Starting a Website from Scratch

Web design mistakes, secrets, tips, and must know information on web design you need to know!

So, youve decided to try to create a brand new website on your own from scratch huh? Well, you are in for a bumpy ride! Get ready to dedicate much of your time learning the millions of aspects the effect you sites success.

   There are basically two options you have when deciding to develop a brand new site. But Ill try to break down the most important things you need to keep in mind to help your site a success.

Option #1
Try to do it all yourself, from start to finish. Nowadays there are many universal tools that can do most of the dirty work for you, and claim to be an all-in-one package, for a very low price. What you probably didnt know is that these types of services are *one-size fits all type programs. In other words, you probably will never realize it yourself, but this new site is identical to thousands of other companies who purchased the same program. Search engines highly penalize this practice, and although the page may look pretty... it will never fully succeed in anything other than looking nice

Option #2
Hire a company who promises an offer thats too good to be true, and pay a bit less than the real experts in the field. Only to find out that you just spent $XXXX on a website which is new receiving no traffic, and no sales. So now youve just lost all your money invested, and have nothing to show for it but a cookie-cutter, template-based website... which is now next to worthless.
