Pick right color scheme

And improve your sites navigation.”

Use Subheadings through out page.

As you go through your pages pick out important points and put them in heading tags. Heading 2 and 3 work best but heading 1 tag will also work.

This will break page up for reader and they will be able to get information they want simply by scanning your pages.

3. Be Objective

Far to many web sites are “me” oriented. In other words your site is about making money for you and you want your visitor to stay at your site and buy from you.

So what do you do?

You force them to stay at your site even if they are not interested in your product or service any longer.

Doing this only serves to damage your reputation and cause visitors to leave with a bad taste in their mouth.

Being objective means putting links to other related sites through out your web pages and allowing visitor free will to either stay at your site or leave and find information they are looking for somewhere else.

In end this is not a bad thing because you, as site owner, can direct them to sites you want them to go to.

However, seeding your pages with a bunch of recommendations to other sales sites is not smartest way to do this.

Offer them free information along with sites that you receive compensation from as well.

This way you are being objective and offering your visitor valuable information they can use at same time.

In Conclusion

Take a few days and walk through your web site and find long paragraphs and make them more concise.

Bold important text, create subheadings for extremely important points and create more bullet lists where needed.

Finally, add more out bound links to your information and show them you are objective and care about their needs.

Internet users are getting tired of hype and they are speaking out with their browser’s back button.

By taking time to make these changes you will improve your sites usability and your visitors will thank you for it by doing business with you.

- Disk Space - This is physical amount of space that host allocates to you for files that you upload to server. - Bandwidth - Bandwidth is amount of space that you have available to transfer files from your website to another end-user of your websites computer. - Windows, Linux or BSD? - While a user of Windows XP may think it is preferable to use a windows host, in actuality it really doesn't matter. In-fact a hosting company that uses windows as a hosting platform sacrifices themselves a little bit on reliability. Choose a Linux or BSD hosting provider, they are typically much more reliable and often cheaper too. - Email accounts - If you're online you probably already know what an email account is, make sure you get some with your hosting account. - Control Panel - Make sure that they offer a control panel. CPanel and H-Sphere are both popular ones with hosting companies. H-Sphere hosts will typically be more reliable because it distributes your website to various application specific servers. Cpanel hosts typically have everything on one server, so if your websites down your email is too. - Finally, if you chose to use an online website creator above for cost or usability reasons; make sure that host has an online website creator.

Avoid hosting companies who offer unlimited in any of above categories. I recommend and personally use MegaHosters (http://www.megahosters.com).

If you build it, they will not come - how to promote your new site

One of biggest errors many people make is thought that all you have to do is build a website and people will come. This is completely wrong and if you follow this thought it won't be long before you give up on your new website.

You have to promote it, then promote it some more and once you think your done doing it twice over, promote it again.

Think of it like this, a website is like a business placed a half-mile off freeway, while you may occasionally get visitors (2-3 times month from type-in traffic) you will never be successful unless you can move your business closer to freeway, promotion does this. Every time you promote your business you move it a few feet closer to freeway.

Since there are literally dozens of ways to promote your new website I will not go in detail on them here, but I will provide a brief list of some of more common methods.

- Pay-Per-Click (PPC) advertising - a very quick way to get targeted visitors from search engines to your website. - Forums - Forums are a place that you can go and write with other people about various subjects. Chose one similar to your website and participate often. Make sure not to directly post about your site; but if you provide good information in your posts people will visit your website. (How will people know what your website is if you don't tell them about it? Put a link and a short descriptive text in what is called a signature). - Search Engines - submit your site to search engines (Manually, one at a time. Never use submission tools that submit your site to dozens, or even hundreds of search engines. Search engines forbid automated submission tools and may even ban you from their index - very bad.). - If you're a business put your website address (or URL) on everything that anyone can see (e.g. your car, letters, email signatures, business cards, invoices, packaging, clothing, etc.). - Reciprocal links - find other website that would compliment yours and offer them a link on your website in exchange for one on theirs. - If you have employees, hold a contest with them to see who can get your website address shown in most prominent place.

Avoid following when trying to promote your site as they will never help (never).

- FFA - Free for all link exchanges - Spamming in any form - Sending unsolicited emails, posting unrelated messages about your business in forums, Usenet, or in IRC.

In closing, this overview of how to create a website leaves out many important details to consider; primarily on different promotional methods and on some additional alternatives for each of sections. However, it was intended to only address essential portions of creating a website.

This article should have helped you to create a website, buy a domain name and promote website, all of which are essential to success of your website.

Remember you have to promote your website, then promote it some more and once you think your done doing it twice over, promote it again. It is only sure-fire way to ensure that your website isn't like many of other millions of websites that are closed each year because of lack of visitors/sales.
