Not many realize the power of Blogger as a platform to build your online business website. Blogger is a blogging platform (owned by Google) and used by more than 1 millions users all over the world. With minor tweaks here and there, some design works plus some plugins (from us), Blogger can be a great platform for small business owner. Leveraging on the blog editor tools, business owner (without programming knowledge) can share their products or services online. With a click of a button, the contents are published online and with the built-in social media buttons, it can be shared to the world via Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus and etc.
The whole idea of using Blogger as a business website came up when a cousin of mine (Jenny, which happen to be our first client) came to me for a web design job for her home bakery business. She showed me how she is using Blogger back then to take orders and upload photos of her handmade cakes. Then, the “light-bulb” moment struck me when she asked if she could use Blogger as her business website since she is familiar with it and it’s free to use. Without giving her any specific answer, I brought the idea home and dive into research immediately. It didn’t take me too long to find out that blogger template are editable but not many knows how to do it as there is no documentation provided by Blogger. Most of the information available online are compiled by enthusiasts who have putted in hours of trial and errors.
It took us one month to learn the basics of blogger template programming code (and yes, we are still learning it today) and another one month to design and code Jenny’s website (www.intoxicaketed.com). We have came a long way and are now able to complete a job on average within 7 working days. Have completed 12 templates up to date and hopefully we can grow the list in the future. We love to demonstrate how Blogger can be simple, cost-effective and FUN to use as business website.
