Design Yourself or Call the Professionals?
You have lots of options when it comes to building your site. Our Drag and Drop Site Builder makes it easy to create and customize a professional looking website, while blogging and content management system (CMS) options, like WordPress and Joomla, are available for quick installation via Mojo Marketplace. Your account is also compatible with web development software, and if you really want to turn heads, we offer professional design services where we make your vision a reality.
So how do you know what's right for you? The method you choose really depends on the goals you have in mind for your website. For example, you can create a fully functional blog a lot easier using WordPress than you could with expensive software like Adobe Dreamweaver. Here is a table we put together where we suggest specific tools and services that best fit particular website goals.
