Blogs and Personal Websites

Blogs for Business

A blog is website that allows a user to easily publish articles or thoughts and typically allows readers to add comments regarding a published article. Though sometimes maligned as a tool for kids, blogs can be a highly effective way for a business or organization to communicate and interact with their audience, especially if that audience is younger or technologically savvy. Many online giants, from Amazon to Google to Yahoo! all use blogs to better reach and connect with their audience.

The Better Site can easily setup up a blog and provide training on its use. We can customize features depending on your needs, show you how to moderate comments so that you avoid embarrassing or inappropriate feedback from your users, and integrate your blog's design with the rest of your site. We can also create a fresh design from scratch if this better suits your needs.

Pricing depends on the degree of customization required and the amount of design or integration work needed. Please contact us to learn more.

Personal Blogs and Websites

Not every website is operated by a large company or organization though. Blogs are also a great way to share opinions about certain topics or keep family and friends up to date with your latest personal news.

Now we know you're a smart person. You're probably well aware that a 101 websites already offer free blogs. So why on earth would you need The Better Site to help you?

There are several reasons. First, we offer a much greater degree of customization than blog services. We can install components that add new features or modify existing functionality and integrate a blog design to match the rest of an existing website. We can also install and integrate additional software to provide functionality not found in blogs alone. For example, one popular option is software that easily uploads and manages large numbers of pictures for your own online photo album.

In addition, with our managed hosting plans, we also take care of the maintenance for you. We install updates to the server when new versions of your blogging software are released. Updates improve the features of the software and provide security by fixing any bugs as they are discovered. You never have to worry about keeping up with the latest versions or installing them yourself. We'll take care of it all for you.

If free online services already meet your needs, we wish you Godspeed. If however you're interested in a more professional and integrated approach to a personal website or blog, please contact us to discuss the details.
