Oudney's Studios

Oudney's Studios specializes in creating gorgeous, engaging websites with custom content management systems (CMS, software that enables easy management of your website content without a web developer), and we’ve found that Blogger can be a great platform for web development when a custom CMS isn’t needed. Blogger provides a ton of functionality and design freedom for our clients, and not just for blogs!

Unexpected, right? Using blog software for a website?

(To be really amazed, check out some of the gorgeous sites we've built on Blogger. You can also learn lots of tips and tricks for Blogger by visiting our other blog, HelpBlogger 24.)

You can do some amazing things with Blogger

Most users do not realize the value and flexibility that Blogger offers, including free hosting, complete customization, personalized domain options, WYSIWYG editor and more. Because Blogger is a Google product, you can also easily integrate with other Google services such as: Google+, Google Analytics, Google Webmaster Tools, Google Docs, AdSense, Picasa and more. All of this is available free of charge while providing a simple, easy authoring environment for the small business owner.

As a web development firm, Blogger provides us with a different value proposition.

When we discuss a Blogger-based solution to a client:

• we can provide my company’s services to customers at a lower price point while maintaining full creative freedom and giving them a basic but user-friendly CMS
• we don’t need to set up a paid hosting account for my client (avoiding the associated headaches)
• we don’t need to worry, or have the client worry, about security patches or upgrades
• we don’t have to be concerned about uptime and availability
• we can show the client drafts while we develop by keeping the site invitation-only until it is ready to go public
• we can easily transfer ownership and management of the site to my client or keep us both as co-administrators.

 It can be hard to envision a platform’s potential from a list of features and value propositions, so here are some examples of websites Oudney's Studios has done recently for a number of business.
