BustinLooseHosting is now Live!

blh screenshot 300x225 BustinLooseHosting is now Live!We have now completed (all but the fine tuning and content) our Hosting website, BustinLooseHosting.com.You will notice that BustinLooseMedia, BustinLooseHosting, and this site, WildWebDesigner.com, all have the same black brick, background, this has been done for a reason, this brick signifies the barriers that can prevent some small business owners from setting up a quality, dynamic, database driven website, where they can add as many new content containing posts or pages as they desire, thus providing more opportunities for the search engines to bring them even more new customers!

Bustin’ Loose defines my philosophy on what it takes to break free from the old restrictive way of doing things, such as a business that needs to break free from the hassles that operating a website can bring.

While any website can be of some value, a properly designed WordPress based site can offer things that a plane jane, old fashioned .html site cannot. There are many services out there for these “easy” sites, and yes, they are “cheap”, but, you get what you pay for, or, at least you should. With a modern, Web 2.0, dynamic database driven site, that uses a custom .css stylesheet, that makes adding new pages easy, you no longer have to pay a web designer to add each page for you, it is as simple as sending an email, just type, add images, select a category, and hit publish and it is done. A dynamic site also allows for interaction with your sites visitors, they may leave a comment about your products or services, which will encourage later site visitors to do business with you. If you sell products, you can also add this feature to your site and have a new source of sales as well that way, and, with WordPress, you may be able to use a simple plugin, and not even need an expensive shopping cart.

I could go on and on about the benefits of using WordPress as a Content Management System (CMS), but, the biggest, and best reasons are in it’s simplicity, affordability, and design, it just works better! Most plugins and themes are free, though donations are encouraged to help further development, and since WordPress is an active Open Source community, the future technologies are sure to be built in.

If you are a small business owner, you need a modern, customizable web-presence that can grow with your business, a Web Designer  and Host that is there for you, and will help you reach your goals, take a look at us, we are on your side and will help you Break Free!

BustinLooseMedia.com: Our new Parent Company!

bustinloosemedia 320x240 300x225 BustinLooseMedia.com: Our new Parent Company!After all of these years, I have finally decided to try and get paid a little bit for my work, what a concept, right? Now that I have several sites, many dedicated to website design, or promotion, I thought it would be a good time to pull it all together, under one umbrella, so to speak, so, I built another site, and this is the one that my business will be named from, BustinLooseMedia.com.

Where did I get that name, you might ask? Well, it is actually simple, the people that I most often help, are, or were, at one time, small business owners that had no concept of how they could utilize the Internet as another tool, just like a business card or newspaper ad. My goal is to help them Bust Loose from the old, and get into the new! Back when I got started, someone building a website was paid well, like $2,500 for a basic simple static html website, one with more than just a few pages that is. Times have changed, now, you can build a basic static html site, using WYSIWYG and paying a few bucks a month for hosting, but it is very limited as to what you can do.

Now that WordPress has developed into a full CMS tool, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination, and of course, your time, that is where I come in. WildWebDesigner.com builds the sites, and so on. TrafficComplex.com does the traffic promotion, and all of my other sites have the potential for generating revenue with ad space. I have one site, dedicated to the area where I live, the purpose there is to bring businesses that service our area together with those needing their services or products. I know, that sounds a bit like reinventing the wheel, but, it is not, because here in Burleson County, those without computers outnumber those with, but that is changing, so, through BurlesonCountyBusiness.com,  and BustinLooseMedia.com, I am going to Bust this place out of the old and into the new.

Recent Projects: The Fellwock Real Estate Group

fellwock fcg 600x400 Recent Projects: The Fellwock Real Estate GroupThis is a site that I did about a year and a half ago, it is a static Html site, that I also maintain and update the listings. After building this site, WordPress became a viable CMS Platform, so now, I am working on building a theme that will match this as closely as possible, as these are the colors and the layout that this company wants, that theme is a work in progress, but it is getting there. I hope to have that done in the next weeks, it wont be exact, but it will be close, and you will be able to see the flexibility of WordPress. Take a look at the site here, FellwockRealEstate.com. Post a comment and tell me what you think.
