Web developers, you know what I’m talking about here. You saw the trend from over a year ago, high end sites are few and far between, not enough to make a consistently viable business to buy a Range Rover from.At least not in this market.
Then you “discovered” the market of small and medium sized businesses that want to get online but don’t have the big budgets. So what do you do? And this is where the web development purists and the capitalists collided over a single word – “templates” .It’s now 2008 and many have gotten over themselves and are flowing with the trend evidenced by the proliferation of template sites and also web based services that offer do it yourself options. I ran across this one last week that I like, it’s called Sitekreator. I love their pitch “Instant Site, Just Add Your Content.”
With Sitekreator you can get a free more than basic website, one that’s labelled personal(US$7.95/mth) where you can create a personal site, organise images in a gallery, post opinions in a blog and select from a wide variety of design styles; and the others business(US$19.95/mth)which gives you professional site designs, discussion forums,blogs and newsletter options, web forms, search engine optimisation; and power(US$39.95/mth) which allows you access to the trendiest web designs, blogs, forums and RSS feeds, you can also build communities in member areas and have lots more tools.
I like Sitekreator, as it is a service that can give Caribbean small businesses a real option to do it themselves, pay nothing to a little, so they can take to get online now.
