Building a Site Part 3 - Using a Builder

As with the other two options that we’ve talked about, using some type of a website builder can have it’s pros and cons as well. For example, if you are brand new to building websites but don’t have the funds or desire to have someone else do it, using some type of a builder program would be a good option for you.

There are a lot of website building programs on the market today. For those of you that are really just getting started, you’ll want to use some type of a template builder. Look for one that is easy to use, but also has all of the functionality that you need. Here are a few things to look for:

  • Ease of Use
  • Shopping Cart
  • Email
  • Professional Look
  • Good Support
  • Price

There are some more advanced features to most of these programs that you can look for as well, but these should be enough to get you started. I would also recommend that before you sign up with a builder, see if you can use it for a few days as a free trial. It’s also nice if you can see examples of some sites that use the same builder so you can see if they have the look and feel that you want to achieve.

I use a site builder that you can use the pre made templates or upload you own html.
If you are not sure what you wand to do with a site there is help determining that.
There is a keyword tools that helps you look at keyword searches and competition for the word.
It has good support and a forum. It has traffic monitoring, a blog and everything else you usually have to get extra to build and promote a site.

I use a site builder that you can use html if you want or not. There are basic codes in something they have call ed useful html that I use but I am not Dependant on html and because my site builder does not require it. I have pasted code in for adsence and other stuff but as long as I can get by without writing html my self I will because if you make one mistake with it you are screwed. That kind of detail is not worth the effort. My site looks good with the little code I use.
