Why designing your crafty website is cheap and easy

And Why I want you to design your site in Wordpress- check out this link, which explains better than I could, why designing your website doesn’t have to cost a lot. I keep several free wordpress.com blogs active, and I have several hosted wordpress sites- some that don’t even function as blogs in the traditional sense, just a few pages of information- such as the South East Florida Polymer Clay Guild – www.sefpcg.com.  Just because it’s a blogging platform doesn’t mean it has to be a blog. Wordpress is the website design platform that I learned on (after leaving my free blogger account due to lack of features at the time- now I’m back at blogger for my personal stuff because of the google features) and I stand by it. I’ve been through lots and lots of wordpress upgrades, and it keeps getting better!

Website users (viewers, customers, etc) have come to expect that a website will have a consistent feel, consistent navigation, and ease of use. Wordpress offers all of that, free and easy. So does Blogger- but I find blogger has a slightly higher learning curve, especially if you don’t know any html or css. Wordpress has thousands of free easy-to-install themes available, so that’s why I suggest it for first-time bloggers.
