Design Tips

Let's say you have something that you want to sell on the Internet, but you don't want to have to mortgage your house to hire someone to be your website builder. Then it's time you learned how to create a website and start making some money with it.

There are two options with which you can create a website. The first is to find a site that offers free templates that require you to learn some programming. The second is to find some website builder sites, where all you have to do is fill in your information and select a style that will be put into an already created web page. This way is much easier than the first, as it allows you to get your site up and running much faster.

OK, so you've picked out a template that you like. Now you need to decide what you want your website to say. First of all, you'll need to prepare your home page. This will probably give a general overview of what you're selling as well as some pictures of your product to entice people further into your site.

You most certainly will need a menu so visitors can find what they're after quickly. Web shoppers don't like to have to hunt for what they want, so name your pages efficiently so that visitors will be able to select the right one on the first try.

Many sites have a page that tells about the owner and his or her sales philosophy, pages which have info on shipping, privacy, and payment options, links to additional sites, a link for your blog, a page via which one can contact the owner, and, most crucially, pages that show your wares.

Your product pages should give detailed descriptions of the products that you are offering for sale. You need to show the potential customers that the items you are selling are necessary to their lives. You also need to have clear pictures of the items that you offer on your website. Each item should be priced; and it should be easy for the customer to purchase from your site.

Here are just a few of the things to remember when beginning to build your website. There are several important areas to learn, such as search engine optimization, also known as SEO, writing effective copy to describe your products, how to initiate a blog, and how to set up your shopping cart. Even when using a website builder it's rather difficult to make a website, but it can be very rewarding when you finally get that first sale.

Let's say you have something that you want to sell on the Internet, but you don't want to have to mortgage your house to hire someone to be your website builder. Then it's time you learned how to create a website and start making some money with it. To begin to create a web site, you can either find a site that offers free templates that require you to learn some programming, or you can search out web building sites where the web pages are already created and all you have to do is select the style you prefer and fill in your own information.
