Setting up and running a website - Intro

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce the launch of a new series of blogs by IntoArt. Yes yes, I know, this is already a new blog – how premature do I want to be with another `new’ release? But things move fast in the ever changing world of the internet, and we are riding the crest of the wave. So, pull up a pew, grab yourself a hot drink and tune in for the first instalment of:

The Guide to “Setting up and running a website” for normal people
“It’s NOT hard & we’ll Prove it!”

Simple step by step guide

No web coding needed

You get a professional website that you can manage

OK, here’s where we pop the bubble and explode the myth. Yes, anyone can run and manage their own website with little to no technical experience. Sure, you need to be able to use a computer at a basic level and be at least a little web savvy, but anything on top of that is just a bonus.
