How Four Kitchens builds websites
New to this?
Does this techie stuff mystify you? No sweat. Here’s everything you need to start a website in plain English.
Here’s how we’ll launch your new website (or revamp your old one):
- install a customized, secure content management system that allows you to update your site yourself
- design a custom layout and graphics
- perform basic search engine optimization to boost those ever-important search results
Of course, content management systems and cutting-edge designs are not our only capabilities. In the past few years, our people and our information systems have managed targeted marketing campaigns to over 100,000 people, processed millions of dollars in transactions, and reached over 120,000 readers through publications we’ve designed, written, and managed. Big sites, small sites—we do it all.
Web software: we do our homework
Content management systems
A content management system (CMS) is a software package that manages your website’s content. It’s installed on your web server, which means you can update your website from any computer with an Internet connection.
We’re always experimenting with new web software and content management systems. We filter through the buzz to find the best software for our customers’ needs and budgets. Almost without exception, we’ve found that the best web software is opensource—that is, totally free to use!
Headache-free web hosting
We can host your website on our dedicated server for less than the cost of many third-party web hosts. We’ll also maintain your website by upgrading your software packages and patching security holes as updates are released. Plus, you’ll have access to our private phone lines for immediate, no-hold tech support.
If you’d prefer to host your site with a third party, we can help you set up an account with DreamHost. We’ve been with them since 2003, and we have yet to find a friendlier, more honest hosting company.
Of course, DreamHost doesn’t suit everyone’s needs. We’re familiar with dozens of other hosts and plans, and we will suggest the best web host for your needs and price point.
