Quality Website Design At An Affordable Price
I always have people asking me if I know of anybody who can build them a website which is affordable but also professional looking. They want the website to be search engine friendly, there is no point in having a website if no one can see it, and fully optimised.
I am sure there are many people looking for something similar. In my opinion you should not have to spend a lot of money for such a service.
With such a lot of people now offering web design and optimisation services in the UK, there are bound to be some good deals to be found. In reality you should be able to have your website built for between ?50 and ?100.
The question is where do you find these great deals?
These are the areas I would try:
search engines such as Google
internet auction websites such as ebay
yellow pages
newspaper advertisements
shop window advertisements
asking family and friends
If you are willing to spend a bit of time, making lots of phone calls and sending lots of e-mails you will soon find the right web design quote.
It is not just the cost that is important however. There is no point accepting a quote of ?20 per website if the site will be of poor quality and not search engine friendly. It is therefore advisable to look at the person or companies portfolio and see if you like their previous work. I always look to see the page rank of the sites they have previously built and run a few searches on the key phrases relevant to each website.

Have you ever used an online website design builder? If so you may have been left with a less than professional website. Most of these tools are not what you would call a professional solution for designing or building your website. No matter how hard you try they are not going to turn out a professional website.
These tools will insert poor code and a lot of time your website will suffer from “code bloat” in other words there will be a lot of extra code that you are not even using. Although this is behind the scenes and your visitors can see it unless they do a “view source” and look at your code this causes serious problems concerning load time and it can affect your search engine rankings. Think about it, if you have all this “extra code” in your website then the search engine spiders have to dig through this junk just to get the relevant information they are looking for.
Online website design tools are just programs written by people, they cannot think, they cannot make recommendations or tell you that some element in the design you are creating is not going to be best for you. These programs will do exactly what you tell them to do so unless you are an experienced website design professional you will probably be in trouble and besides if you were a website design professional you would not be using a tool like this.
Is your competition using some online website builder? If you think so then think again. How will you expect to outsell or out rank your competition on the search engines if you are driving a Volkswagen and they are driving a Ferrari? It’s just not going to happen.
What is the difference between online website design builder tools and Content Management Systems or CMS? A lot! The online website design builder tools are for designing the layout of your site, the code behind your site and the elements that will make your site usable by your visitors and viewable and rank able by search engines.
Content Management Systems will allow you to update the content of your website and keep it fresh for your visitors and for the search engines. Unlike online builder tools a good Content Management System fits inside an already designed professional website layout.
The content you place within the pages of your website will affect your sales and your search engine rankings but there is little danger that you will destroy your website by using a good CMS.
