Cheap Yet Effective Alternatives to Traditional Website Design

If youýre an individual or a small business owner seeking to impart information, or seeking to earn affiliate income, or seeking to promote a product or service, or otherwise seeking to put a simple website on the Internet these days, you probably are in a dilemma to locate effective website design help.

The traditional way to get a website designed just doesnýt work for the small business owner or WebPreneur anymore (I donýt know if it ever did). No it has too many problems. I should know Iým a website designer by trade since 1996 and Iýve seen and experienced all the pros and the cons out there: flashy website design but not ideal for SEO (so no SERP), websites with outdated content (so no repeat visitors), unfinished websites (not enough information or content), not to mention bad website design, sloppy html coding, slow loading images, and I could go on and on. The bottom-line is most website designers are so eager to show their talent, they usually go all out and forget about SEO and SERP (which are the primary reasons to be online in the first place, to be seen).

For years I searched for the ideal solution, one where anyone (even a child) could create a decent looking, properly SEOýd website and have it be online in a matter of hours (not days, weeks or months), all at a reasonable affordable rate.

Well these days Iým finding that web based Website Builders are the answer... but not all are created equal. I found some ranging from $10 per month to $199 per month. Some included domain names, web hosting and even web based emails, while others only included web hosting at no additional charge, while others still, charged separately for each additional service. Some were SEO friendly, others werenýt. Some included add-on features like refer others, built-in newsletter, forums, etc., while others didnýt.

Yes all that is nice but what I look for first and foremost is; is it SEO friendly? If that is there, the next thing I look for is; is it easy to use? If those two features are there Iým happy as anything else I need I can always get from a third party website as an add-on service or feature; refer others, ezine / newsletter, forum, blog, directory, even web based email and domain registration. Sometimes I donýt even have to pay for them as some of the FREE add-on services do a good enough job.

Anyway itýs all much better than using a website designer, as you are in total control, and can update the website fast and easy, when and as needed, and when youýre done with your website if youýre not too confident in your website design skills there are websites that you can join where members will offer constructive criticism of your website at no charge.

Never-the-less itýs more likely that one can find a suitable solution to fit ones pocket. And with a little searching it is indeed possible.

I am a website designer and Iýve begun using such services for my own websites, all 27 of them, why? Because they are quick and easy to use, and they free up my time to do more important things like, niche and keyword research, competition research, link exchange, inbound link building, article writing, blogging and more.

So if you do not need a fancy website design service with Flash, PHP, MySQL, etc., consider this most cost effective option and keep some money in your pocket that you can use for SEO or other uses to do things you canýt do yourself like; logo creation, image optimization, and the like.
