Alternatives to Website Design Companies

Almost all small business's who have websites, hired a website design company,
to create the site for them. You tell the companies what you want the site
to look like, and then they create it for you.
There are two main problems with this however:
1) Price - Web design companies are extremely expensive. They often charge
thousands of dollars to create the website for you. For large business' this
is fine. They can afford to pay this much money. Small business' however are
not able to afford this, or at least they would rather not have to pay this
much.
You can make this slightly more affordable; by using a WYSIWYG (What You See
Is What You Get). This is software which allows you to create a website
yourself, without having to have any technology knowledge. It allows you to
create a website, by simply pointing, clicking, and typing. The equivalent
would probably be like using Microsoft Word to create a document.
WYSIWYG's aren't quite as expensive as hiring a web design company, however
they are still quite expensive. To buy a descent WYSIWYG, you should expect
to pay $300-$400.
2) Additional Requirements - Unfortunately many people falsely assume that
hiring a web design company is all that's required to create a website. This
however is not true. There are still many other requirements. The main two
are: a) Web Hosting-Business' who want to create a website, and have already
hired the web design company, still need to find someone to host the website
for them. When a web design company finishes creating the website, it doesn't
actually go on the internet so others can see it. It just sits their on you'
re computer, or theirs. You must find someone who can host the website for
you. This allows the website to go on the internet. b) Promotion-After you
site is online, people are not instantly going to find it. People won't just
do searches for your keyword's and instantly stumble upon your site. In fact
the major Search Engines like Yahoo and Google won't even no that you exist.
You must figure out ways to promote your site. The way that Search Engines
find out about you is when people link from their site to yours. The Search
Engines judge a sites worth primarily by how many links, and the quality of
links pointing back to a site.
There are many methods of building links, such as submitting your site to
directories, posting in forums, doing link exchanges, buying links (which
Google no longer allows), making comments on blogs, etc. There are also other
companies which you can hire to do link building. These people however also
are very expensive, and depending on how much link building you want done,
can cost even more than the web design companies.
There are some tools that you can use to make this easier to do. You can
purchase certain software, which will show you what keywords to use for your
site, and how you should change certain keywords to others. You can also
purchase software that submits your site to all the major Search Engines.
This also can be expensive, and you will again have to pay thousands of
dollars to buy all of the software that you need. (It would still probably be
cheaper than hiring someone to do this for you).
There is a company however that can do all of this for you!
