There are no components downloaded which we aren&#8217;t familiar with.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also means we will host the website on the <a href=\"https:\/\/adbeyowebdesign.com\/\">ADBEYO<\/a> shared server space. This means your website is located on a computer owned by a hosting company, but registered under ADBEYO&#8217;s account.  This reduces any hosting costs that you would otherwise be likely to pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what are some of the advantages of <a href=\"https:\/\/adbeyowebdesign.com\/\">ADBEYO<\/a> building my website with Bootstrap and HTML5?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It works out cheapest for you. You pay the cost for the design and build of the site only, and don&#8217;t have to pay any monthly costs as you would if you were using a website builder like SquareSpace or Wix. <\/li><li>A website name and address is included in the price. You will need to renew this every year however, for the first year, the domain name is included in the price. <\/li><li>You&#8217;ll get as many business emails as you like &#8211; this is included in the price.  <\/li><li>Certain web-site technologies work best if you&#8217;re not using templates or a website builder.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">So what are some of the disadvantages&#8230;<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It&#8217;s difficult to update the website if you do not have web-design scripting knowledge* (see below).<\/li><li>Adding e-commerce functionality like shopping carts or booking forms require 3rd party applications, some of which have an additional cost. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updating your Website Built using Bootstrap and HTML5<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So yes, it&#8217;s more difficult to update and manage a site built in Bootstrap and HTML5 if you&#8217;re not familiar with scripting. However, ADBEYO sites come with the option of built in blogs and social media feeds and links. That means, even if you don&#8217;t want to go near the guts of your website, you can still make it seem current by updating a blog on your site, or making some social media posts which can link into your website. No techy experience needed for that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about Bootstrap here&#8217;s a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/getbootstrap.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">link<\/a> to their site and here&#8217;s a quick <a href=\"https:\/\/www.w3schools.com\/whatis\/whatis_bootstrap.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">link<\/a> to building sites using Bootstrap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When we build a site using Bootstrap and HTML5 , it basically means we are coding the site and not using any pre-designed templates or not using a web-site builder like SquareSpace or Wix.
