is a free app with a few useful features. You can choose to pull a website right into the Facebook app. But be aware that most websites are larger than the 810-pixel maximum size, so you’ll have scroll bars showing

I doubt many people will have a knowledge of anything non-wordpress. My question is, WHY AREN'T YOU USING WORDPRESS!?

If you're looking for a decent WYSIWYG (I think that's what they are called) web page editor then I'd recommend Web Page Maker. It allows you to drag and drop page elements. It will do you wonders if you are determined to shy away from Wordpress. Only $50 now apparently. It's also a very light weight software. I've been using it since 2010. I haven't been using it well until recently. Starting to use it for some more niche and specific websites. I've found a pretty simple HTML website will work better for a few of my artists than a Wordpress site. Less up keep and all that.

Here's a link to WPM - Web Page Maker : Make your own web page easily!

If you're ever looking for good codes though (i.e. a video player), always search for the open source stuff. It's always a gold mine of great plug ins (or code for you non-Wordpressers).

If you're looking for tips on ways to improve your website itself... I've checked it out numerous times over the years. Checking it now and you definitely need to put a mailing list sign up in your right hand sidebar. Your average visitor will not have seen the top logo where it says "Sign up to the mailing list"... Also, the header has no way to sign up... No link? Where do I sign up? I'd also go as far and say that you should move your navigation bar to go across the top, rather than on the left. It feels a bit outdated going down the left hand side to click around. The navbar itself needs a re-design too. I have to highlight each link to find out what the page is?? It's all about making it easy for the visitor.

If you ever feel like my advice is of worth and want any more, feel free to PM/e-mail me. I'd be happy to help. Especially if something specific is needed.

no need to change content management systems, as long as the template you decide to use meet certain requirements for accomplishing your exact objectives. since you goal is to gain more and more return traffic, i suggest getting more involved with networking online. each social network prefers that you use their platform over the other; and after The Social Network came out, is seemed everyone in the world wanted to start their own or join one.

in order to gain repeat traffic you must look at the things that keep people coming back to websites. this means that you must have something on your that your audience wants to repeatedly see. it also helps to generate a large amount of traffic through your online campaigns. check your PM, i've sent you a link worth checking out that can dramatically help with your social media efforts. i'm not sure if you've affiliated your website yet, get at me for some pointers with that.

i'm getting back into article writing and placement for producers, artists and companies, another good way to keep people coming back and recommending new visitors.
