Your Own Private Website? Yes, You Can! |
Have you ever thought about having your own website? Most people think websites are too complicated and expensive – something only big companies can afford.
The Old Way Was Expensive
Traditional website platforms come with hefty costs including hosting fees, developer fees, maintenance costs, and plugin charges. And if you want to sell products online, many platforms take a cut of every sale you make on top of all those other expenses!
The Mobile Revolution Changed Everything
Everyone has a phone these days – kids, adults, seniors. We're all connected to the internet through our mobile devices. Google noticed this shift and now requires websites to work well on phones to rank in search results.
This created Mobile First technology, a completely new way to build websites that load lightning-fast on phones, use simpler and cleaner code, cost much less to create, and are easy enough for anyone to build without special training.
You Can Build Your Own!
You don't need a developer or coding skills anymore. With Mobile First technology, you can create a personal link collection, a showcase of your work, a private social space, or even an online store. Best of all, you can keep your information private without sharing your personal data with big corporations who use it for their own purposes.
Introducing MobileFirst-Personal and MobileIntros
These platforms let you build your custom website easily and affordably. You can share it only with people you choose, whether that's friends, family, or professional contacts. You can even turn your website into a secure mobile app that creates a one-way channel of communication, protecting you from unwanted outside attention.
Your private website can be a personal space in the digital world, not a commercial venture that needs to generate income to justify its existence. Our most expensive plans offer sites for no more than 5.00 a month, with all features and modules included. No hidden fees, and no percentage taken from your sales. It's simple enough for anyone to use, yet powerful enough for any purpose you can imagine.
