DESIGN

Selecting the right template is the most important first-step toward the creation of an impressive website.   We are constantly looking for fantastic-looking templates that can bring our client's information to life. We have hundreds of templates available to which you can choose the one that best reflects the overall theme and concept of your new website.

Our site uses a template.  In fact, if you wanted to use the same template, we would be happy to use this one for your site.  There are over 233,848,493 websites on the Internet and many use the same template as another site.  So, how does one website distinguish itself from another that uses the same template?  The answer is the content.  If you wanted to use a template like the one we use we would simply use your content, such as your text, pictures, and features to meet your needs.

Our clients get to choose from hundreds of fantastic templates at no additional cost to them (a $50-$65 value .. FREE!)  When you choose your template, we go out and purchase it for you.  Why do we pay for your first template?  Because we have found fantastic companies who offer fabulous templates!  Since you choose your own template you get the look that you want.  Since you choose MyDataWorks.net to create your site, you get it at a price you can afford!

FEATURES

At MyDataWorks, we create for our clients websites which utilize a content management system (CMS).  A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.  Have questions?   Call our voice-mail line at 206-666-6652 24/7 and we will get back to you with answers!

We do it all - right out of the box.
