How Do Shark Tank Entrepreneurs Build Their Websites? via Entrepreneur Magazine

I’m a huge fan of Shark Tank – it’s a lot of fun as a show – though I hate the idea of selling off massive shares of my business to someone I hardly know – the model for seeking venture capitalists could work for some things.

I will say – I do have experience building websites that can handle the traffic after a major television appearance – much like the Shark Tank folks.. (See http://www.justinwilloughby.com )

If you are going to build a business, you are going to have to build a website. So, where do you start? How do you even begin?

If you aren’t going to build your own website one line of code at a time — engineers get paid top dollar to do this — then you are going to need a content management system, or “CMS” for short. That’s a computer application that allows you to operate a website without necessarily having to be an engineer. You use CMS to publish and edit online content.
