It's not news anymore.

The problem with getting online, to many Texas small businesses, is that they don't know where to start.

"Small businesses think it's difficult to get on the Web because they don't have a dedicated IT guy," said Steve Grove, Google's head of news and politics for its YouTube online video operation. "But getting online is easy." (Statesman.com)

That's the truth. In fact, a Texas small business doesn't have to have an IT guy at all. These days, even if you don't call yourself tech-savvy, you can still build your own small business website. But how?

It depends on your niche.

If you're a Texas lawyer, you don't need an ecommerce site. But you may need a informational brochure site, describing the services that you offer. There are plenty of ways you can do this: you can create a simple basic one page website from Godaddy (with just the purchase of your domain name), or build with Yola via drag-and-drop. It may take a while to explore the possibilities, but creating a website for your Texas small business is definitely possible.

Not being tech-savvy shouldn't be the biggest hurdle when giving your business a better exposure to online shoppers. Hopefully, the articles in our blog as well as links to various service providers and Texas web designers can help you get started.
