Êtes-vous Prêts? Partez! This French phrase translates to "Are you Ready? Go!" It's a command that is used to start races in rowing competitions.

Website Platform
We specialize in WordPress because it is the most popular open-source website creation platform (also known as “content management system”) in the world, used by one-third of the top 10 million websites. The platform is free, supports flexible designs, is supported by most web hosting companies, and will be around for a long time. There is a large community of website developers who are proficient with WordPress, which makes it easier to find support if needed.
We apply HTML, CSS, and JavaScript to websites as needed. And we also use a few plugins for common functionality like forms, database backups, sliders, and maps. In addition to choosing the right website management system, it’s important to host your website with the right company. For small businesses and individuals with moderate website traffic, we prefer a web hosting service that offers the following:
- reasonable pricing
- outstanding support
- reputable server uptime
- fast website speed
- free security
- email hosting
- free content distribution network
We’ve used multiple hosting services and recommend SiteGround for small businesses and individuals because they score highest on the collective criteria listed above.
And finally, you will need a domain name for your website. If you don’t already have one, we can advise you on the process and best practices.
Once you’ve identified an available domain name, you will need to purchase and register it with an Internet domain registrar like GoDaddy.
These three components (content management system, web hosting service, and domain) work together seamlessly. While some companies offer one-stop-shopping for all three components, we recommend keeping them separate for greater flexibility and lower costs.
