How can I create a website for my small business

By: Kyle Farrah

Many people who own businesses want to create a website, but don’t know how. Websites can have a tremendous impact on the amount of sales received, and can help increase productivity.

There are really only two things however holding people back.

The first is a lack of knowledge. People simply don’t have the technical skills to create a website.

The second is lack of money. People don’t want to spend thousands of dollars to create a website for their company.

In the traditional method of creating a website, someone would first have to find a web host. These range anywhere from $3.00 up to $200 a month, the average being around $10.

Next they would have to create the website itself. They could either create it using html or hire someone else to do it. Html takes a lot of technical skills, and requires a lot of time to do. Hiring someone else on the other hand requires no, or little skill, however requires a lot of money. Often you would have to pay someone thousands of dollars to create the website for you.

Finally you would have to hire an SEO consultant to research keywords, and help to advertise your website. This also would cost thousands of dollars, and would probably be around 3,000-7,000 dollars.

Today however people use a different, much simpler method of creating a website. They do start with a web host, but that’s were the site creation process changes.

After finding the web host the person creating the site uses software called a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get). This allows the person to just point, click and type to create their website. WYSIWYGS are very simple to use, and they save much time, money, and energy.

The website creator can then use SEO software instead of hiring an SEO consultant. This also helps save them time and money.

Of course there are also problems with these methods. First of all WYSIWYGS and SEO software aren’t free. WYSIWYGS usually cost $300-$400 and good SEO software costs $300 per year!

The second problem is that since all of these tools are separate, you have to go through the process of getting all of them to work together. For example, you have to upload all of your pages to your host. Things like this require technical skills, which you may not have.

The third problem is that there is still a lot of work to be done once you create, your site, and upload it to your host. You still have to promote your website. The SEO tool will help you discover good keywords to use for your site, but it will not promote your site for you. You have to go through the trouble of manually submitting your websites to search engines (Google, Yahoo, etc.), then you have to submit your site to directories, then you have to pay for advertising, and you will have to do many similar things.

These things can add up to hundreds of hours, and thousands of dollars spent on building your website. However it may be worth it if you can get that much money from new sales, which you probably can.

But what if there was a way to do it cheaper, and quicker?
