Iweb ok for small business website???

Hi all : ) I have no html experience and was considering paying a pro to make me a website for my business project. Then I heard about Iweb: quick and easy, perfect! I got the program and been messing with it and it is a snap. However, I can't seem to come up with anything that makes me go WOW! Perhaps it due to my lack of creativity, experience, or limitations of the program, I am not sure.
So my question is do you think Iweb is appropriate for developing a professional looking website, and if so, where could I find some examples of business sites that were produced with Iweb? Or, should I go in another direction?
Thanks!

PayPal is a great way to integrate secure payments into an iWeb site. That's the payment method that's used on http://iWebFAQ.com/PayPal. Adding PayPal to your iWeb site requires html file editing of your after Publishing. Fortunately there are many resources that will help you learn to integrate Paypal into your site. http://iWebUserSites.com is a comprehensive list of sites created with iWeb. Search through iWebUserSites.com and see what kind of business techniques/designs are included there.
Good Luck :^)
I may receive some form of compensation, financial or otherwise, from my recommendation or link.

    iWeb is not the problem when setting up form mail - MobileMe is.
    You need to publish to a good commercial hosting service that will allow you to run scripts.
    iWeb is template based but you can access the code in the published files.
    There isn't really any need to do this as far as SEO is concerned. Have a look at Rage's SEO Tool....

  • Creating a small business website...

    Hello! I would like to create a small business website using iweb. I created something simple, and I am happy with it, but I was wondering if anyone knew how I could use it with a regular website address (www.company.com) instead of web.mac.com/company and still use iweb. Any tips or advice would be great. Thanks!

  • Error when installing Lenovo solutions for small business [Screenie included]

    Hello everyone.
    Recently, I tried opening the pre-installed Lenovo solutions for Small Business software on my Lenovo e530 running Windows 7 Professional 64-bit version (Upgraded from Win 7 Home Prem 64-bit) but failed after getting a message for encountering a critical problem of some sort. I then tried restarting my computer and that did not solve the problem. And then, I decided to install an upgrade version of it from this website http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/downloads/detail.p​age?DocID=DS030146. But before that I uninstalled the previous version by uninstalling Intel Small Business advantage customizations with Revo Uninstaller and I deleted all the related folders too with a thorough scan. Out of my expection, I got this message below saying that I could not proceed due to some unspecified error. Has anyone encountered the same problem before? Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm not sure if that's my computer's problem or from the driver itself. Thank you for your attention to this issue.

    Hi, dougy
    This should be configurable under msconfig. This is a program that you can use to tell your computer which programs you want to start when Windows starts. To get to this program, type msconfig into the search bar in the Start menu. A window should appear. Check under the Startup tab and make sure that the Lenovo Solutions for Small Business program does not have a checkmark next to it. This should prevent this program from starting up when your computer turns on.
    Hope it helps,
    Adam

  • Need software to keep track of clients for small business.

    We need some way to keep up with multiple types of payments for several hundred clients, as well as the ability to make notes as needed.  We have been using ical for our notes and a simple Numbers spreadsheet, but this method is cumbersome.  I have looked at various accounting programs, but they all seem much more complicated than I need.  Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated! 

    I ran a small business, and there is no way I would have done it with iCal and Numbers.  Intuit's Quickbooks is the best program for small business.  Yes, it's probably got more than you need, but it helps pay bills, taxes, inventory, blah blah blah.  It's only $200.  They have an online version.  It links to your bank.  It links to tax software.  I can go on.  I used the enterprise version, and I'm not an accounting, and I found it a piece of cake to learn. 
    Since this is the forum for the Macbook Pro, you're really not going to find much info here.  Go to the Intuit Quickbooks website, and do a test run.  Trust me, if  you want to make a profit and pay bills on time, get a real program.  Quickbooks is one of the cheapest but still the best out there. 

  • Create mailing list for small business - no podcast or blog

    For a small business website.
    I need to create 2 boxes on my "mailing list" page that visitors can type in 1. their name, 2. their email address.
    So far I can't figure out how to do this so that when this page comes up you can scroll over the box and the text cursor shows up for visitors to type details.
    I understand how to add a "subscribe" button with HTML code method as used for paypal buttons, and think this would be the same for a "subscribe" button?
    If anyone could help that would be great!

    I worked it out! The whole mailing list form with boxes for name and email and "subscribe" button comes in one HTML code from your mailing list supplier! YAY!

  • What does "Personal Use Only" for small business owners mean?

    For small businesses or Sole-Proprietors, computers they use for business are also the machines being used for personal use. If I understand the new Mac App Store license correctly, you cannot ethically purchase an app on the App Store that will be used for business use. If that is the case, the greatest oxymoron is that they have a "Business" section in the App Store.
    I truly LOVE how easy the App Store makes managing one's apps, but if I have to now deal with seperating all purchases based on it's overall use, they have just complicated the small business scene for small business owners.
    I fully understand them wanting to discourage a large business from purchasing, for example, Aperture, once and installing it on 100+ machines. But if that is what they're trying to avoid, why not be more specific in the terms of the updated App Store license info. Instead, they are shooting down any and all use of anything purchased in the App Store for business.
    Any other small business owners facing the same situation?

