Let’ Get To Building Your New Site!
You Are Just Minutes Away!
Ok, So you have your Domain & Hosting; Now We Build!
Has anyone ever told you that BlueHost has 2 different ways you can choose from to set up your new site?
With BlueHost, You Can Choose
Simple Set-Up OR Super-Simple Set-Up!
BlueHost has more than One Option for setting up a WebSite.
Most Tutorials Offer Set-Up instructions for Using WordPress which is great, but has a slight learning curve to use and can require some maintenance.
It is a GREAT Option that allows almost limitless customization features for your website; and anyone can do it. No need for computer skills to get it going!
The Alternative, which is Super-Simple is the BlueHost WebSite Builder. It is a template that pretty much just requires you to pick colors, upload your images of choice and pop in your Company Details.
It’s great if you don’t need a ton of customized features (that you will need to learn how to use).
This is a great Option for Business Owners who have no intention to learn about site maintenance and picking themes, plug-ins and blah, blah blah. It’s a No Fuss-No Muss Option for the busy business owner.
Another alternative is to use BlueHost WebSite Builder to get your site going, then learn the ends and outs of WordPress and all of its features later.
Whatever you decide, We’ve got you covered!
There is a tutorial for both, so you can choose. We just like to make sure you know you have choices!
