The number of companies who have a website is increasing dramatically every single day - why? Simple; the web is the number one platform for selling. Gone are the days of only being able to advertise via traditional platforms such as TV, Radio and print - now the world wide web (WWW) is the number one place to showcase your business.

Costs

Web design companies often design websites for you at a very high price, often because they are having to spend a lot of hours (weeks) designing and developing the entire website. Website design software is the ideal solution for companies looking to have a highly professional website, but without the sometimes astronomical costs!

Okay, so I can save money with web design software- what else?

I'm glad you asked. Hosted web design software is a package that you can purchase and receive a readymade site that is waiting for your company details, text and images, as well as having everything set up ready to be online straight away (hosting). Through purchasing and using web design software you will save:

· Time - website design software is a much quicker option than having a company spend weeks designing a new website from scratch. It will also save you time in the long-run with real time editing.

· Money - having design software can be extremely cost-effective, with very little time needed to set everything up. It's also much easier to upload text as you don't need specialist knowledge to add items, saving you money on hiring a professional to upload text and images to your website.

What if I decide I want a new site in the future?

A hosted web design software package is definitely the one for you! If you ever decide you want to upgrade your website once again, it can be done easily with the company you used previously - enabling a smooth transition and a brand new look created in days rather than weeks or months.

If you have some designs already made that you would like creating into a website from a PSD (Photoshop) file, a particular tool you can use is available online at www.basekit.com - from novices to professionals this tool has helped save time and money!
