Alternatives to the High Costs of
Building Websites

“A penny saved is a penny earned”
Benjamin Franklin
Benjamin Franklin made a profound point with his quotation on the value of money. A penny saved is a penny earned. In our day, it is more like a thousand dollars made is a thousand dollars earned. This statement is very applicable in the digital age when it comes to the cost of building a website.
If you have ever talked to anyone that had a website built, the cost can reach into thousands of dollars depending on the features, bells and whistles. The question must be asked, how many individuals and small business today can afford to shell out up to five thousand dollars or more to build a website?
Let us look at alternatives to the high cost of having a website built. There are some programs that a computer savvy use can use to make a basic website. One program is called FrontPage and another Dreamweaver. Both of these programs are classified in what are known as WYSIWYG, or what you see is what you get. (This expression was originally made famous by the comedian Flip Wilson and later borrowed by computer engineers to come up with the acrostic WYSIWYG.) You can design some basic websites with these programs and upload the files to a server that is hosting your site. With the WYSIWYG programs you can design some basic sites without having to know HTML.
But what if you are not computer savvy or don’t have the time to spend trying to use this software? One alternative we offer is building you a custom made site for a very reasonable fee. Please visit our site, Creative Educational Solutions for more information. We are running a limited time special, we will build you a basic site for a low cost. This offer will end soon. Please contact us or visit our website for more information.
Benjamin Franklin had it right; a penny saved is a penny earned and in the digital age five thousand dollars saved, is five thousand dollars earned. You can accomplish Benjamin Franklin’s principles by choosing the right method to build your site.

Creative Valentine’s Day Activities
By Richard Flowers
I have never met a person whose greatest need was anything other than real,
unconditional love. You can find it in a simple act of kindness toward someone
who needs help. There is no mistaking love. You feel it in your heart. It is the
common fiber of life, the flame of that heats our soul, energizes our spirit and
supplies passion to our lives. It is our connection to God and to each other.
