The story behind Ready-to-Use Websites is this: I needed a website. I got quotes to have a website designed and built. Those quotes ranged from $3,000 to $12,000. What small or start-up business can afford prices like that and who can wait for weeks or months to have a costly website built?

I decided to build my own website. Having a background as an application developer I was in a good position to do so and I swithched over to coding XHTML (and CSS, PHP, MySQL, JavaScript, XML, AJAX, etc. if these names have any meaning to you). I built my own website and to my surprise (even though it may not have looked very professional), I started to get paid work selling stock photographs at that time.

Then I thought of helping others establish an Internet presence by providing them with domain name registration, hosting, and websites at an affordable price. To keep it affordable, I developed a concept whereby every website would be based on the same code-base or framework but with every website looking different because the site-owner selects a style, selects features, and of course uploads their own content (text, images, articles, links, etc.)

Right from the start when our product was as rough as sandpaper (not really, but it wasn't as good as it is now), we encouraged feedback and listened to our site-owner's suggestions and we have made big improvements to the product and have added many new features. We will continue to work toward providing an excellent product at an affordable price as well as providing excellent support and assistance to our site-owners so that their businesses and ventures succeed.

At R&N Collins, we can develop custom built websites and web applications if needed. We can provide hosting and domain name registration meaning that you don't need to shop around for those services if we build your website.

We have developed an awesome product, a Ready-to-Use Website that is easy, fast, affordable, and well, uhm.. ready-to-use. Read about it here or on our website.
