FAQ: What kind of website does your company build?

A: The sites we build are based on WordPress.  This is so you or someone in your business can update the content on a regular basis.  It’s as easy as changing text in Word.  (That way, if your store hours change, you don’t have to find the web designer and pay hundreds of dollars to change that out, right?)

WordPress is a database site, known for its blogging capabilities.  But, you don’t have to use the blog part of the site, if you don’t want to!   By utilizing the static pages in the site, you can display hours,  from your social media accounts and your show calendar.   More information is on this page: http://www.tvahcreative.com/media/web-design/

Q: What about all these “free” and “do it yourself” websites?

A: Some people want to build their own website.  If that sounds like you, find the $12 it takes to register a domain name for 1 year, do some internet research on the sites that will let you build something for free and do it!  (Basic hosting accounts, if applicable, are around $5 per month.)  The very minimum you need to have on your site is your email address, contact information, promo photo, bio and any media you already have produced.
