What the heck is a content management system? |
 | Content management websites allow the user to add or edit content right on the website. Just click, edit, and publish a professional site with no technical knowledge.
. |
| How does this work? |
| Easy Website Builder is a web based software that allow you to edit your website right on the page. After you log in, you'll click an edit button which will turn your web page into a Microsoft Word-type editor with a full control panel to build your content.
 |
| Why would I want a website that I can edit myself? |
| For starters, you'll never have to choose between having an outdated website or forking out cash for a high-priced web developer. Think of all of the things you could add to your site if it were simple to edit... news about a sale... an upcoming event.... or hundreds of other reasons.
. |
| I don't have sales or events, or anything new happening with my company. Why would I want to change my site? |
| You are probably building a website to be appealing and useful to visitors. Imagine if you spent $1000 - or even $100 on a website and you noticed after looking at your stats that 90% of visitors never clicked past the first page. When you can edit your own site, you can try different images, layouts, or text until you get the visitor reaction you want.

| Well I can just get a hosted site for under 10 bucks a month that's pretty easy to use, what's different about this? |
| We've got hosted solutions for under 10 bucks a month too so we have no reason to talk you out of using one. The difference is that Easy Website Builder is actual software which means that you own your site. When you use a hosted solution it's quicker to set up and usually comes with lots of neat templates, but your website is just a rented space, built on someone else's software.
. |
| A website has to be hosted anyway, why would it matter if my site was built with my own software instead of renting the software from the hosting company? |
| The biggest difference is that you are the owner of your website and it's completely portable. You'd be surprised how many people seek out our software solutions because their host went belly up and their entire hosted website disappeared with it. With Easy Website Builder, all of your data is stored in your own databases and can be extracted and moved to another host if need be. You may also feel more of a sense of pride when you own your site instead of rent it.
. |
| What is the downside of Easy Website Builder compared to a hosted solution? |
| The initial set up and installation process takes a little longer and is a bit more complicated. With a hosted solution, you click a few buttons and start building your site. This is because with a hosted solution, all of the host's software is already installed. Easy Website Builder also doesn't come with as many pre-installed templates as a hosted solution. However, we've got great package deals that solve these problems for you. In the end, you'll have your own software and a custom design that's original and not a pre-packaged option.
. |
| What is my site going to look like? |
| Every site looks completely different - it all depends on your style. Some people choose to have us build a custom design based on idea or a color scheme built around their logo. We often have special package deals that include a custom design. There are 5 color schemes built in that you can use to accent your content. These designs are unobtrusive and allow you the freedom to add your flair within the pages. This entire site was built with one of our basic color scheme templates.

| What kind of hosting does the software require? |
| You'll need a Windows hosting plan that supports ASP.net and SQL Server. Host with us for only $14.95 a month and get your domain name and first month of hosting free - as well as 20 free personalized email addresses. |
