Why You Should Learn to Make Your Own Websites
by Jeff Griffin
I might be opening a can of worms here for sure. If you have ever paid
or asked someone you know to make a website for you then you have
experienced the frustrations that are just to large to ignore.
Here are the main frustrations that you probably endured:
1. The job was not done on time.
2. The website did not look like you wanted it to look.
3. The website loaded too slow, therefore losing customers.
4. The website was just too fancy and glitsy.
5. The website didn't fit the page and you needed to browsers side by
side to view the page at once.
6. Just one thing was wrong, the background color and you didn't know
how to change that.
I know that if you have experienced any of those frustrations or
problems then you know one thing. It cost you money. Either it cost you to
have it rectified or it cost you in lost revenue because you had to accept the
job as it was done.
For example, simple mini-sites outsell large glitsy websites by 100 to
1. Here are the reasons:
They are smaller, usually 600 pixels wide.
They load faster. Average visitor spends less than 30 seconds on your
site. And that's a fact!
They have only one purpose. They are designed to sell a product or
get a sign-up for your email list.
They generally are dominated by one main headline that draws the viewer to read on.
They join the viewer in his trance (whatever that may be) and leads him
to do what you want him to do.
Most Websites Are Really Anti-Sites!
What do I mean by Anti-Sites? I mean that they drive the customer
away before you have the chance to reel them in. How do they do that?
1. They load slow. Too many graphics, flash players, commands to
download some software to view their site are anti-customer.
2. They are too wide. I don't know about you but I hate to scroll
sideways to read a page. I generally click out after a few lines.
3. They have too much going on to allow you to focus and what
interested you to click there in the first place.
Now, that is just the ones off the tip of my fingers that I named. When
you couple what "paid-for" webmasters do for you plus the negatives that
drive your customers away, you are faced with but one decision. That
decision is to learn how to build your own websites so that you can:
1. Get what you want.
2. Get it when you want it.
3. Maintain customer interest.
4. Duplicate sites over and over quickly.
5. Keep the cost of doing business down. Webmasters can be expensive.
"But I'm afraid to try to build my own mini-sites!"
Well, I've been there and thought that. I struggled with that same
lion. HTML. My Gosh, that stuff is jibberish to me. Is that what you are
thinking? I know how you feel. If you are like me you probably don't
even know that there are things called HTML editors that make writing
a web page a cake walk. The problem is finding the right one and then
learning how to use it.
The bigger problem is not trying to find one and learning how to use it.
So, you find yourself having to make that tough decision. Could I
recommend something. Of course, I could. But that's not really what this
article is designed to do. I want to tell you about one thing that happened and
continues to happen to and for me over and over.
Every time I find myself facing a difficult decision and deciding to go
through with it no matter what, doors are flung open. The Red Sea parts
so-to-speak. The right pieces begin to fit. The dreaded darkness never comes
in the way it was feared. In short, every difficult decision is generally only
made difficult by our fear. Pushing forward is the way to push that fear away
and enjoy the benefits of getting out of our comfort zone. The answer could
be as simple and as near as the next website that you are led to. Led? Yes, led
trust your inner self. Listen more to your intuition, gut-feelings. They are
your spirit telling you "this is the way, go this way."
Get it? Do it!
