Web Design

Making a web site is a potentially complex job. There are lots of ways to go about it, ranging from doing it yourself by hand or with an expensive piece of software that bundles HTML and graphics editing, to hiring a specialist to do it and maintain it for you. These specialists can cost a lot of cash even on freelancer web sites.

A lot of hosting companies offer pre-packaged web site web design templates. These offer simple to use, attractive designs but you run the risk that they will look like everyone else's web site.

Most pre-packaged web site web design templates don't let you change the graphics without jumping through hoops with massive amounts of work - sometimes more than you'd take on just doing the site yourself from scratch.

Most of these design templates are meant for "business portfolio" sites - they establish a basic web presence, tend to be kind of stodgy and stale and aren't geared in layout or color scheme for putting in tutorials, hooks for getting people to sign up for your company's newsletter or turning browsers into buyers.

Last, very few of these web site web design templates help you with integration into shopping cart software. Most shopping cart software offers lots of customization options, but for optimal 'flow' through the sales process on your page, you need a system that offers good integration with the minimum of guess work and programming requirements.

My company has created literally hundreds and hundreds of niche and business websites for clients around the world. Based on that experience I would strongly recommend you go for something that's more than a canned web site web design templates. See my resource box below for my recommendation. I've found that it gives an excellent middle ground between doing everything yourself and being stuck with someone else's four year old web design template! It gives step by step tutorials for the six phases of setting up a web commerce business site and is easy to use.
