Our Technology

We use the premium website development platform available

You probably haven't heard of it, because it's just marketed to website firms, including the top firms in the world, but we call it our Online Business Partner® - it's rated as the #1 best platform for building customized websites/experience (cnet.com, 2022), the only platform to achieve Google's "Preferred" status (digital.com, 2022), and an Editors Choice for website platforms (PCmag.com, 2022).

You don't need separate hosting.  Online Business Partner includes managed cloud hosting with site editing tools for your use already built in.

What's this "managed cloud hosting"? 

First, what managed cloud hosting is not:

In the old days, the only practical option for hosting was to rent cheap disk space on a server somewhere and then have your website developer find and purchase a template to give your site its appearance, then install some hobby-grade software, available free on the Internet, and then, to make your website function as it should, the developer will need to find and install an average of 25-50 different "plug-ins" (without which your site is just a blog). 

Generally, the software and plug-ins are free or nearly so -- a big reason why so many people use them. You pay the developer to find, install, and configure them.

You also have to shell out for your web developer to take care of any but the most minor changes ($$), and for installing patches and mandatory security updates that are needed for the core system and for the 25-50 plug-ins to keep your site working and keep it from being hacked. With all those separate pieces from separate sources, you have to plan on potentially dozens of updates ($$$$) each month. The cost: Google results show that service plans averaged around $100 - $150 a month, on top of your hosting charges. (That's just for the updates, not site changes needed for changes in your business.) Not included in those service plans: Once the new "free" software has been installed, it's not uncommon for the "plug-ins" to no longer work, so some part of the website will be disabled until that hobbyist-developed component is updated by its author, or a replacement found if the author has moved on.

What managed cloud hosting is:

With the  managed cloud hosting  that we license for your website, both best practices and the capabilities needed for standard business tasks are already integrated or embedded in the hosting system itself, residing on the cloud servers that power Amazon.com. These are the "power tools" we use to build your website.

You can forget about paying an additional $50 - $150 every month for having your developer install patches or security updates - those come with the managed cloud hosting at no extra cost.

We also don't need to rely on purchased templates. We can set up your website on a design we have created just for you, and if you can use typical office software, or even typical email programs, you can update your site whenever you wish.

Here are a few of the "power tools" that are available for you and us to use on this managed cloud hosting:
