website hosting

There are a million ways to make a website, but my personal favorite – and arguably the most popular – is WordPress. Because of its ease of use, price ($0.00!), and community, WordPress has been my Content Management System (CMS) of choice for every client – including nonprofits, small business, and university departments – I have worked with as a freelance web designer.

I learned today via Tech Crunch that Google Sites Become Prettier With Templates, and had a poke around in Kabissa's own Google Sites account. I found that, indeed, it is now possible to choose from a range of attractive and apparently thoughtfully designed website templates. This includes the depicted "NGO template" tailored for organizations that typically want to display the same kind of info on an impactful site.

Kabissa helped dozens of Kabissa members to migrate their websites to Media Temple grid-service. We've had a few inquiries about how to update FTP programs like WS_FTP to log into Media Temple instead of the Kabissa server from now on. The recipe is below. 

WS_FTP is quite old and no longer available as a free download - I would recommend switching to a newer program like FileZilla.

As of June 30, 2009, Kabissa is no longer hosting websites, mailing lists or email. We are still providing technical support, however, and continue to stand by to help you to connect with the best hosting providers and online services available online for creating a professional and effective presence using ICT.
