Floppycats.com was founded by the simple question of how to start a website. Well, maybe not exactly. After all, we knew we wanted to make a website about Ragdolls because we loved them so. Yet the challenge was knowing how to start a website.
We looked at a number of options, including taking classes from a local community college. And we did so! However, we decided we wanted to focus more on content and Ragdoll stories, cat health, Ragdoll kitten care, etc. before we got into making the site pretty. And learning how to make the site pretty was holding us up, we just wanted to know how to start a website. So, we thought we’d look at template based website building programs. However, none seemed to address the keyword importance we had read about on Google for several months, yet there were a number that showed us how to start a website. We just wanted one that showed us how to start a website and then a little more!
We didn’t pick the best platform in the beginning, but we eventually were lead to WordPress and found out how easy it was to have a website set up through Ninja Blog Setup.
Our goal wasn’t to make money on the site, but rather to just break even so that Floppycats.com could stay online forever. Through The Blog Mastermind Coaching Program and the very helpful forums, we were able to figure out funding to start a website. We also use an awesome keyword tool, Wordtracker to find out what words people were searching for along with “Ragdoll Cat”.
We just knew that we want to make a great website all about Ragdoll cats and general cat well-being and health care, for; after all, we love cats!
While we love cats, we know other people know more than we do about certain topics and have a lot to offer to the World Wide Web, so we decided to include this page on the site to offer the Ninja Blog Setup option to others who are thinking like we did, “Hey! I could do that! I want to do that!” We’re having a blast doing this and want to share the fun.
We’re always happy to help you in any way that we can too!
