Welcome to Erin Monks Codes

Hello and Welcome!

Thank you so much for visiting with us today. We are here to assist with all of your Web Design and Web Development needs. With years of background on multiple platforms, we command the versatility to build your site to your exact needs.

Check out some of the platforms we use to help make our clients’ dreams reality. Once you’ve decided which one works best for you, request your own page or use our contact form. We look forward to hearing from you!

For most independent websites and small businesses, this is the most accessible platform for its straightforward navigation and ease of use. We can help guide you through the process of creating a Wix site, or create one for you according to your needs.

Something to keep in mind, however, is Wix will be charging for Web Hosting costs on their side annually and many features are locked behind pay walls. This is not meant to discourage you from choosing them for your site, but forewarned is forearmed.

**Recommended for Personal Sites and Small Businesses without need for payment portals**

If your business is done primarily through online commerce, then Shopify is a great jumping off point. Shopify has built in payment integration, easy catalogue building to show off your products, and fully customizable themes to make your store stand out from everyone else.

Like *WIX*, Shopify does have hosting charges, but the features are more extensive and accessible for the cost. We can either assist in understanding these processes throughout the build so you feel confident taking over ownership once your shop is built, or can remain on retainer to help with business upkeep.

**Recommended if your business is exclusively online**

Not all shops are exclusively online. For individuals who sell both online and in person, SquareSpace may be the best choice. This platform allows you to accept orders online, as well as make payment in person.

This versatility has proven ideal for craft fair aficionados, swap meet sellers, and anyone else with a hybridized business.

Squarespace makes receiving payment incredibly easy, but it is worth noting that their Square POS system does have some upfront cost.

By far the most customizable of the options we offer. We have invested time and finance to bring private web hosting through BlueHost and page building with the Divi WordPress theme.

This web hosting trio is optimized to allow integration of payment portals, video and image galleries, customizable forms, and just about anything else you can think of to help your clients engage with your business.

This platform is not as accessible and user friendly as the Wix or Shopify platforms for a casual builder. For this reason, we recommend our retainer option so that we can help keep your page on the cutting edge and keep your clients engaged.

Because we host these sites privately, this option helps to keep your upfront costs down. Reach out today to find out what we can do to help bring your site to life.

**Recommended for actors, businesses of all sizes, personal sites, and many other needs**

Whatever your needs, we have an option we believe will fit just right. So what are you waiting for? Request your page Today and let’s get your business online and seen!
