In our opinion, if you are NEW to the game, and you need a website that will work for your personal purposes and/or business – and LOOK GOOD - there are a number of excellent ways to build a website that can achieve what you need it too, quickly easily and cheaply.
- You can start from literally a few dollars ($8.88) – for a domain name – and a meagre monthly expenditure ($6.95) to host your own site (…actually 1 or as many sites as you like for that SAME total price!). We recommend NameCheap for domains because their prices are LOW and their system is fast, easy to use and doesn’t pester you with pages of unwanted upgrades and offers like irritating websites such as the one who like to think its is the ‘Daddy’ of domain sellers does!! We also recommend that you check out hosts like HostMonster ($6.95 a month for hosting unlimited domains) or ThinkHost for another decent economy hosting option.
- You can use one of the emerging content management systems that is well optimised to attract search engines…and hence visitors. Foremost amongst the simple ‘blog based’ sites is WordPress (of course) the system this blog uses like so many others. But we also highly recommend TeraPad (and yes we also have many websites and blogs using this great tool and platform) – because you can either have a website and/or a blog, and a shop, and a gallery, and many more options all rolled into one with some great looking templates and an slick, easy to use website builing interface…and you can get it all for free until you decide (if ever) to upgrade and have an ad-free, own domain option. Here is an example of what they can look like:
Evolving Intelligence Web Development
Descubre Salud y Bienestar – Health and Wellness advice (in Spanish – but you’ll get the idea)
- OR…You can use a ’short-cut’ tool that does a lot of clever things behind the scenes to make creation of a professional looking site fast, easy and also optimizes it on the fly to make progressing your website bulding dreams a reality.
- Here is one tool that has only improved with the passage of time and in its latest incarnation it knocks spots off well-known but expensive website design packages (like Dreamweaver) – yet integrates MUCH MORE useful features for getting any kind of site up quickly and effectively for a one-off cost that becomes a bigger and better bargain with every site you launch…ypu might guess, we’re talking about XSitePro V2.

- We are also ‘fans’ of the ever-improving SBI system for site building. This cost IS higher – because you pay for every site. BUT the system is alsways being improved and we can only say from experience that you will multuply your small annual investment of $299 many times just by following the comprehensive guidance provided. You’ll also be able to learn how to make an effective website that makes profits even if you consider yourself a complete dummy when it comes to technical web knowledge. Site Build It has proven itself over and again for its users and both professional and amateur website developers alike swear by it. Here are couple we made earlier
