What can you do if you wanted a website design for your small business but you’re on a shoestring budget?

Use Wordpress.

Mark Jaquith (one of the official contributing developer to the WordPress project) reported that at the recent The Blogosphere’s Conference, one of the speakers, Guy Kawasaki, was praising Wordpress:

• WordPress lowers financial barriers to entry
• Enable people to launch sites on shoestring budgets
• The lowering of those barriers can actually enable entrepreneurs to launch a web-based business without going for funding
• If you do still need to go after VC, there’s no excuse for you not having a working version of the site with an active user community to show the VCs

Being a small business is no longer a disadvantage. And blogging for your business is no longer a “Should I?” question. But a “How do I get started now?”
