What web design software can you use or should you get it all done for you?

What web design software should you use for your website development and design? Whoa, before you take off! You can get is all done for you without breaking into the bank.
A successful business guy once told me, over a cup of coffee in a McDonald's, don't mess with stuff you don't know, get it done for you and use your valuable time doing what you know well. The coffee was not good (long time ago in the pre- McCafe days), but the advice was excellent. I agreed and it sounded logical and I still went out and messed with stuff I should have passed on to someone else. It is in my nature to get curious about something and then get lost in it and neglect earning money to pay the bills. So maybe you should start your online business opportunity by getting someone with a lot of knowledge who can do it a lot quicker than you, and do it a lot better than you. Someone who can design a search engine friendly site. Someone who understand what Google and Yahoo and Bing expect from a site.

You have a few options.

1. Get one of the biggest and best Business Web Design companies in the world to do it all for you

You can pick someone like SiteSell to do it all for you from US$1,500 for a complete site optimised for the search engines . Very experienced people with ample proof of success. Domain name registration and web hosting are included in the price.

2. Get me to do it for you

I do interactive websites from $300 up. Websites where you can take control once I deliver it to you. You can log in as administrator and update your site. You can add content, delete it or edit it. Your associates and web clients can also log in and subcribe to a newsletter, or make comments or say their piece in an online forum.
You can pick from different templates and you can add your colours and logo to personalise it.

I also can set up e-commerce sites for you complete with shopping carts and secure payment systems such as PayPal.

Place some of your advertising in FLASH movies. I can customise these movies to suit your requirements and they can be used as attachments to emails to prospective clients.

There is one little hitch which many web developers don't mention at this stage of their sales pitch. What about search engine optimization (SEO) for you. This is usually the grey area of web design. It will cost you a minimum of US$300 for the tools to do it proper and it will take up a lot of someone's time and preferably the someone is very knowledgable on what needs to be done.
Making the website is the easy bit, getting it on page 1 of the search engines is the hard part. You can pay for your ads to appear on page 1, but you still need proper keyword research to draw the right customers to that page.
Authorised Google re-sellers can charge about $5,000 upwards for looking after this part of your online business for a year. I recommend you get this important part of your business done by someone trusworthy and someone who knows what to do. There are many cheap alternatives online with cheap promises and cheap results. Watch out! Your stay on page 1 may be short, too short.

Contact me to discuss all this with you and i may offer you some options.

3. Do it yourself with all the information and tools to get it done

You can build your own website if you can make documents in a word processor like MS WORD. You can use the SBI! tools and information to do your own keyword research and other search engine optimization.
