Creating Your Own Website??

Post by pesty »

Hello Friends

Pros
* Allows you to establish your own "real estate" on the Web;
* Allows you to attract a bigger audience; not limited to eBay buyers (not everyone buys on eBay)
* Scaleable as it allows your business to grow;
* Allows you to give more information about your business to your visitors and give them reasons to trust you
* Allows you to give more information about the product, play around with factors that can increase conversion
* Gives you a more professional look
Cons:
* Requires technical know how to create a website (or money to pay someone to do it for you)
* Expensive especially if your website requires special programming
* You have to think how your site will look or hire a web designer to create your website
* Fixed price (price you set is what you get)
* You're basically a "nobody" and you have to build your reputation, brand and traffic from scratch.
* Harder to market and you may need to spend more on advertising.

Have a nice day

The first thing you need to do before anything else is to get yourself a domain name. A domain name is the name you want to give to your website. For example, the domain name of the website you're reading is "thesitewizard.com". To get a domain name, you have to pay an annual fee to a registrar for the right to use that name. Getting a name does not get you a website or anything like that. It's just a name. It's sort of like registering a business name in the brick-and-mortar world; having that business name does not mean that you also have the shop premises to go with the name. Once you have settled your domain name and web host, the next step is to design the web site itself. In this article, I will assume that you will be doing this yourself. If you are hiring a web designer to do it for you, you can probably skip this step, since that person will handle this step.
Although there are many considerations in web design, as a beginner, your first step is to actually get something out onto the web. The fine-tuning can come after you've figured out how to get a basic web page onto your site. One way is to use a WYSIWYG ("What You See Is What You Get") web editor to do it. Such editors allow you to design your site visually, without having to muck around with the technical details. They work just like a normal wordprocessor.