    Here is a clause from the Terms and Conditions, which can be found at http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#APPS
    *Begin quote*
    (ii) If you are a commercial enterprise or educational institution, you may download a Mac App Store Product for use either (a) by a single individual on each of the Mac Product(s) that you own or control, or (b) by multiple individuals on a single shared Mac Product that you own or control. For example, a single employee may use a Mac App Store Product on both the employee’s desktop Mac Product and laptop Mac Product, or multiple students may serially use the Product on a single Mac Product located at a resource center or library.
    *End quote*
    It seems that as long as you abide by these guidelines, you can use App Store apps for business.

  • So is iWeb worthless for a business???

    It seems that an iWeb site for a business would be counter productive since iWeb renders all the text as .png's. It seems that search engines won't do an adequate service for business web sites???
    Is there some work around for this problem??? I would like to use iWeb but will probably switch do to this search engine problem?
    Correct me if I am wrong? I really want to use iWeb??
    thanks,
    mark

    Thanks for the input so far. I did do a search last night looking for a work-around for the search engine issue. I fell asleep sometime during my search. I was unable to find any work-around to my original question.
    I will do another search later, but if anyone off the top of their head knows a work-around I would greatly appreciate it.
    The web site that I did is http://www.warrguitars.com I like the presentation that iWeb gives me. I also like the blog and podcast features. Yes I had to do some work arounds but so far I have that under control.
    As far as the .png and IE issue, I found iWeb Optimizor which changes .png's to jpg's. I will check that out.
    Now if only I can get the search engines to see text or something???
    Thanks,

  • Router for small business Internet connection

    One of our clients recently switched ISPs to Speakeasy who installed a Hatteras HN 407 bridge. We have had Internet connectivity problems using their SonicWall 3060 firewall, and we experienced similar problems when attempting to use a newer Sonicwall TZ180. We temporarily installed a Linksys W54GT router, which has been working perfectly; however, we would like to have a more robust router for their 25 user network - additional security options, performance, VPN, two WAN connections, etc. Can you recommend a small business router with 2 WAN connections? This customer has a business ethernet 3Mbps (up and down) Internet connection, uses an online medical scheduling program, normally has 10 - 20 uses using the Internet connection and will be installing a backup DSL line that we would like to use for load balancing.

    Our recommendation for Dual WAN would be RV082 This would be the prefect VPN router for small  Business and if you are looking for more ports on  the Ethernet, then we would recommend the RV016

  • Twist/S230u bug: cannot start Lenovo Solutions for Small Business after installing updates

    An issue may happen after running ThinkVantage System Update and selecting all available updates.  After rebooting, Lenovo Solutions for Small Business will fail to launch.  This issue happens because of a failure during one of the updates.
    To fix the issue, download and install the Intel MEI driver.  Although this software is already installed on your system, it is in a broken state.  Installing it again will fix it, and let Lenovo Solutions for Small Business run successfully.

  • Can I use acrobat pro 7.0 for small business company?

    Hi,
    We want to use acrobat pro 7.0 at our company. The link is https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/entitlement/index.cfm?pid=2026489&e=cs2_downloads where I downloaded.
    I read license term for this. I've not found license policy for small business company. Is this product free for any persons?
    Please reply for me.
    Thank you!
    -Matthew-

    you're welcome, but no, acrobat 7 cannot legally be used by non-licensed users for any length of time.
    and while there are non-current adobe trial versions available back to certain versions, for acrobat, version 8 is the oldest trial version available.  so, you can legally download and use (for 30 days) unlicensed acrobat versions, 8, 9, X and the current version XI.
    the acrobat pro 7 that adobe is making available is only legal to use by licensed acrobat 7 owners.  it is not legal to use for 30 days, or any other duration (limited or not), for non-licensed users.

  • What database do apple recommend for small business?

    what database do apple recommend for small business?

    The only real choice is FileMaker Pro unless you are a programmer. There are other databases but they are either very light weight or something a programmer would be required to set up.

  • I dont need CC - only Ps for small business

    How to order only Ps for small business - 3 lisences?
    Would be nice to administer them from a team account, not buy 3 different lisences.

    You'll need to call Adobe.  We fellow users only see what you see on Adobe's web site.
    Keep in mind that if you don't subscribe, you will NOT be able to get the latest software.  You can only buy a perpetual license for Photoshop CS6, which is growing more out of date each day.  There are actually substantial improvements in Photoshop CC - things like high quality true deconvolution in Smart Sharpen, detail-preserving upsampling, image straightening features in Camera Raw, new smart object features, greater use of the GPU to speed things up, etc.

  • Should I buy CC for small business or for an individual? I am a freelance graphic designer.

    I am a graphic design but I work on my own. I just purchased CC for small business but now suddenly wonder if I should have purchased for an individual as I have no team.

    Hi Aridne,
    You can follow the discussion: Creative cloud team vs individual membership where the difference between both the plans are clearly mentioned.
    You can choose the one which suits your needs the best.
    Let us know if you still have any queries regarding the same.
