You've got to be kidding right? Build a complete web site in
just 30 minutes? What sort of web site do you get for that?
Well, the answer actually is quite a good one - and one that it
infinitely better than the one you don't have right now.
What I mean is, you've been promising yourself a web site for
years, you've thought about it, got some quotes, perhaps even
brought some images together, but you never actually built the
web site.
Stop procrastinating!
I promise that in just 30 minutes you can build a site that:
* Looks just like you want it to be, and looks crisp and
professional
* Can take online orders, 24/7
* Processes credit cards
* Distributes your e-products
* Increases your sales and boosts your business through an
affiliate program
* Delivers your newsletters/e-zines to your info-hungry
subscribers
* Tracks the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns and
promotions or just
* Tells the world about your fascinations
* And, above all, is easy to manage - you may add new content
and format it at anytime, and all by yourself
OK, so some of the above will take a little more work once you
have the basic web site up and running, but trust me, it really
isn't that hard. So come on, let's build that site ... and lets
do it in the next 30 minutes.
Step 1
Write down about 150 words on what you wish to say on the
homepage of your web site. If it is for your business what do
people want to know? They want to know who you are, what you do,
where you are and how to contact you.
Forget the "we've been established for 100 years" rubbish - who
cares. Keep it plain, keep it simple and keep it informative.
Include the type of information that people need to know about
your business.
Step 2
Make a note of your address, telephone, fax and e-mail details.
Type them into MS Word so that you can paste them somewhere
later.
Step 3
Do you have a company logo handy? If you do then either scan it
or make sure you have it as a computer file with the image about
250-300 pixels wide.
Step 4
Now download the free e-Book from Web Site Wizard site
(http://www.WebsiteWizard.com/index/60476). This will tell you
how you can build a professional site sitting right in your
armchair and with no extra software.
Step 5
You can always read and digest it all later, but for now go to
an online build-it-yourself web site service like Web Site
Wizard (see above) and sign up for the $9.95 a month basic
service.
Build yourself a home page using the information you have just
prepared. Trust me, if you can use MS Word you can use an online
web site builder to produce your site. The important thing is to
get that first single home page up - the rest is just detail. If
you commit to doing just that today you will be 100% further
along the path to having a web presence that you were before you
started reading this article. That's got to be a step in the
right direction.
