Developing And Maintaining Your Web Site(s)
Lets face it your website is the first start to
Establishing your presence on the Internet.
You have three options. Learn the Secrets Web Design and HTML
to create your own web site, hire someone to do it for you
or... Use Web Building
Automation Tools and Software. There are
advantages and disadvantages to all.
As a rule it's in your best interest to maintain control
over as much of your business as possible. Any time you
rely on someone else for anything, you're opening the door
to potential problems that you may not have any control
over.
Some of your major decisions are what to do yourself and
what to farm out. Unless you simply don't have the time or
resources to accomplish a task efficiently you should do it
yourself.
The Internet is ever changing and it is important to keep
control and have the ability to change rapidly. Even
if you do not build your website yourself it will help if
you learn the basics of HTML.
You may want to consider hiring a web design firm to create
your web site. Or you may want to do it all yourself. It
depends on you, your business, and your individual
situation.
HTML is not difficult to learn and there are many online
resources to teach you everything you'll need to know. Here
are some good places to learn HTML.
Bookmark this site, and if you don't know anything about
HTML now, plan on spending the a few days going through
their tutorials and learning everything you can. You will
profit from the knowledge you gain here for many years. If
you are going to make a living on the internet this is one
of the wisest investments in time you can make.
You will always be searching for tips and learning new
tools and techniques for web site design and publishing.
If you decide to develop your web site in house, you may
want to consider using what is known as a WYSIWYG HTML
editor - software that will aid in the rapid development of
your site. WYSIWYG stands for "What You See Is What
You Get" and it refers to the fact that when using a
WYSIWYG HTML editor, creating your web pages is almost as
effortless as using your favorite word processor.
Using such a program allows you to type the written content
as you want it to appear on your web pages in plain
English. It also allows you to drag and drop images from
your desktop to your web pages, easily create links between
your web pages, and everything else that's involved. As you
go along, the software automatically converts your actions
into the HTML code that is required to display your pages
on the web.
Using these WYSIWYG website creation programs just about
anyone to put up a decent looking site without knowing much
HTML.
FrontPage is probably the best know of these programs.
Some other popular programs are below. Each one offers a
free trial version available via download at their website.
Adobe PageMill
A very solid choice, especially if you already run Adobe
applications on your computer.
DreamWeaver
Dreamweaver is a choice among many advanced designers.
HomeSite
Now the choice of many webmasters, as it produces 'clean'
html unlike FP which has been known to be
"bloated" with unnecessary code.
As you learn the basics of HTML, and get your first web
site online you will discover you also need to know about
things like things like creating graphics, CGI scripts,
Java and more. The more you learn now, the less you'll have
to rely on others later - and the more control you'll have
over your online business.
No matter how you decide to go about it there is one truth
building a website...a web site is never
"finished."
There are some good options for those that
either do not have the time or do not want to learn all
that is needed to build your website.
The best option is Site
Build It.

No matter who you are, or what your html and Search Engine
skills are, you can build your own traffic-building
site by using Site Build It!...which includes your
own domain name and catchall e-mail address.
Traffic is the lifeblood of any online business. Targeted
visitors (i.e., people who have an interest in your message
and who are likely to convert into customers), must
be able to find your content... that ends in a link to your
most wanted response. That might be buying, signing
up for an e-zine or joining an affiliate program.
Think of it as a three-step process...
STEP 1: To be "found" by targeted
visitors, the Search Engines must rank your Web content
highly for your keywords.
STEP 2: Once the engines rank you on their first
page of their search results, your "perfect headline
and description" must entice surfers to click on
the link to visit your page.
STEP 3: Once they click to your page, visitors must
find the content interesting enough to seek more
information by clicking on a link to your wanted
response.
Site Build It! accomplishes all three steps...
You'll build your own, special-focus site... a simple,
stripped down Theme-Focused Content Site full of

and PRE-sells them into high-potential
