A search on the Internet for ready to use websites will find several sites offering web templates that require the buyers to code up their websites, find their own hosting, register their own domain name, etc.

Some sites, such as Ready-for-Use Websites, found at http://www.readytousewebsites.biz, sell ready to use websites that include hosting, domain name registration, and a website. On inspection of various such sites offering ready to use websites, it was discovered that some contain up to 5 pages with 10 images, that are designed by the seller. One such site offered a content-management module as an add-on.

Our Ready-to-Use Websites product includes a browser-based, content-management web-application as standard. The buyer manages the entire content herself from anywhere in the world.

Let us compare prices from one of our competitors (an Australian site):
Hosting, Domain Name Registration, Website with 5 pages and 10 photos designed by the seller: AUD$495 PLUS $29.95 per month. Content Management ADD-ON: AUD$395 PLUS $29.95 per month. The total for one year is AUD$1608.80 (approx US$1217.00). Annual renewal was not mentioned on their site.

Ready-for-Use Websites Price:
Hosting, Domain Name Registration, Website with 11 or more pages (described here: http://www.readytousewebsites.biz/Features/MVC/featuresHome.php), Browser-based, Content Management web-application: US$195 for the first year. Annual renewal is US$100.

This is a fraction of the price of a competitor offering a similar product.

Our Ready-to-Use Websites are fully functional, content-management, sites that enable you to establish an Internet presence for a very economical price.

Added: 01 August 2006. I noticed another site offering template-based websites. They offer prices starting from only $249* for a basic 5 page web site. The price includes six minor changes each year. These changes are made by the host, not by the site owner. Our sites (Ready-to-Use Websites) offer you unlimited online content management by you the site owner using your browser anywhere in the world.
