Brown Bag Websites - Unpacking Simplicity for Your Online Presence
It all started with Lewis and Tina Bonin, a husband-and-wife team who spent their days on the road as over-the-road truckers. Now, Lewis had this fascinating hobby – coding websites. For years, he'd tinker and build in his spare time, and the idea of turning it into a business would occasionally pop into his head. But with the demands of a full-time trucking job, it always seemed like a hurdle too high to jump.
Then, a friend reached out to Lewis needing help with a website. Lewis, always ready to lend a hand, agreed. His approach was clever. He decided to build it using a content management system, thinking that down the line, his friend could take over the reins and manage the site themselves. And you know what? It worked incredibly well!
This got us thinking. What if we could take this idea and expand on it? We envisioned creating structured website frameworks, the kind of content you see on pretty much every site. Think about it – almost every website has an "About Us" page. A restaurant needs a menu, and a church often has a weekly bulletin and service times listed.
The concept was to essentially pre-build websites with as many of these common elements as possible. The idea was to hand over a site that was practically ready to go, just waiting for the client to add their specific information. It was a bit like a cookie-cutter approach, but with the important ability to customize things like images and colors to make it their own.
That's how Brown Bag Websites was born. We wanted it to be like opening a sack lunch – everything you need is right there, ready to get started. And to make it even easier, we decided to combine this structured approach with detailed, step-by-step tutorials. This way, folks wouldn't need to rely on a separate website administrator. To top it all off, we added a complete hosting service with round-the-clock tech support, making it a truly all-in-one solution.
So, here's how it works. You get in touch with us, tell us what you're looking for, and we'll install your website, set up some initial customizations, and point you to the tutorials you need to start adding your content. From that point on, you're in the driver's seat. You can stick with the original structure we provided, or as you get more comfortable with your content management system, you can start to reshape and grow your website in whatever way you like.
And that's our story. From the highways to the internet, we wanted to create something simple and accessible, empowering you to build your online presence without all the fuss. We're here to hand you the bag, ready for you to unpack your online poteinitial.
