The answer is that, with your own privately registered domain and hosting account, YOU own and control the website, not anybody else. You can put whatever you like on your site and no-one can tell you otherwise. You can make your site look and behave how you like. You're the boss. And, with your own website, you can build your own distinctive 'brand', whether you are a business or a community group, an individual, or whatever...

But as the technology has advanced, so have the tools to build websites become more accessible. WordPress is one of these tools and WordPress is the subject of this e-book. But how much does it cost to make a website? The answer is just a few bucks per month for hosting. If you create your own website using WordPress, you don't have to spend another cent. And what if you're looking to start a blog? Well, the same instructions apply. WordPress was originally designed as a blogging platform and this ebook shows you just how to build a blog using the same techniques as designing a website. Whether you want to create a simple WordPress blog or design a full-blown ecommerce site, Sarah's 'WordPress To Go' will start you off on the right foot.
