Tools to build a Website

It is easier to build a Website these days than writing a formal letter, if you are new to web industry, do not worry. The tools to build a website does not include knowledge of HTML or programming language.

If you know how to log on to the internet and how to hold a mouse you can build a website in no time, it’s that easy.

Let us take a brief look at the three commonly used options to build a website.

1. You can build it your self.
2. You can hire a professional programmer to build it.
3. You can use a third party’s design studio and their help.

Most people that do not have a website today are because of a common myth that you have to know HTML or other programming language to be able to build a website. Not anymore there are tons of software these days to work you through pointing and clicking your way to a well professionally looking website, with these software anybody can build a website, regardless of experience.

Most of these software are designed for people that do not have web technical knowledge. If you know how to use a word processor then you will have no problem using these programs. I must say that some are better than others.

Another way is to hire a professional programmer to build your website for you. Professional designers have a lot to bring to the table from in-depth knowledge of products to after sales management. You can’t overlook their importance in the web world. The price to hire a professional web designer ranges from couple of hundred dollars to several thousand dollars, depending on your specifications. Apart from the money you will loose the ability to modify the Website you will have to pay for most modifications. If you choose to go this way you can hire a free lance programmer. When hiring a professional, asking some of these questions will help you determine who to hire.

1. How many years of experience do they have?
2. Have they built a website like the one you have in mind?
3. Can they handle future updates and for how much?
4. Do they answer question on a timely manner and how?
5. How much will it cost you overall?

Basically try and find the lowest price for your project and it won’t hurt to get or ask for reference.

The third option is to use a third party’s design studio and their help to build your website. In most instances this option would be like the first option except that the designing company will host your website as well. Most of them over promise and under deliver so watch out. With this option you will get considerable technical support but you will be giving up decision on who you want to host your website and some other minor decisions.

Some of them have an almost already made website and can get you up and running in no time. Some of them do not only help you build the website they help you manage it and funnel thousands of free, warm and targeted traffic to it. They also have the “what you see is what you get” capability. There is no prior experience needed to use this option.
