A thorough explanation of this major change can be found here: Google’s new mobile ready algorithm.

Google are looking for a more mobile friendly layout rather than a site which simply down-sizes as most of the older style sites do. The new responsive sites are also programmed for improved speed and useability.

To a small business, a content management system is both a blessing and a punishment all wrapped up in logins, content, images, manageable SEO and sometimes, headaches.

A content management system, as it is sold, allows you to modify your site all by yourself….
Sounds easy…. however, what you don’t hear is that unless you are modifying the site on a regular basis, are fairly software savvy and have bucketloads of patience, it can be a time consuming and frustrating process to do more than fixing up a few little words.

Below is a list of Pros and Cons of a Content Management System.  These days, you will find many

With the internet getting more and more crowded with new business websites, it can be a difficult process to find that ideal domain that truly reflects our current business name or service.

Often times, small businesses leave this job to their website developer who registers the domain as part of the process of building your small business website.  It all seems easy to leave it to them…. and it is…. until you decide to upgrade your website with a new developer, move your website hosting, have a falling out with your current website developer or worse still, your current developer chooses to change career paths and disappears into the abyss.

Since you left it all to your developer, they are the only ones with access to your domain name.  Often, you are not assigned any administration rights to your own domain name, and going forward, you no longer have the domain you spent all that time choosing and all that money branding countless business cards, letterheads, social media pages, and vehicle signage.  Not to mention, once your domain expires, so too does your email address @yoursmallbusiness.com.au

I often see this scenario with small businesses.

Community groups, committees or not for profit organisations where many of the management team are made up of volunteers also fall victim as the person who purchased the domain is often long gone by the time the domain is due for renewal within 2 years or when changes are required to the domain.

If a web developer cannot access your domain, they cannot point your domain name to your new website location.

It’s not all doom and gloom:
If simply asked, many web developers will give you administration rights to your domain or transfer to a new domain registry for you or your new developer to gain access.
You can develop your website under a new domain name and add a back order to your old domain name so that when it expires (with the old domain registry) you will be given first option to re-purchase the domain.

In a nutshell, there are ways around it, but do yourself a favour and either purchase your domain prior to hiring a web developer or let them know at the start that you want complete access to your purchased domain…. if they won’t give it to you… that’s a hint!

This is a paragraph. It should not have any alignment of any kind. It should just flow like you would normally expect. Nothing fancy. Just straight up text, free flowing, with love. Completely neutral and not picking a side or sitting on the fence. It just is. It just freaking is. It likes where it is. It does not feel compelled to pick a side. Leave him be. It will just be better that way. Trust me.

Left Align

This is a paragraph. It is left aligned. Because of this, it is a bit more liberal in it’s views. It’s favorite color is green. Left align tends to be more eco-friendly, but it provides no concrete evidence that it really is. Even though it likes share the wealth evenly, it leaves the equal distribution up to justified alignment.

Center Align

This is a paragraph. It is center aligned. Center is, but nature, a fence sitter. A flip flopper. It has a difficult time making up its mind. It wants to pick a side. Really, it does. It has the best intentions, but it tends to complicate matters more than help. The best you can do is try to win it over and hope for the best. I hear center align does take bribes.

Right Align

This is a paragraph. It is right aligned. It is a bit more conservative in it’s views. It’s prefers to not be told what to do or how to do it. Right align totally owns a slew of guns and loves to head to the range for some practice. Which is cool and all. I mean, it’s a pretty good shot from at least four or five football fields away. Dead on. So boss.

Justify Align

This is a paragraph. It is justify aligned. It gets really mad when people associate it with Justin Timberlake. Typically, justified is pretty straight laced. It likes everything to be in it’s place and not all cattywampus聽like the rest of the aligns. I am not saying that makes it better than the rest of the aligns, but it does tend to put off more of an聽elitist聽attitude.
