Don't You Just Hate When This Happens?

You're an actor who just got your new headshots, and you're eager to show them off on your website. You call your webmaster, and he tells you that, because he just started a new "real" job, he can't get to your request for at least three weeks, maybe longer. Or maybe he just doesn't have time to do websites any longer. Or you had the kid down the street set up your website, and now his mother tells you that he's grounded, so he can't even talk on the phone. Or maybe your boyfriend/girlfriend was maintaining your website, but there's trouble in paradise and he/she certainly isn't going to be updating your website from now on!

Or maybe you're a real estate agent and you just read about a new mortgage program that your customers would really go for. All you need to do is to add a page to your website with a fill-in form so you can collect information that would help you pre-qualify prospective clients, so you call your webmaster to ask him to make the change. His quote is $1000 for something that you think is pretty minor, but what can you do? Of course, you can tell your webmaster to take a hike, but you'll have to find a new one, and he'll have to charge you to determine exactly what's already been done on your site before he can give you a quote for a moderate or major change. Ka-ching.

In the case of the webmaster who no longer wants to do the work, you're totally stuck, because you'll have to find someone else to make the changes for you, let him learn how your site works (at your expense) and make the changes (at whatever fee he feels he can get you to pay). Ka-ching.

So you're tired of being nickled and dimed (or maybe hundreds-of-dollars'ed) to death, or worse yet, totally ignored, and you want to maintain your own website. But if your site is state-of-the-art, you'll have to learn HTML programming, maybe PhP scripting, Joomla®, Dreamweaver® or any of more than several dozen technologies being used to create websites today. Good luck with that - if you're not a computer professional, that can be an almost impossible task. And if you are a computer professional, you probably have far more important things to do than to tinker with MySQL® on your website.

Feel like you've lost control? Well, here's some good news: you can be in control, by becoming your own webmaster. No, you don't have to learn html, CSS, Flash®, Joomla® or any other technical methodology. If you can create a document with a word processor, and you can send and receive email, chances are that you'll have no problem whatsoever becoming your own webmaster, adding pages, changing content, even adding audio/video, with a StevesIdeas website. Even if you're a computer professional, you can maintain a StevesIdeas website much easier and faster than with any conventional programming technology you may be familiar with. And even better news: you can have a StevesIdeas website, including hosting, use of our unique online software, friendly, fast support, and your own domain name - all of this, for as little as $20.75 per month* ($16.60 for qualified non-profit organizations) plus as little as $100 initial setup, including a one-hour online training session!

StevesIdeas takes website implementation to an entirely new level: unbelievably flexible and full-featured, easy to maintain and low-cost!

And notice that I'm not shy about providing pricing for my websites. That's because my websites are priced competitively, often hundreds or thousands of dollars less than comparable sites. All prices are clearly listed in the "Compare Products" section of this site (of course, additional services beyond standard set-up will incur additional charges, but 99% of my customers find that the standard service package meets their needs very nicely).

I can have your new website up and running in a matter of hours, and you can begin adding content and customizing almost immediately. There's no reason to wait, give me a call or drop me an email and let's get started!
