yourself using a number of user-friendly templates. However, there is still a learning curve, some limitations and navigating any new software can be frustrating and time consuming, especially if you have no design experience. And, using a template can make your website look boring and unprofessional.

Why wouldn’t I just use Weebly myself if it’s so easy?
You absolutely could! However, we feel that you probably have better things to do with your time then picking your way through a new program (no matter how easy it is) and making design decisions. We do this all the time and can take the hassle out of the process for you as well as direct and create custom designs.
So, how do we get started?
First, you’ll receive a custom estimate detailing all the necessary actions and costs. Upon approval of the estimate the designer will begin with a meeting to discuss your vision for the site; e.g., how many pages you would like, what content you want on each page (see examples of content below), and what your goals are for the site. Next the designer will begin the process of designing the look and layout of your site along with creating any necessary content. Next steps – approve and publish!
Then what?
Once your site is published, your designer will meet with you to give you a tutorial on how to make your own additions or changes in the future, how to check your site statistics, and introduce you to Weebly’s robust support section. And, we’re always available to help if you need it down the line – but YOU are in control.
