If I had it to do over:
- I would probably seek the help of one of the BV developers on this site earlier in the game. They are not that expensive and are very good at what they do. At least a lady with a keen eye was for me…..Gotcha ya!!
- I would get the template perfect, perfect, perfect, before I ever built page 2. I had the misfortune of having to fix over 125 pages after publishing because I did not catch a couple of mistakes. An http:// in front of a www. link; the wrong title and meta tags on page properties and some very, very key aesthetic issues (you see, I do not have an artistic bone in my body);
- Once you have a template, everything else is just a cookie cutter. Fill in the content, save your pages and move on to the next topic. Don’t forget about your H-1 and H-2 tags (do a search on that subject…LOL) or the fact you need to put a |topic| topic| topic| vertical bar spacing in your title pages.
- I would not waste a second trying to figure out how to build forms. It is a part of BV that needs some work in the tutorials and the new releases are overlapping the directions. Spend your time gathering content and let someone else build your forms for you. Sleep well at night and quit grinding your teeth. They know it is out of sync and are probably working on it.
- Want a forum? Same as above. The phpb and soholaunch tutorials are behind the release versions. Like a blind man walking in a dark alley. Grab someone’s arm to lead you through the morass. Let them do it for you.
- For the few shortfalls of BV, I still think it is the best drag and drop Web site building software on the market and the hosting service/price is hard to beat. Know what I like best? I have control of my website. I can make additions, deletions, corrections, changes, add new pages, photos etc. without having to have a web developer on my payroll, wait for or pay for them to make my needed changes or worry about the fact they are on vacation for the next 2 weeks when I am up to my posterior in alligators because of a mistake on my site. If I need to make a change. I do it! If I want to add a photo. I do it! If I want to add a new page. I do it! If I want to add a new link. I do it! Then, I publish it!
- My first web site. Over 125 pages. I’ll have about 8 more before the end of January but much smaller than this one. This one was a hairy beast that just kept growing new legs.
- I welcome you to visit my site and find out about this beautiful city in which I live. Perhaps you will visit someday. Medical and Dental Health tourism is a very big business here. Many of us are baby boomers getting ready for retirement and facing an uncertain future with rising health care costs in the US. A lot of that section still needs some work but it is my next priority. The local Docs are very interested in my site.
- I’ll take all comments constructively and thank you in advance for your time to comment. It is not perfect but I sure am proud of her. Thanks again my lovely eyed lady. Would not be here without you. Stay warm! For all that are interested, she and I have never met.
