Start with a Blog Site
Jun 16, 2009 by Marissa Berger
You have heard of blogs and think they are not for you. Maybe your business doesn’t really suit the type of back and forth communication a blog thrives on, or maybe you simply don’t have enough time to write articles several times a week. Or, maybe you don’t like to write at all.
Don’t dismiss a blog just yet!
A blog site may be just what you need. A blog is really just a website. It just has the added functionality that allows visitors to comment on what you have to say or post. In addition to these posts people comment on, you can add regular web pages to a blog. When you do so, you end up with a regular site but with added features.
What’s the benefit?
The main benefit of using a blog to develop your first website is budget. You still need a web developer to install WordPress (our recommended blogging tool) on your web server, design a professional look and feel for your site, and customize the WordPress templates to fit your design. But, all of this takes less time than building a regular site. Plus, you get the bonus of getting a content management system that’s already built it. You can edit your pages and your posts through the WordPress dashboard.
So, why have a regular website?
Although a blog site is a good solution for a first business website (or a personal website), it does have its limitations. First, there are limitations to the design. In order to follow the structure of a blog, your site needs to be designed a particular way. You also don’t get the flexibility and sophistication that a regular site brings to the table. A regular site can draw content from a database, perform difficult tasks with this data, and more. The more complex and functional you want your business site to be, the more you need a regular website.
But in the mean time, if you are just starting out, a blog site may do the trick until you budget enough to build your own custom and functional site.

Hello,
Have you ever think about creating your very own blog? There are many excellent platforms, but by far the best is Wordpress. It is fast to set up, however the themes just never fit my specifications. I searched for a simple solution to this problem and realized that there wasn’t one. I then had a template custom made for my needs and was so happy with the outcome. I then decided to build a website that would show the world how to easily hire an expert in wordpress design.
