Get your website off to the right start.
Here’s a list of resources that I personally use and recommend to my clients. Some of these will give you a discount. Let me know if you try any of them, and what you think!
Web Hosting:
HostGator is the website and WordPress host I recommend to my clients… and I’ve got a discount for you! Go to HostGator.com and save 25% on hosting with coupon code HilaryLittleID.
Website Design and Development:
WordPress. It goes without saying that I am a huge fan of WordPress, the world’s most popular content management system platform. It’s free.
Themeforest is an excellent place to buy website templates and WordPress themes. It’s the largest marketplace of its kind.
Stock Photography:
iStockphoto. Sign up with iStockphoto and get access to a great library of millions of affordable, unique, royalty free images, stock photos, vector art illustations, stock music tracks, flash & video footage. My clients and friends get a bonus: 10 free photos for signing up.
Shutterstock is another great stock images seller. A wide selection of photos, video footage and vectors are available.
File Backup and Sharing:
Dropbox is indispensable for file backup and cloud storage. I use it to share client files and to save automated backups of WordPress sites. It’s free.
