Most small businesses, when starting out, don’t have a lot of capital to throw around. Get a business up and running takes lots of dedicated work - spending hours in your office.

 

I used the early days of my business to improve my marketing and sales skills. I used my time to learn new skills that I could use in my business.

 

Building websites was one thing that I initially learned without guidance, by using all the free tools and information available online. Later, I started to pay for courses which took my skills to new levels.

 

As a entrepreneur, I want to know what is going on in every aspect of my business. I know the basics of financials and other admin aspects. I’m fortunate that I don’t need to do these tasks myself any more, but at least I understand what I see when I ask for reports. 

 

Although it might be needed for you to build your own website in the beginning, later on you can look over the person’s shoulder that does it then, to see what he is doing. You will at least understand the basics when your new web developer talks to you. You will have a pretty good idea what is possible, and how much time is needed for certain tasks. 

 

In the beginning, a lot of business people have to do everything it themselves. As soon as the business can afford it to outsource, you are less likely to be ripped of by a web developer who sit on the other side of the world. 

 

So learning how to build and manage your own website is a good skill to have.

 

Technology and web development software is as diverse as the most fruitful mind’s imaginary flights. All website that ezywebsites.co.za develop is written, using Joomla. If you decide to become a client of ezywebsites, I’ll recommend that you start your web development experience by learning Joomla. 

 

No matter if you build your own website, or if ezywebsites.co.za does it for you, you know the software to manage your own website. 

 

One of the courses I did is found at www.build-a-web.com. I’ll recommend that you also follow that course. It spills the beans on most trade secrets that webmasters want to keep secret. After that little course, you are able to build your own website, right from the word go. 

 

There is another reason why I recommend it. By becoming a client of ezywebsites.co.za, you will have the skills needed to manage and maintain your own website. 

 

One of my friends distributes dog food. On his website, he advertise the prices of his products. Some time ago, he asked his webmaster to update the prices on the website. Unfortunately the person took about 2 weeks before he changed a simple page. My friend was forced to sell his products at the old prices. 

 

This is a classic example of how an overworked webmaster contributed to lost profits. That experience encouraged my friend to learn how to build and maintain his own website. 

 

You can learn how to prevent such situations by learning how to maintain the website inhouse. 

 

In fact, it doesn’t take more effort to send an email to the webmaster with the instructions on how to update your site, than to update it yourself. 

 

In short - when you learn how your website works, you’re in a much better situation to make the most of it. 

 

Now you have options. With these options on your desk, you can make the best decisions to take your business to the next level.

 

By learning the skill of web development, you now have control over one more aspect of your business.
