Dear Business Owners and Marketers,
I’m writing this post to calm any fears you may have that could be preventing you from moving forward. You don’t have to be technical a.k.a. techie or geek to have an awesome website for your business! You don’t have to understand, read, or write HTML code nor purchase expensive web developer software. You can edit and update content, add photos, links, and blog about your business on-line, all through some very basic resources and knowledge that don’t require you to go back to school to become a web developer.
The first resource you need is Internet access with an account set up on a website/blogging platform (very simple). The second resource you need is your brain, filled with knowledge and experiences. If you are a business owner or marketing on behalf of the business, the knowledge and experiences you share can easily be brought to the attention of your current or prospective customers online through your website/blog.
Here at Vivid Image, all of the websites/blogs we have put together for our clients are built on an ‘open source’ development software called WordPress. If you can write, type, and click a mouse, you can use WordPress! It really is user-friendly and you can literally add, remove or edit content (or photos) on your website from anywhere at any time, as long as you have Internet access (and can remember your username/password!) If you’ve ever used any kind of word processing software, such as Word…you have absolutely nothing to fear! PLUS, all of our clients always receive at least one training session before your website/blog goes live. Oh – did I mention 90 days of unlimited opportunity to call us if you have any questions?
So all you smart, non-techie, business saavy people reading this……stop procrastinating and let us help you put together an awesome online presence!

I’m curious – do you find that once people have taken the dive and set up their own blog, etc, that they wonder “what was I so afraid of?” Might be a couple of good stories to share there
.
Excellent ideas. Thanks for the post. We do have some ideas in the works!
Hi Stacey!
I can speak from my own personal experience. My confidence level in blogging has dramatically increased right after writing my very first blog post. I’d like to refer to Nike’s saying, “Just Do It!” When you write about something you are passionate about or have personal experience to share, it makes blogging so much easier.
