Finding Your Perfect Website Solution

Medium to High End Solutions for Solopreneurs and Individuals

In our previous issue, we discussed the entry-level plans tailored for individuals, solopreneurs, and side hustles seeking an online presence. Today, we'll delve into our medium to high-end solutions, designed to empower your business growth, speed your personal customization of your phone and increase your personal digital footprint.

As your venture progresses, you may find yourself requiring multiple websites to cater to various aspects of your business or personal needs. Our Personal plan, initially crafted for this purpose, was discussed last issue. It is a robust but not complete platform useful for growing personal digital presence for those who don't want to get involved with coding and other web designer problems, but need a full circle website structure.

It offers five blank websites, enabling you to create a diverse array of site styles and establish an integrated digital presence. But is mostly designed to fulfill the needs of an individual who wants to do the work themself without recourse to expensive outside services.

However, for those seeking a more robust and powerful online presence, we've created the Educator and Commerce plans, both available at $20 per month or $200 annually, saving you two months' worth of fees.

The Educator plan is tailored for teachers, coaches, and educators, allowing them to create up to ten websites dedicated to their courses and educational materials.

Conversely, the Commerce plan caters to businesses focused on building multiple e-commerce stores, offering the same allotment of ten blank websites optimized for advanced online selling.

If you're an individual unsure of your needs but desire access to our full platform's capabilities across four websites, the Solo2 plans at $20 per month or 200 annually might be the perfect fit. These plans double the number of blank websites to use in developing a website set by a webmaster who needs full features but reasonable costs for the online presence. The main difference is that the number of websites available are doubled from 2 to 4.

For those requiring an even more comprehensive solution, the Influencer plan is the ultimate choice. At $30 per month or $300 annually, you gain access to our entire platform, including all modules, templates, and widgets, with the ability to create up to 20 blank websites and unlimited pages per site. This plan empowers you to build your online presence without limitations, catering to the most demanding business or personal requirements.

Our platform is designed to grow with your ambitions, offering scalable solutions that adapt to your evolving needs. Whether you're a solopreneur, educator, or an e-commerce powerhouse, we have a plan tailored to your specific goals.

Embrace the digital highway with confidence, and let MobileFirst-Personal Websites be your trusted companion on this exciting journey.

Sincerely,

Steve Pond

Unleashing Your Digital Creativity:

Our Personal Editor: Crafting Websites Tailored to Your Needs

In today's digital landscape, websites come in various styles and flavors, serving diverse purposes. From digital business cards to comprehensive e-commerce platforms, the possibilities are endless. However, before the advent of mobile-first technology, creating a viable website was an excruciating process, accessible only to advanced programmers and web developers.

With MobileFirst-Personal, you can seamlessly create a website that aligns with your unique requirements, whether you're a teacher seeking to establish an online course, an employer aiming to share knowledge, or an entrepreneur looking to launch a full-blown e-commerce store. Our platform streamlines the logistics, ensuring that you can effortlessly track student progress, implement membership platforms, and manage complex e-commerce operations without the need for extensive coding knowledge.

Unleash Your Creativity with Unparalleled Flexibility

At MobileFirst-Personal, we understand that your online presence should reflect your distinct vision and cater to your specific needs. Whether you wish to offer information free of charge as a passion project or establish a commercial enterprise, our platform empowers you to shape your digital footprint accordingly.

Unprecedented Affordability and Accessibility

Unlike traditional web development solutions, MobileFirst-Personal offers an unparalleled value proposition. With our Solo M plan, you can create two versatile blank websites for just $10 per month, each imbued with the power to evolve into any desired format. This unmatched affordability and accessibility empower individuals and solopreneurs to establish a robust online presence without breaking the bank.

Embrace the Power of Individuality

We believe in the power of the individual and their ability to accomplish great things, regardless of team size. Our platform enables you to build a website that seamlessly integrates with your mobile phone, enhancing your digital experience in unprecedented ways. Whether you seek to provide a service for yourself or the world at large, if it can be hosted on the internet, MobileFirst-Personal can bring it to life.

