Websites – An Overview
eCommerce – An Overview
June 11, 2022When business owners are looking into the possibility of a (modern) website for the first time, the choices and questions are often overwhelming. This article is meant to give a brief introduction to homepages, answering some of the many questions we get about them from customers.
Do I need coding experience?
This is the most common question that we have been asked. While it does depend on the content management system (CMS), if any, that the customer wishes to use, for the most part, you do not need any coding experience after a website's initial setup.
Depending on the hosting provider, the initial setup may require some software experience with server applications such as MySQL.
That's good to hear, but how hard will adding new content to my website be?
Easy! The editors vary from CMS to CMS, but the most user-friendly ones like Ghost and WordPress allow you to edit pages and articles in a word processor-like environment.
Will I need to buy servers to host the website?
While operating your own servers is a good option for saving money in the long-term, it is not required in any way. Good hosting plans start at ~USD5/month at some companies and remove the need for server maintenance.
Will getting a website be expensive?
Absolutely not! Domains start at ~USD20/year, quality hosting can easily be found for ~USD5/month, and RGN Development's prices are affordable, yet our services are still high quality.

What would my website look like?
If you choose RGN Development for your website, you can send us the content (text, images, etc.) and we will add it to your website. For live examples, you can look at some of the sites on our portfolio, but keep in mind that they may have changed from when we created them. We will try to include archive.org links for updated ones.
