Easy Ways of Having Websites
Today you can have a website built for you without much cost and delay, very easy. Webdesigners can build nice looking sites, that's the easy part of it.But you want a site that gives free targeted traffic from the search engines to increase your profits without the high cost and effort of traditional marketing means, provides you with an additional consistent stream of leads and sales, serves as a buffer against global economic recessions, and low business patronage, and establishes your business for you.Then you must look out for expert site builders with proven records of excellence.
You must understand that it is a rip off to get companies to design websites for you. Have you ever seen those advertisements in newspaper classified ad sections that offer a 5-page website at $500? These companies are established companies with physical locations, therefore they have to increase the amount they charge to pay off some overheads: office rent, designer's wages, advertising costs and so on.
Therefore, it would be wise to find freelance designers who work from home. These people are often working from home so they do not have a high operation cost like that of a company. On the other hand, they will be able to design images with quality similar to those of designers from big companies.
However, choose freelancers with care. The best way to do this would be to go to elance.com. There, you can post the abstract of your project and get thousands of
freelancers to bid on your project, so you will surely get the best deal. On top of that, you will be able to choose the designers based on their experience, past transactions and ratings, so your value for money is secured.
You can take some Time to design your website yourself. Think about it, if you only need 5 simple pages to present some simple information, why waste hundreds of dollars for it? Just spend a little time to sit down and do it yourself. You'll be able to design your own sites even if you do not know a single line of HTML code with the help of WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) programs such as Microsoft Front page, Macro media Dream weaver and so on. Normally, if you want to have professional designers custom build your site, you must be prepared to dish out at least a few hundred dollars. All this can change if you know where to find the best deals, the best designs for the lowest price.
To ypour success.
How to Design a Website
To make sure a website performs optimally to serve its purpose for which it was
designed, the following guide must be followed accurately.
1. Have a simple and clear navigation.
You have to provide a simple and very straightforward navigation menu so that even a
young child will know how to use it. or multitiered drop down menus. If your visitors don't know how to navigate, they will leave your site.
2.Stay away from complicated Flash based menus.
3. In adding audio,provide some control over it,volume or muting controls would work fine.
4. Do not use excessive banner advertisements.
Even the least net savvy people have trained themselves to ignore banner advertisements so you will be wasting valuable website real estate. Instead, provide more valuable content and weave relevant affiliate links into your content, and let your visitors feel that they want to buy instead of being pushed to buy.
5. Have a clear indication of where the user is at a moment.
When visitors are deeply engrossed in browsing your site, you will want to make sure
they know which part of the site they are in at that moment. That way, they will be
able to browse relevant information or navigate to any section of the site easily. Don't confuse your visitors because confusion means "abandon ship"!
6. Do not use splash pages.
Splash pages are the first pages you see when you arrive at a website. They normally
have a very beautiful image with words like "welcome" or "click here to enter". In fact, they are just that, pretty vases with no real purpose. Do not let your visitors have a reason to click on the "back" button! Give them the value of your site up front without the splash page.
7. Avoid using audio on your site.
If your visitor is going to stay a long time at your site, reading your content, you will want to make sure they're not annoyed by some audio looping on and on on your website.
