Building Your First Website Reviews

One of the scariest components of starting a business online is creating the website. Common questions and comments include:

• I know nothing about programming!
• Websites cost thousands to build!
• "Website Builders" look cheap!
• Only "techies" can build websites!

Back in the 1990s, these were all valid excuses not to build a website. But as the internet and techology have evolved, building your own custom website has been been easier!

The 2000s have introduced us to Content Management Systems. What are CMS's? They are simple website developing tools that allows you to create websites within the browser itself! That is right! You do NOT need a copy of Dreamweaver or become an advanced student of HTML to create a website. And the sophistication of these Content Management Systems only continue to grow.

You can adjust formatting, colors, images, styles, pages, content, links...almost anything you want! And you do it in simple online forms. Do you want the background color to be red? Simple, go to a styles page and click the red button and save. Building websites HAS become this simple.

Some Content Management Systems you may have heard of, like Wordpress. Still, Wordpress is structured around blogging. What about just plain websites for selling products or promoting affiliate links? Our list below includes some the most powerful, yet simple to manage (AND AFFORDABLE) content management systems around.
