Janet Vargas
Hi there, my name is Janet Vargas. I’m simply passionate about making Websites for 12 years now……Inspirational…..Poems and Pictures…..eCards…..Natural Health……Natural Gardening…….Christian Writings without churchy content …….a few Blog Websites.
One of those has lots of Good News articles to cheer people up – it’s quite popular.
My experience with Websites has been Mostly Good, except for a Webhosting Company who changed their Sitebuilder twice. I very much enjoyed working with their Sitebuilders SB2 and SB4 – they were excellent, but they decided last year to merge with Wix and they charge separate amounts for everything – very expensive. That adds up for several websites.
Fortunately for me, I have other websites (WordPress ones) on a Shared Server with a Wonderful Webhosting Company who are based in Europe I won’t have to change to another Sitebuilder because WordPress Websites are much more stable than Company Sitebuilders. Vistaprint is not the only Webhosting Company to change their minds like that – so disappointing, and very stressful. They were a really great Company, the first 5 years, then their developers were too busy with other things to complete what was a perfect Sitebuilder their customers really loved, to be replaced by Wix.
Because I’ve had some Good and Bad experiences, I can give you some Good Recommendations and help you dodge the Bad Ones. I have made
30 Websites collectively with different Webhosts, 5 Sitebuilders, Templates and different types of WordPress Themes.
Shared Server wise, I’ve had some really dodgy experiences with two companies I found to be corrupt – previous to my present Webhost – websites went missing from their Servers when plans were changed and were absent from the internet 3 months. They took no accountability for that – I had to keep contacting them, only to be told something different each time from their workers who were reading from Script and making different excuses for the poor service I was getting, but never doing anything about it. Really exasperating, I felt exhausted.
Lesson learned: they were NOT trained technicians, like people are led to believe on signing up, and neither of those Big Name Companies refunded my money (months paid in advance) $500AUD collectively.
For your protection, I will make mention of those companies by name and others like them in my page called Hosting Sites I Avoid from extensive research I have done. It pays to do due diligence when selecting Webhosts or be advised. The purpose of this website is to somehow fill in the gap for you if you have no-one to advise you. And to give you some Website Tips as well.
Because of incentives given to some Website Services who give helpful website instructions, it can be quite tricky.
A family member had set me up with those two companies:)
I could say more, but suffice to say here, I’ve found out a lot about who and what to avoid that can Safeguard You and some Good Leads for you, based on much better experiences, with Webhosting and WordPress Themes that are really Good….. etc.
Some WordPress Theme Companies out there are best avoided when it comes to how they designed the workings of them. Certainly not for Newbies.
A Theme (website template) is more than just a nice Website Design to fill in with Content. Let’s say, the mechanics of some of them work better than others or easier than others, or somewhat complex.
I’ve had experience with 3 Company Sitebuilders, and about 4-6 types of WordPress Themes , (about 18 WordPress Websites altogether) over the last 8 years. I’ve found some really Good Plugins (kind of widgets, that make it possible to do some pretty unique things on your WordPress Websites, including an easy SEO application that doesn’t require a ‘university degree’ to use, like so many do:)
SEO stands for a little Search Engine Optimization program that makes your Websites come up more often on the Internet – people find them easier.
Lots of Webhosts charge very expensive rates to do that for us.
It’s been in my thoughts for some months to help other people with Websites – including Newbies – to help you avoid some of the pitfalls and to give you some really Good Tips that will make a real difference for you.
All the best to you and your Ventures.
