Alright so after you choose the right host you will need to then start developing your actual website. This is the hardest part in my opinion. You will have to hire a designer and a coder unless you can do both those things yourself. Information on that will come in a later article but for now I am going to help you decide if you should use a CMS to manage and update your website or to use standard HTML.

Take The CMS route:

A CMS (Content Management System) is a great route to take when developing your website it gives you a quick and easy way to manage your website and it’s content. I like to do this for many websites for instance WalkMyBusiness runs on a CMS called Wordpress which can also be great for company blogs and personal blogs as well.

Pros of Using A CMS:

• Easy Content Editing
• Multiple Editors
• Manage From Anywhere In The World
• Easy Website Creation

Cons of Using A CMS:

• Possibility of security holes in the CMS
• Having to hire employees who understand the CMS

Take The HTML Route:

The HTML route is the way I always go with websites that do not require constant updating of content. Take the Logic Depths Network homepage I rarely update that so i have that running on HTML. I run some PHP lines such as the include function which any php coder should know to include external html pages in the main page to allow easy editing still.

Pros of Using HTML:

• More Usability For You & Visitors
• Cheaper When Having It Coded
• Not Needing To Hire 12 Employees For One Page
• Less Security Holes

Cons of Using HTML:

• Time Consuming To Edit
• Having to make the web page look the same in all browser including the nightmare known as Internet Exploder (Internet Explorer)
• Code Can Be Messy And Hard To Understand If Not Coded Correctly

Those are the basic pros and cons of using a CMS and regular HTML. I hoped that they helped you.
