Some clients ask me about websites in general. Questions like how do you select a website? Which is the best website technology? How much should a modern website cost? etc.

I though perhaps in this blog post I will shed some light on what are the most important aspects to be considered while choosing a website having the above mentioned questions in mind.

You might have heard about the term CMS (Content Management System) which in short refers to an application in which you can systematically create and maintain your website and its content without having any technical knowledge what so ever. Basically if you can write a word document you are able to create and maintain your website content using a CMS.

There are tons of CMS out there in the cyberspace but which one is the right one for you to use? Please note that even though anyone can benefit from the notes below,  the following suggestions are prepared for small travel agencies who do not have enough know how and expertise in this field. So what we are trying to do here is to help them get started with almost next to nothing investment in order to get a catchy and advanced website running in no time.

So you have a small travel agency and don’t really have the need to go after a specialized website build with travel agencies in mind? You just want to have a web presence and you don’t have the need to maintain 100′s of pages every day but you still want your website to look like a million dollar website. Right?

So here are some pointers for you. Well you need a CMS (Content Management System) with the following characteristics.

1. You need a CMS that is used by millions of people and further developed by thousands of other people worldwide.
2. You need a CMS that enjoys availability of millions of resources that allows the website to be enhanced by new functions, features and look and feel all the time.
3. You need a CMS that is based on technologies that are hosted and maintained many places with almost next to nothing annual hosting costs
4. Ah and before I forget, it should also be free right?

There are tons of open source CMS out there in the cyberspace that you can use. How ever there are few of these CMS that have become so popular that almost all web hosting services around the world have a simple point an click installation process offer an automate installation of these on your hosting plan.

Few of these very popular CMS are Joomla and  WordPress. And it is no surprise that this website was also made using WordPress. It costs around 5-10 USD a month to host such a website.

So how do people earn their money when all this is free you might ask. The answer is simple they earn on providing services to folks like you.  For example if you don’t know how to install or how to use the system they will do it for you and teach you how to do it for a small fee. We take 6000 DKK to help you pickup a layout, install it for you and a few hours of training to get you going. If you want, you can get in touch with us.

Some of travel agency websites we have developed with fully automated Search Engine Optimization SEO are as follows. Non of these sites need any human interaction in for SEO. The site itself is smart enough to make the optimization automatically.

For a large number of small travel agencies, Information Technology is an expensive affair. Therefore many companies stick to what they have for a very long time. Unfortunately technology has a dynamic nature and it changes rapidly and if your company does not handle this change, the consequence is that others jump ahead and you will be left behind.

One example as an area of importance is SEO or search engine optimization. SEO in simple words is an important factor for any travel company because it makes it possible for your company to be visible on the Internet.
