How can you get a website for your small business?

1.Get your website professionally designed. It would be a great idea, however as you probably already discovered website designers come with a very hefty price tag. Not only that, when approaching new website for the first time, most small business owners have no clue what, where and how they want it. That usually spells hours and hours with the website designer and at least $75 an hour (on top of the finished project) it can mean thousand of additional dollars.

2.Get a high school student to design a website for you. Most of them can, and they will do it only for few dollars however, brace yourself before you look at it for the very first time: you will have every blinking, moving, peeping, ringing and flashing thing that they ever invented. Teenagers simply have no idea that customers require information presented in a clear and aesthetic way and do not need to be entertained.

3.Build your own website! I know, you know nothing about website building. But let me tell you, if you have enough skills to find this article, you have enough skills to build a website (why do you think it is so difficult if a child can do it?).

When you think about it, you are the person that knows the most about your product and your clients, so you should be the one “talking to them”.

The days of internet being a difficult medium are long gone. You can build your own website if you can point, click and put few sentences together. And amazingly, you can have a wonderful, professionally looking website for free!”There are companies out there that will give you access to pretty spectacular templates and tools just for the privilege of having your website hosted by them.

Long live the competition!
