Professional Web Designers
Okay, so you've registered your domain name, chosen an ISP, and are ready to design and start up your website. Do you have the skills to design it your self? How simple or complex do you want it to be? How many pages? Colors? Will you want links to other sites or information? How will you take payments if you are a sales site?Professional web designers will do all the work for you starting at around $200.00. Vendorseek.com is a website who will get the specifications of what you want for your site and bring you 4 bids for the project. They are a reputable company and a good resource.
Design your website (or hire a professional) for your customers/clients needs, not yours. As each page is designed and submitted to you for your approval, ask yourself "what need for the consumer do these pages fulfill?" and "what problem does this page solve?" If your designer's package is rated per page, this is an important question. Better fewer pages of quality rather than many pages of crap!
Remember, your website should be designed for people who want or need information, who want to purchase something, or who want to be entertained. If your website is simple, tasteful, and easy to navigate and read, and addresses the customer's wants, you're good to go.
