How Much Time Do You Have?
With the little time we all have, you deserve to have a website that works for you with minimal effort. There's so much to do in building an effective web presence. Your website shouldn't be the stumbling block. In New Orleans and beyond, developing websites and web presences is a strategic progress. Check out the Cyber Abolitionist's work so far.
Using The Best Tools For The Job
Content Management Systems (CMS) Are Where It's At
If you haven't heard the term CMS, then you're about to. A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to manage your content without changing your design. What does this mean?It means you or your web designer spend less time making updates and modifications because the site design does not have to be touched at all.
These days, most of the site work I do is centered around CMS systems because it just makes sense.

Here are just a few snapshots of the last three sites we've designed for our clients. I think photo sharing sites are cool and add to your overall web presence building strategy. So why not use them, I say :).

Site Design That Doesn't Require A PHD To Update
My Clients Have 24/7 Access To Their Site And I Show Them How
My goal is to get out of the way of my clients. I want to be there to support, encourage, and give all the necessary tools they need to be successful. I think it's unfair that so many web designers keep clients in servitude by building sites that only they can update and maintain.Sure, not everyone wants to make major changes to their site on their own without guidance or assigning me the task. That doesn't mean they should not be able to make minor changes such as adding events to their calendars, blog posts, pictures, etc.
I think it's costly and risky to depend on one person to maintain a website. What if that person leaves, moves away out of your realm, or leaves the planet. Think about this.

Links You Can Use
These are links I think will help you in doing your research online. I think these are all helpful tools in developing a web presence and building a web business.
- The Cyber Abolitionist Official Website
- Check out my website for podcast episodes on marketing your site and building traffic as well as tutorials on how to do the basic things you want to do in your Wordpress managed site.
- Bluehost - Affordable Web Hosting
- I think Bluehost is a great web host provider. It's not the only one, but when you find a good horse, you stick with it. Bluehost offers 1-click Wordpress installation, a cPanel, many, many email addresses, and the list goes on. Did I mention lots of hosting and bandwidth and the ability to host multiple domains.
- Aweber Newsletter & Autoresponder Service
- Aweber is one of the premiere email marketing systems. With a double opt-in policy, It offers newsletter, automatic RSS blog feed mail-outs, autoresponders, and much more. I use it. I love it and I think you might dig it too.

Web design is just the beginning. You must also think about how you will market your site
Anatomy Of A Site
Patience Is Still A Virtue
Although each site is unique in its own way, every site needs the minimus: good search engine optimization, traffic strategies, email marketing, social media campaigns, video marketing, and good content. That's just the beginning.
Step by step, you can build and define your web presence on the internet.
Don't expect it to all get done at once. It does take time. Think of your web presence development in stages and phases requiring testing, experimentation, and lots of patience. It can be done.

Free Tools For Your Wordpress Site
Some of the tools I use daily include Google's Webmaster and Analytic Tools. Facebook, Wordtracker, Youtube, Hubpages, Squidoo, Aweber, and Wordpress.
- Google Webmaster Central
- The Google webmasters program is a one-stop shop for webmaster resources that will help you with your crawling and indexing questions, introduce you to offerings that can enhance and increase traffic to your site, and connect you with your visitors.
I use it on every site I develop. - Google Analytics
- Google Analytics makes it easy to improve your results online. Write better ads, strengthen your marketing initiatives, and create higher-converting websites. Google Analytics is free to all advertisers, publishers, and site owners.
Again...I use it on every site. - Free Wordtracker Tool
- Wordtracker is used by marketers around the world. In addition to Google's External Keyword Researcher, Wordtracker acts as a validator to me in hunches I may have in potential niche markets.
- WordPress Blog Tool and Weblog Platform
- WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is both free and priceless at the same time. More simply, WordPress is what you use when you want to get found in the search engines and keep your site evergreen