Coding Optional, Customization Unlimited

For most requirements, coding is optional with our platform. You can start from scratch and use your intuition to build a few pages or even a hundred. If you desire additional features or customizations, our comprehensive platform can accommodate your needs seamlessly. While our site is fully compatible with CSS for advanced modifications, it's not a necessity for most purposes.

From Scratch to Masterpiece: Unleash Your Webmaster Potential

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced webmaster, MobileFirst-Personal empowers you to create the website of your dreams. Build from scratch without coding or craft a masterpiece using the full power of CSS and custom implementation. Our intuitive web user interface makes anyone capable of becoming a webmaster, allowing you to create precisely the website you require.

At MobileFirst-Personal Websites, we've reimagined web design from the ground up, recognizing it as a personal pursuit that fulfills the actual needs of individuals and solopreneurs. While our platform can accommodate the features required for multimillion-dollar storefronts, we understand that the internet's actual requirements have evolved to cater to small businesses and individuals.

Empowering the Local and the Individual

Many multinational corporations and established businesses have invested substantial resources into cutting-edge website design and creation. However, the same cannot be said for smaller local businesses and individuals providing vital services within their communities. Often, these entities lack the financial resources to match the online presence of larger corporations, yet they still require an affordable and accessible web presence.

MobileFirst-Personal Websites bridges this gap by offering a simple user interface that empowers anyone with a bit of computer savvy to build a website on their own, without the barriers of coding or other complexities that have traditionally hindered entry for smaller players.

While our platform may not match the intricate bells and whistles offered by modern graphic designers and advanced web developers, it is more than capable of delivering the essential elements you've come to expect. Leveraging CSS, a form of coding that dictates page display, our platform allows for advanced customization without the need for extensive technical expertise.

Empowering Solopreneurs and Side Hustlers

We recognize that most solopreneurs and side hustlers have more time than money to invest in their businesses initially. These individuals are our target clients – people who need a website and are willing to dedicate a few hours to learning how to build it themselves for the long term.

The Digital Business Card: Your Flagship Site

At the heart of our offerings lies the Digital Business Card, our flagship site designed to cater to your promotional needs. Highly adaptable and flexible, this site allows you to present yourself effectively. Whether you're a salesperson showcasing your wares, an artist displaying a portfolio, or a small business highlighting your services, the Digital Business Card empowers you to communicate your unique value proposition in a way that resonates with your target audience.

Creating Websites for your Requirements

At MobileFirst-Personal Websites, we've reimagined web design from the ground up. We perceive web design as a more personal pursuit that caters to the actual needs of individuals and solopreneurs. While our platform can easily accommodate and deliver the features required for a multimillion-dollar storefront, a digital highway destination, the actual requirements for the internet have narrowed down in many cases to the needs of small businesses and individuals.

While many multinational, well-funded corporations and established businesses have invested substantial amounts of money in the design and creation of cutting-edge websites, the same cannot be said for smaller local businesses and individuals who provide vital services within their communities. They often lack the deep pockets required to match these websites but still require an affordable online presence.

MobileFirst-Personal Websites is here to bridge that gap. Our simple user interface empowers anyone with a little computer savvy and determination to build a website on their own, without the coding or other barriers that have often hindered entry for the little guy. Can you build a website with all the bells and whistles that modern graphic designers and advanced web developers can offer? Not unless you possess their expertise. However, our platform is more than capable of delivering all the elements you've seen before, typically through CSS (Cascading Style Sheets), a form of coding that dictates how pages display. While CSS is not easy and often unnecessary for smaller business needs, our platform simplifies the process.

Most solopreneurs and side hustlers have more time than money to invest in their business until they begin to realize sales and a return on their efforts. These individuals are who MobileFirst-Personal sees as our clients – people who need a website and are willing to spend a few hours learning how to build it themselves for the long term.

The most crucial aspect of this is the site they build to promote themselves. MobileFirst-Personal has solved this problem by offering the Digital Business Card as the flagship site for their requirements. It is highly adaptable and flexible in how you can present yourself. Salespeople need to showcase their wares, artists need to display a portfolio, and small businesses need to highlight their services in a way they can understand and modify as circumstances dictate.

on't have the budget to have someone else do the work for you. Plus, if you understand how you created the site, you can modify it with ease and minimal time and effort. The editor sizes to the actual device it's being employed on. A business card can be modified while waiting in an office for an interview to meet the exact requirements demanded by the particular occasion, if required.

