Here are
our personal favorites, why we like them, and links to
their sites.
-
Web design software - Microsoft Front Page
2003
(Still available in stores but about to be replaced
by Microsoft's newest version. We like it
because it's easy to use and relatively inexpensive.)
-
Domain names -
GoDaddy.com
-
This company charges a very small amount for owing a
domain name for a year. They also offer
specials on a regular basis if you get on their
mailing list which is important as you'll find that
it's a good idea to own several websites.
-
Hosting -
Ciplex.com
They only charge $50 a year for hosting, unlimited
email access and basic support. As stated at
their site, "This hosting package is sufficient for
90% of the websites out there. Most hosting
companies oversell on what someone needs."
(We also recommend this company if you're looking
for a website that is more sophisticated than what
we can provide for you).
-
Shopping cart
-
Kickstartcart
Do you need a shopping cart for your site? Depends
on whether your site is used as an advertising
vehicle or a direct method of selling your product
or service. If you only have a few items to
sell, perhaps a Paypal account is sufficient.
If you're truly growing a professional business,
you'll soon need a professional style shopping cart.
A shopping cart will handle taxes and shipping fees
for you. It will take credit cards 24 hours a
day, even when you travel, even when you sleep. Your
transaction will go to the credit card processing
company and in about fifteen seconds, you’ll have an
authorization. It will email a confirmation to
whomever you want to ship the product to without you
touching a thing.
Kickstartcart
offers all the features you need for a thriving web
business. Designed by internet marketing
specialist Tom Antion who struggled with many
inefficient payment systems over the past fifteen
years, it has everything you need at a price that's
affordable. Also available with this site is
video direction by Tom Antion with step by step
instructions on how to make this amazing program
work for you. Click on the link to read more.
