About

Hello my name is Herrin.

Weird name huh? (my parents were hippies ok!)

I am actually a recording engineer and musician believe it or not.

Why the hell am I selling a program that teaches you how to create and make your own website look and operate the way YOU want it to?

In short, I had a small budget, and wanted to make it the way I wanted!

I researched the main user friendly Web Design software options:

  • Dreamweaver (PC and Mac)- very powerful but hard to use and like a dinosaur in its user interface.
  • FreeWay Pro (Mac) – More intuitive than Dreamweaver but still cumbersome and hard to easily add updates.
  • iWeb (Mac) – Awesomely cool interface and user experience but slow loading pages and some major Search Engine Optimization problems as well as hard to update.
  • Flash (Mac and PC) – You can make it look really cool and flashy (if thats a positive) but its very hard to update and has horrible SEO.

I muddled around on various versions of all of the above until I discovered a new type of Web Software.

Interestingly instead of being software you had to buy and install on your PC it is all totally online.

What does this mean to you?

  • Login in from any computer anywhere and add or update text, images and media.
  • Multiple accounts means that a community can contribute to the one site.
  • Using themes you can update the whole look of your site while the actual content remains.
  • A clean simple user interface that anyone can use.

Until recently this was more a coders territory. (Except for Microsoft homepage but do we really need to go there!)

In the online website software war, one undisputed champion has risen. (I list at bottom some of the other contenders for interest)

Wordpress!

Wordpress

Why?

It has all the above listed benefits with the addition of:

  • A central dashboard area from where you can reply to comments, edit pages, check sales, upload images or media and review site statistics.
  • A beautiful clean user interface that makes you feel in charge of your own website.
  • A massive plugin and theme developer community with most (or all) of them free!

AND, With the release of Wordpress 2.7 you can update the core software, all plugins and themes with one click!

No more Geekery required.

As a result of Wordpress growing user base and powerful developer community many high profile people and companies now use it as their main web platform.
