Making a website, easy peasy with all these online magical tools!

When I started Ulixes Consulting, it was from a need to be able to support friends and acquaintances a little in all their IT-related questions. For example, how do you set up a website, what is the best way to start a web shop?

With advertisements and commercials everywhere suggesting you build your own website while smiling, I didn't really understand why those friends where not using those great tools. Well, here is what I found out:

1. You need technical skills: Setting up a website often requires understanding how the technical aspects of the internet work, such as HTML, CSS and web hosting. If you have no experience setting up websites, it can be tricky to deal with.
2. Run it and turn it the way you want, you have to make time for it: If you are already busy running your own business, it can be hard to find time to set up a website as well.
3. Having your own website also costs money: It can be expensive to hire professional help to set up a website, especially if you have a small business with a limited budget.
4. Complexity is underestimated: Setting up a website can be complex, especially if you have no experience in setting up websites. There are many things to consider, such as website design, navigation and content.

Although the online building kits try to absolve you of the need for the technical knowledge and the complexity is underestimated, you usually end up with either a simple page with your name on it, or you don't put your own tinkering online after all, because it is not satisfactory.

Well, at that point it's worth calling on Ulixes Consulting. We'll help you through and you'll end up with your own place on the internet!