No other website platform offers that flexibility or power to modify on the fly. Traditional editors must be used on a full-sized desktop to be useful.

Interesting Facts

Establishing a Calendar for your website - Newsletter - February 18, 2025

For Beginners and Novices

Establishing a Calendar for your website

MobileFirst-Personal Websites offers an integrated widget called the booking widget, designed to function as a comprehensive calendar for personal and business use. Unlike many calendar products that are plug-ins or add-ons requiring additional monthly fees, the booking widget is seamlessly integrated into the MobileFirst-Personal platform and included in your subscription plan.

While the booking calendar shares similarities with calendar tools offered by other website editors, MobileFirst-Personal's platform provides unique advantages to webmasters. As a standard calendar, it enables appointment scheduling for public-facing websites. However, MobileFirst-Personal's website editor is designed for both solopreneurs and individuals, offering inherent flexibility to use the calendar for personal and professional purposes.

For Personal Use

The booking widget transforms into a powerful personal scheduling tool when used on a private website. Webmasters can enter events, appointments, and reminders just like a standard calendar application, but with the added convenience of accessing and editing the data from any browser-enabled device – desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or tablet. This multi-browser accessibility empowers users to manage their schedules seamlessly, regardless of their location or device.

For Business Use

In a professional setting, the booking widget becomes a robust appointment scheduling solution. Clients or customers can easily book appointments or services directly through the website, streamlining the scheduling process and reducing administrative overhead. The calendar's integration with the MobileFirst-Personal platform ensures seamless data synchronization across all devices, allowing business owners and staff to stay updated on appointments and schedules in real-time.

Furthermore, the booking widget can be customized to align with the brand's visual identity, enhancing the overall user experience and reinforcing brand consistency across all customer touchpoints.

By leveraging the power of an integrated widget calendar, MobileFirst-Personal Websites empowers users to efficiently manage their personal and professional lives, reducing the need for multiple disparate scheduling tools and promoting a seamless, organized experience across all devices and platforms.

Comprehensive Scheduling Solution

The booking widget is a powerful tool that allows you to seamlessly integrate scheduling capabilities into your website, catering to both business and personal needs.

Adding Scheduling to Any Website

The booking widget enables you to create multiple calendars on your website, each dedicated to tracking a specific type of event, such as interviews, support calls, or a wide range of other appointment categories. This segregation ensures that events are organized and easily identifiable, a common practice among website editors.

Personalized Scheduling Experience

However, MobileFirst-Personal Websites takes the booking widget to the next level, particularly for private, individual sites designed to enhance the mobile user experience. In these personalized environments, the limits of traditional scheduling widgets are relaxed, allowing you to capture a broader array of events tailored to your unique needs.

Flexible Data Entry

With the booking widget, data entry becomes a seamless process. You can easily input event details directly into the form fields, providing a centralized location for managing your schedule. Additionally, the widget offers the option to receive email notifications for new event requests, ensuring you never miss an important appointment.

Seamless Access Across Devices

One of the standout features of the booking widget is its integration with the MobileFirst-Personal platform and the handheld editor. This integration empowers you to access and manage your calendar from anywhere, using any browser-enabled device, including desktops, laptops, mobile phones, or tablets. Whether you're on the go or at your desk, your schedule is always at your fingertips, ensuring you stay organized and up-to-date.

Tailored to Your Needs

The booking widget is highly customizable, allowing you to adapt it to your specific requirements. You can configure the widget to display only the information relevant to your needs, streamlining the user experience and ensuring a clutter-free interface.

By leveraging the power of the booking widget, MobileFirst-Personal Websites provides a comprehensive scheduling solution that seamlessly blends business and personal needs. Whether you're managing appointments for your professional services or organizing your personal life, the booking widget offers a flexible, accessible, and user-friendly platform to keep you on track and in control of your schedule.
