How ANY Woman Can Build a Website Today!
By Kathy Wilson
Many women avoid the idea of starting a business online because they believe it will be too expensive and difficult to build their own professional looking website. Women on the Net readers know that we can help ANY woman learn to make money online and that includes building a website, even if you don’t know a thing about it!
First of all, forget the idea that you need to deal with an expensive web designer in order to have a site that can compete. You just need to know the secret we use! Find yourself a package provider that offers web hosting, easy site building tools and professional templates you can use to create the perfect website for your business. We use and recommend Homestead. It is inexpensive, their web building tools are so easy it is simply drag and drop, and they register your domain and give you email as well! This is a perfect solution for those who don’t understand the technology related to building websites.
After you open your account, choose a domain name for your new website. Try to include some of the keywords people will use to search for your site if you can. For instance, one of my sites is DecoratingYourSmallSpace.com. You can see how most of those words might be used in online searches. Only use hyphens if all your best choices are taken, it’s easier for people to remember domain names without hyphens.
Choose a template that is similar to the field your business (or future business) is in. Look for something that is visually appealing, clean and colorful. A good method is to look up your competitors and take a look at the kind of websites they are offering. This can give you an idea on how to proceed with the choices in design and navigation, and also give you ideas on how you can improve on the competition. Just remember NOT to copy your competitor’s site! This is not the way to generate a good reputation online, and your reputation is everything.
Finally start adding some content to your site. Get free reprint articles at article banks such as Ideamarketers.com or Ezinearticles.com. Write a few of your own! Find free stock photos to use at places such as Stock.XCHNG at http://www.sxc.hu/.
Getting a website up and going is easy and inexpensive if you know the right route to take. If you haven’t yet chosen a business to build online, or need help getting it off the ground, you can find more free articles like this at www.Women-on-the-Net.com.
