Web Site Planning and Design

Important Notes

The web hosting accounts we provide allow you to completely manage the operation and design of your web site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. In otherwords, you do not need to use our in-house site planning and design services in order to have a PeoplesWare.com web hosting account. Instead, you may design your web site yourself (as many people do) using the web site design software that you are most comfortable with. We list some popular web site design software here.

For your added convenience, our web hosting accounts include Microsoft FrontPage Extensions and the Joomla! Content Management System (CMS). In addition, for all accounts except the iStarters and Windows Hosting, we include SiteBuilder, which is a comprehensive web-based HTML construction set, allowing you to easily build and maintain your web site via a web browser.
