How does everyone go about creating a website for their company? Do you go to a designer or use one of these services that lets you create the site yourself and they do the hosting?
I’ve been driving myself crazy trying to find the best place for the services they provide but I have no sort of “TECH” background at all and all the details they keep pushing in regards to “increased bandwith” and “multiple servers” isn’t really helping. :banghead
Any help is appreciated
:help
If you know a little about design go to www.homestead.com and use their editor… Here are a couple example of a site I created using it… Took a couple hours… http://www.foreclosure-shortsales.com/ or http://www.TheShortSaleGal.com or www.Yellow-Letters.com
If you dont want to deal with it try www.rentacoder.com and have the developers bid on one for you… this is cheap however you have to tell them what you want.
If you dont like that then buy a package site… Something like www.openhousevision.com
You might be best served to just sign up on one of the lead generation sites like www.IBuyHouses.com or www.WeBuyHouses.com
Good luck
If you have no technical skills when it comes to designing or setting up a simple webpage, then Micheal’s advice is good to follow. Even if you have to pay some money it will save you a lot of time compared to trying to figure out how to develop your own site. But if you have more time then money look into the following…
Web Host: Hostgator.com
this is where your web site will be stored and served to the public. You’ll also be able to register your domain name (www.yoursitename.com) here.
Using Wordpress software to easily create your webpages.
Wordpress is a blogging platform at it’s core but you can easily create good looking sites for anything you need.
Hope that helps some
If you want you can hire someone to do it for you. Try www.elance.com as they have some awesome coders who can do things for very cheap.
You said you are not that “techy”. But that;s not a problem. If you a are in real rush and really want to finish the website asap, then you can hire for freelance web designers. But if you want to make it yourself, you can find lots of tutorials out there regarding that.
