However, this would be no different using a custom design with any other website solution. One advantage of Rocketship is that you can use one of the pre-built designs without any knowledge of CSS–they are already implemented and ready to go with Rocketship.

Technology has really made this possible with things like VoIP, remote access to file servers, electronic documents, email to fax (and vice-versa), etc. The ability for multiple people to remotely manage centralized information, such as a website, is also critical in making the move to a nomadic workplace. This is where a web content management system can really help. It is basically software that allows you to remotely access and update your website–anytime, from anywhere. One option worth considering is called Rocketship. It is an all-in-one, hosted website solution designed specifically for small businesses. It comes bundled with a bunch of easy-to-use tools for creating and managing all sorts of web content. You can get started right away by using one of the professionally designed templates or create your own design. Probably the best thing about Rocketship is that you can have an actual website (not just a blog) up and running in a couple of hours with no prior experience (and it will look good too). Try doing that with something like Microsoft Frontpage!
