LO4 Reflections

This week we researched website builders and hosts.  I researched weebly, wordpress and dreamweaver.  For me at this time I chose to use wordpress for these reasons:
1.  It lets me have most control over my site without me having to code every line.
2.  Its widely used and has a ton of plugins.
3.  It was better than weebly because weebly only had a few templates to choose from and not many plugins.  
4.  It was better than dreamweaver at this time because I dont have time to code the entire site.

As far as hosting goes... I compared Justhost, Doteasy and GoDaddy.  They were all pretty comparable but doteasy was running a special for $1 a month for the first year.  Everything else to google adword credits were the same.  I did hear from a class mate that godaddy's service was pretty bad.  I use justhost and they have great customer service so I used them as my hosting.

I also finished up my project #1 this week.  It helped me use Google adwords keywords to help me decide if my business had a demand, competition, startup costs, supplier issues and profit.  I really felt that the spread sheet and the whole experience was useful.  I hope to use it again in the future.  I already bought my domain name and hosting.  TravelingHikingFamily.com
