What better way to show your Valentine you love them than through the power of the web! 

Are you still searching for ideas to get your sweetie this Valentine's day? With this special day only a few days away we have a thoughtful and affordable idea we think you'll love! 

It’s easier than you think and here at CloudAccess.net, you can launch a Joomla or Wordpress site, both of which offer great ease of use even if you are a first timer, for free. With our staging URLs, you can launch your site for free and keep it as long as you'd like providing the site stays under 500 MB. This would be a good way to have a fun and affordable Valentine’s Day project and if you want to use your own domain name, we have affordable hosting that starts at just $10 per month, plus the cost of registering your domain name which is generally around $10 per year. Once you have chosen your site building platform (Joomla! Or WordPress) and launched your site, it's time to showcase your loving relationship. Make it fun!

Step 1

Start off by thinking about how you want your site to be laid out. The layout could include around five items or more and these would be the "menus" on your site that correspond to the different pages on your site. For instance, you could use "Home", "About Us", "Special Moments", Why I love you", "Our Gallery", etc. Each page should be thought out and created specifically for your loved one by you. If you need help along the way, we have all of our training videos on our Youtube channel or you can find individual videos for Joomla and WordPress located on our site.   

Step 2

Now that you have your main topics to use for your menu/page titles, you can work on the content. For instance, the "Home" page could include a big adorable picture of both of you or just your loved one and have it say “Happy Valentine’s day!”. This would let them know right away what the site is going to be about in general. The “About us” page could have a paragraph or two about how you met, or even just how much you love and appreciate your special someone. The other pages can be whatever you like. You could throw in a page that highlights a specific moment or trip that you went on together, making sure to include pictures and talking about things you remember. You could do a page with some home videos if you have them or an image gallery that shows your relationship over time. If you're adventurous, you could even use a website like this as a proposal opportunity if you think it fits your style! Keep in mind that since you are not using the site for a company or organization's use, there is no need to worry about your page and content quality for SEO, since this is mostly a private site. Just make sure it’s, cute, fun, attractive and thoughtful and we're sure they will love it! 

Step 3

After having created your site, you may want to personalize it even more by using your own domain name. This could be something fun like “Iloveyousweetie.com” or whatever you choose. You can check to see if your domain name is available by following the instructions located here. Or if you wish, you can keep the site on a free staging domain as mentioned above and still customize your staging URL so that it's something like “Iloveyousweetie.cloudaccess.host” just make sure to select this name when you create the free site. 

We hope this was helpful and gave you some ideas for this Valentine's day. Thoughtful websites like these are also great for other appreciation holidays as well, such as showcasing your Mom or dad on Mother’s day or Father’s day and many others!
