Because the skill level of people using the Internet varies, from professional site designers to those who are happy with pointing and clicking, it is important for any company that features hosting services to provide a variety of packages, often including an easy way for individuals and small businesses to design their own site.

ABI Hosting can provide an easy web builder for anyone to use. Even those used to HTML and writing their own code will appreciate the ease of this program, which allows people to see what they are doing as they are doing it, rather than writing out strings of commands and hoping that each item will turn out exactly where you want it. This makes it easy to customize a web site, whether it is a family memories themed site, or a business selling products over the Internet, and can be completed in five quick steps.

While you want your site to be unique, and it can be easy to add extra items with a web builder, you also want it to be easy to read and appealing. Here are a few tips:

• Avoid using too much movement. A lot of flashing images or words moving across the screen can be distracting and difficult to read.

• Be sure to have contrast. Dark letters on a light background, or light letters on a dark background.

• If there is a lot of content on a particular page, use borders or boxes to help readers keep track of what they are reading.

• Choose basic colors, and use a few other colors for contrast. Too many colors can be distracting to the eye.

Once you’ve designed your site, you need to have a way to get people to find it. For many industries, there are chat rooms and forums where members of those industries meet. Join a few, and make insightful posts, with your web site in the signature. Or join forums where you think your customers might be – if you are selling yarn, you might comment in a crochet forum. You can also place ads on other web sites, either by buying space or through programs such as Google Adwords. Building traffic can take time, so the sooner you get your site up and running, the better.

A hosting service with a simple and flexible web builder can get your site onto the Internet quickly, but with high quality results. This will allow you to spend your time focusing on other aspects of your business. The Internet is also a great way to grow a business, both as an advertising method and as another way to sell to your customers.

There are many reasons people may want to claim their own corner of the Internet and create a web site:

• A web page allows customers to find businesses more easily – many people look on the Internet first when they want to find a product or service, if only to research. They may then order it online, or go to the store with more confidence because they have already researched the product. This means a web page can often be an easy form of advertising – you can convey a lot more information to a customer than with a billboard or a flyer.

• A family may want a way to keep connected across the country. This allows grandparents and other relatives an easy way to see pictures of junior, or friends to see what their buddies are up to.

• Starting your business online can often be less expensive than opening a store. An Internet based business will often have lower costs – hosting a site versus renting a location is highly affordable.

It’s easy to create a web site. Using a hosting service, you can get your pages hosted on a server for a low monthly fee, and use a custom package make your site in a few simple steps. The only technical knowledge required will be pointing and clicking as you load on pictures and text. You will also receive extra conveniences such as email addresses to match your site.

A few good things to remember:

• Choose a domain name that reflects something about your business. Your business name would be ideal, as long as it also includes some reference to what your business does. If your business’ name is Bob’s, you may want to add something to the name, such as Bobspancakes.com if you sell pancake mixes.

• At the same time, do not be too specific. If your company grows, you may not want to change the name of your web site. If you think you might add to your company in the future, you might choose Bobsbreakfastmixes.com or Bobsmixes.com, to allow for growth.

• Keep your pages easy to read. It can be tempting to add a lot of graphics and bits of video, but it may turn off potential customers if your pages take too long to load or are too distracting.
