Starting Your Own Website 10/29/2009
I have made a choice to own a website for future internet business expansion. Of course everybody has the option to maintain a free website on a sub-domain like the infamous Blogger, but then I opted to maintain mine to get it all set-up. I started of on a template and modify some features to let the elements flow into my content. I have little knowledge of Website Optimization and I keep learning each day until I found the book of O’Reilly regarding Website Optimization. Let’s start of with the design. What Is Professional Design? * Professionally designed sites share a number of traits, including * Credibility-based logo and layout that conform to accepted and tested usability standards * Pleasing color scheme * Persuasive copy that is benefit-oriented * Error-free, and relevant to a target audience * Relevant graphics to engage users and * Meaningful markup that is easily updated all wrapped up in a responsive, intuitively navigable package. I suggest you get yourself a copy of that book and it will surely help. Once your site is up, test it for optimization on websiteoptimization.com Another good website analysis is here http://websitegrader.com/ I also found this site that includes a wide selection of professional web templates, its pretty affordable and you won't get disappointed with the design. Once my traffic rank increases, I'm going to purchase mine. Purchasing a Domain Both the content of your site and your domain name will attract crawlers in the way you want. Using a domain name containing a keyword from your content usually improves your site ranking. When purchasing a domain name its important that you know the right cost for you. I highly recommend GoDaddy, they offer very economical costs for domain names starting from $1.99 a year. The cheapest among the domains will include those that of .info but if you’re serious about internet blogging and you offer a business opportunity go for the ones that include the most common and popular .com domains. Most web hosting plans offer unlimited domain names, if you wish to get you domains exclusive then purchase the package of .net, .org, .biz and so on... Web Hosting Plans When it comes to web hosting look for the ones that have very good reviews and performance. You don’t want a site that is always down and inaccessible to your viewers. This are my top 10 list according to cost-cutting measure and exemplary performance.
