Website news...


 
My new website has been installed and I am super happy with it!
For two years I had wanted my own site, but I found that local companies charged over-the-top-prices for mediocre services. I tried building one myself, but on account of too little web design know-how, I sadly gave up.  The most important criteria for me was that A.) I have complete control over content management and B.) the site is aesthetically appealing and C.) it incorporated a shopping cart system. As luck would have it I was researching web-related stuff on the net, when I came across an article that mentioned the cutest site on the block. The name appealed to me, so I followed the link and immediately knew that I had finally found what I had been looking for for so long. I contacted the owner, Brick, and he was most helpful in answering all my questions and guiding me through the whole ordering process. I knew straight away which template I wanted and although it's not exclusively my own I'm fairly sure it's exclusive here in Germany! Since I needed Euro pricing, Brick installed that for me free-of-charge. In fact, once you buy one of the many packages on offer there are no recurring fees. The websites are geared toward small business owners and interface with Joomla, a popular content management system. The cutest site on the block has great tutorials to get you started, as well as all sorts of SEO-related information.
I will be spending this weekend adding bi-lingual content to my site...and hopefully very soon a new range of products.

Wishing everyone a happy weekend!

Duni, I am so happy for you, it is very pretty. I hope all is going well with you, I have really missed you. I think of you everytime I get a tissue, lol! I do apologize for being such a slacker, but my health goes up and down every day. Soon and hopefully I will be doing much better since I am now seeing a pain doctor.

That is awesome...I'm so glad to hear you've got your site built!

I've heard of Cutest Site on the Block before but (mistakenly) thought they only did blog templates.

Good luck with your website!

Congratulations, well done! I wish I would have found someone to help me. I set mine up here http://www.GiftsByKatherine.com ( for $100.00) I did all the work though. They provided the shopping cart addition. I look forward to seeing your finished site. I wish you great success. Hugs!

Thanks for the cutest site on the block info. I'm also looking for a website with easy access to content management and a shopping cart system. This is my first visit to your blog and I'm very impressed.
