“…the internet is our best source of phone calls…”

Before working with Ahryn and his company, we had a small website that was in serious need of a facelift. The website usually got lost in the huge pool of web search results. Few calls were generated by it. The cost of keeping the website no longer can be justified by the number of new students I got from it.
One day in last June, Ahryn approached me to built us a new website. His proposal was to promote the new website online with videos and articles. More visitors to my website started to show gradually. After about four months things really picked up!
Now, after about nine months, as a result of Ahryn’s work, our website gets over 600 new visitors per month and the internet is our best source of phone calls from prospective students. The new functions of our website also provide us an easy way to communicate with our existing members.
In addition, Ahryn created an email news list which helps us to distribute our newsletter to prospective and existing students.
Thank you for giving us an effective online presence.

The Advantages of CMS Website Over a Static HTML Website
In these times where owning a website is a necessity of every business, deciding what type of website to create has become a dilemma for many business owners. Should you create a CMS website or a Static HTML website? Indeed, this is a big question that haunts almost all new website owners.
Now, to help you in your decision-making, it is always wise to draw out certain considerations based on your needs and your ability to make changes to the website on your own. Of course, you would want a website that you can make changes to at your own convenience, without the hassle, lack of control and the cost of passing the task to others. If you ask me, I personally prefer using a CMS website and I highly recommend it, especially to new website owners.
When you own a website, there are things that must be done on a regular basis. One of these is keeping the content fresh and up-to-date. It may sound a daunting task, but being able to add new content is of the utmost importance to the success of both your website and business. Now, with a Content Management System (CMS) as your website, the task of updating the content and design of your website will be as easy as 1, 2, 3.
What a Content Management System provides is a user-friendly interface that allows the editor to interact with the site in several ways with ease. It provides graphical user interface that allows the editor to create content, add images and multimedia files, create content schedules, and many more.
To give you a clear idea of what a CMS website, WordPress is the best example for it. With a CMS website, maintenance is decentralized using a common web browser. This makes editing possible at anytime and anywhere and it’s not complicated, unlike with HTML website. People with average knowledge of word processing can build the content directly with no HTML knowledge required. Moreover, the system allows multiple people to contribute content to the site all at the same time. You can manage these users by designating roles and permissions that will give them authority as well as limitations of access to the pages of the website.
Furthermore, there are plenty of modules available for you to incorporate to your website. These additional features will surely boost the functionality of your website. Some of these modules are site search, polls, discussion forums, photo galleries and more.
With regards to the content, it is stored in a database where you can conveniently utilize it in other parts of the website and can be easily formatted to match any device – may it be a web browser, mobile phone, PDA or print.
So, if you are serious about your business make your website into a CMS driven website to enjoy the freedom of technical know how and bring your website to the edge.
