Dispelling the Myths About Website Ownership
By admin | November 8, 2008
You don’t have to have the best website out there, and you don’t have to be a professional writer either, but the info you do have on your site has to make sense, that’s all. Many people look at their competitor’s websites and then think that they must have something better.
There are, of course, some very professional-looking websites that did cost alot of money to build, but when it comes down to it, even a basic website can do better in many cases. A website can still look very good without your having to spend alot of money to get it made and to get it online.
I’m not a professional writer, but I can spell, and I can pretty much write down what I want to say. I can manipulate graphics but I’m not a pro, and I still built websites for each of my companies and today they are our main source of advertising. We always ask our new customers where they got our phone number from and a large percentage of our new customers say they found us online. Some of my competitors have professionally built websites, and I know that some of them spent thousands of dollars for their’s. But I’ve received many compliments on my sites and I am currently in the top three Google listings for all the keywords I want. Even though I made my own sites, and even though I am not a professional web designer, they are doing very well.
The next biggest myth that I have learned from people is that they believe that hosting a website will cost them alot of money. This is simply not true. Once your site is built, you can host it almost anywhere you want to, and web hosting will cost you anywhere from $10 to $300 per month depending on which services you want or need. Hosting packages come with alot of options including several things that most people don’t even need or will never use, and those extra features obviously determine what price you’ll pay. We’ll talk about website hosting in more detail later.
