You have a PC, complete with Microsoft Frontpage, you have the Photoshop program – why spend money on a web designer when you could do it yourself?

You do want the best possible solution for your small business right!?

An amateur design will make your small business appear amateurish.

I’m shore you’re pretty handy with the old Frontpage, but the truth is that an amateur web-design is easy to spot – although sometimes that’s not obvious to the person who created it.

So do you have to leave it to the experts?

Not anymore!

You must know how to optimize your pages for the search engines.

The type of web site design you choose will have a great impact on whether your small business shows up on search engines or not. There are many different things that play it’s roll here : meta tags, keywords and keyword density to name a few. That mean you’re better of to hire an expert? No! Now there are other solutions available.

You need to make your website accessible

Your website might look different on different browsers – if you do it without the proper tools! Your site that look fine on Internet Explorer could look completely different on Firefox, and vice verse. Are you confident that you can design a website that will be accessible to all?

If not, do you have to leave it to the experts? No! There are companies that have specialized themselves on providing small business with all in one packages. Including web hosting, website design and website marketing! One of the ‘all in one’ providing companies that stand out from the rest, is Site Build It!

You think you can’t afford a professional solution? you think they charge too much? Well, some of them do. But not all professional web-site design is expensive! First of all, you have to consider what a good website design is worth to your small business.

If it’s worth having a website, it’s worth having a good one!

It will be quite easy to find several providers, there are a great number on the market today. By searching the Net, looking in the yellow pages, or by asking friends, you can quickly come up with a list of hosts that are available.

Choosing the best solution can be more of a challenge

Normally you get what you pay for when it comes to web hosting. Ask yourself a few questions about your needs:

Do you aim for a business or personal website? What kind of customer service and technical support do you want? What about security and privacy?  When your business grows will the provider be able to handle your needs? Is support for e-commerce, domain name registration included? What kind of website tools, control panel, and user interface are offered?

Evaluate the features of each web service provider

Find one that fits your needs to support your small business website or personal site. If it’s not clear what the services are, call or email to get clarification. A good web host will be glad to spend time with you in order to get your questions answered and possibly gain your trust. Reliability in terms of uptime and performance is crucial for a high quality web host. Make sure that the companies you are evaluating have 100% uptime (or close to), and that their performance is fast and consistent.

Ask for references

email the references, ask them about their experience with the particular provider. Search the Net for comments regarding reliability and support. Check out where the company is located. This may affect performance and technical support capabilities.

Security and privacy are important especially if you going to use your website for a business. Make sure that high security and privacy features are included.

Spam and virus filtering must be part of the basic service. Your website will be important for you, so take your time and compare the features, capabilities, and costs from several different web service companies. You are more likely to succeed the first time around if you do your homework and consider more than just the cost.
