Problem
Hosting and maintaining a website is expensive and can be cost-prohibitive for many projects.
Solution
Utilize remote hosting and a content management software program that will keep the website running at a minimal cost.
Discussion
Hosting and maintaining a website involves hardware and software costs, as well as the expense of personnel to design the site and update its content. This has a negative impact on a project’s human and financial resources.
In contrast, content management software (CMS) can provide customizable template designs and a web-based user interface that results in a professional looking website. In addition, remote hosting allows for a well maintained website infrastructure at a fraction of the cost.
If you’re not using CMS, you can still save money:
- Leverage your investment by conceptualizing your future needs as well as your immediate needs. If the framework for expansion modules is incorporated during a web site’s initial design, for example, the site can expand without incurring additional design expense.
- Know your Webmaster. Today, software is available that makes designing a simple web site relatively easy. Make sure that the designer you hire is the real thing, and has a proven track record with clients whose needs are similar to your own.
