Why do webmaster hate site builders so much and just refuse to build on them?

If you are new to websites you have to understand that basic hosting is just the process of leasing space on a server so you can upload files that other people can access. For the purpose of this article that is all you need to understand.

Companies like Hostgator offer some software and online tools with their package, primarily a package called cPanel which is a great tool for experienced webmasters. It allows them to install PHP modules and Perl modules, install programs like wordpress and other free programs that are bundled into the package to make it look more appealing.

Now if you don't write PHP or cgi code then there is little value to you. If you don't need to add new users, ftp accounts or change passwords for users, it has no value to you.

Of course, the experienced webmaster needs all of those sudo administrator functions because they are not "real system administrators" and they need a GUI (Graphical User Interface) that lets then run functions to make it easier.

If they knew how to install a module or configure files to set up program installs they would not need a button to click to do those things.

The cPanel interface makes it easy for them to perform functions that they don't understand and likely don't want to learn when they can just click a button.

Now pageBuzz takes over where cPanel leaves off.

There are very few people that understand php or any type of coding, css, ftp and so on. So the rest of us need tools to be able to manage our websites. To add pages, edit pages and manage an online store.

pageBuzz provides those tools as well as the programs to run your website.

Our competitors give you open source programs that anyone can download for free, programs like OS Commerce or Zen Cart, wordpress but of course they have already downloaded them and in many cases will install them for you.

However, that is where their support ends. They did not write the programs, they don't develop them so they wont help you as you use them. You are on your own trying to navigate a complicated program with absolutely no support.

So what happens when you have a question? They tell you to do a google search and see if you can find the answer.

Good luck with that.

Now companies like Godaddy do have their own tools for managing websites and ecommerce, but they charge extra for them. So the $1.99 you see advertised quickly becomes $199.00 by the time you add the tools you want.

So while you see these amazing prices for shared hosting plans, they actually offer nothing of value to the average user.

Trying to pass off wordpress as a content management system is a lot like try to pass off a moped as an SUV. If you need a vehicle to get to work each day, yes a moped is cheap and it will likely get you where you need to be, but it wont be good enough for 99% of people driving to work each day.

Most people just want a simple interface to edit pages, add pages and manage the simple website the need for their business.

They don't want to learn how to use FTP or manage files and file paths in complex directories. They want something that makes sense and tools they can just click on to do the things they want to do with their website.

So the business owners are not much different than the webmasters using cpanel to manage their website, they just have tools that do different things.

But here is what gets me going.

Those same webmasters look at pageBuzz.com or Godaddy's website tonight like some website builder for idiots.

So because you need a tool to help you build a page or make a menu for the side of the page, you are an idiot. But they are not idiots because they can't install a program without a GUI tool.

It seems like there is a double standard when it comes to what webmasters know and they don't know.

It is OK for them not to know something, but not OK if you don't know something that they do know.

Really it is just childish garbage by a bunch of insecure nerds making themselves feel better by putting down anyone that knows less than they do about anything in general.

The fact is website builders are extremely popular and in fact almost all large companies use systems so that their employees can manage websites without server access.

But for smaller companies those types of system are usually cost prohibitive. Most webmasters are not programmers and don't have the ability to create them from scratch so they don't use them at all.

That is where pageBuzz comes in, giving you those types of tools at an affordable price. A system that lets anyone build and manage an online business without being a webmaster, without downloading expensive software or learning complex coding.

It is a full set of tools to give you control of the website just like the so called professional webmasters use to manage their back end functions but in a way that you can understand.

Now, if you can click a button and build a page, webmasters don't like that one bit, because you don't need them. So they do everything in their power to put you down and make you feel like an idiot.

But remember, they use the same types of tools, so who is the real idiot?

It is really sad that so many webmasters are just against anything that is easy, because it makes what they do is not so special.

If anyone could do your job, you would feel threatened, no security and no self worth.

That is what site builders like pageBuzz do to webmasters. It takes the complex out of the task and lets anyone do it.

This is nothing new.

When DOS came out it was a command line system, you had to understand what to type and why to type it, to do anything.

Then windows shows up, easy to start, easy to click on a program and use it.

So are all the people who use windows idiots? Because the windows visual functions make using a computer easier?

The fact is, having windows changed the face of computing, because more people could do it. Anyone could use a computer not just the computer nerds.

Today we have the same scenario unfolding, webmasters that are being replaced by graphical user interfaces and they are kicking and screaming like little babys.

Every time a new program or new feature is added that makes something easier, the webmasters have a little less value. So they respond by calling people idiots, talking trash and ranting like contestants on the Jerry Springer show.

So as sane people we need to realize why this crying children are doing this and just move on.

Don't be swayed by one of these webmasters telling you that sites builders are just no good.

Because they will try to swing you to an open source program like Joomla or OS commerce because it is complicated enough that you will never understand it and always need them to make updates and changes.

While webmasters hate being replaced, if they don't start giving people what they want, there wont be a place for them at all.

If they just embraced site builders, they would realize it makes them that much more valuable, able to do more in less time and make more money.

I don't see any of them switching back to DOS from windows.

Eventually, they will come around, but right now it is more like a war between webmasters and site builders.

Sadly for the webmasters, the site builders are winning.
