As some of you know, I am currently attending classes in order to obtain my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Information Systems with a leaning towards Web Development; so, I’m always poking around the web looking for interesting things that might help me along the way. I was incredibly surprised to find out that a company that I’ve worked with and ordered from in the past, Vistaprint, is offering website hosting now! The websites are inexpensive – from $6.99 up to $21.97 per month – and require no programming skills to create and maintain.
This offer is awesome for businesses who just want a nice, simple website that they can match to business cards in order to create and market their “brand.” I know that often times a new business or even a business that is new to e-Commerce doesn’t have the budget it takes to hire a “professional” web developer. With Vistaprint you can create an unlimited number of websites and your site is fully customizable, including your URL, text, and design.
The “Professional” package enables you to include a PayPal shopping cart, have unlimited pages, and have unlimited domain pointers. Both the “Professional” and “Standard” packages include ability to include custom contact forms, image galleries, maps, a music player, and YouTube videos.
The “Starter” package is your basic package – but it includes 3 pages, a good chunk of disk space, customer contact forms and image galleries.
All packages come with VIstaPrint’s great phone support where you can use their free of charge number to access the customer support team (although the “Pro” package has priority phone support). You also have the ability to load documents you have created via VistaPrint including business cards, postcards, etc, to your website.
Right now – you can try out the VistaPrint website packages for free! During the free trial, you can create a website especially for you and your business. The free trial lasts for one month. If you cancel before the trial ends, you will have paid nothing and will owe nothing. The package fee will only be charged when free trial offer period ends, and will be charged monthly to the credit or debit card used for your order.
