Website Makers for Basic Pages

Website Makers for Basic Pages

Websites for family photos, personal projects or other non-commercial
interests don't have to be built from scratch. There are plenty of easy
website makers available to help you design the perfect site.

The following are the most popular services you can use to put together
basic pages:

Weebly

Weebly provides the ability to create two basic websites on its free hosting
site at no charge. Additional features or more sites will cost you, however.
The service provides a variety of templates and easy editing of fonts,
photos and other page elements. Unlike many free website makers, Weebly
allows you to use AdSense on your page, but requires 50 percent of any
advertising money you receive.

Yola

This free site builder and host is actually targeted at small businesses.
While it won't create a complex site or provide a full-fledged web store, it
is a good option for business owners who want to create a simple presence
online. Yola works for non-commercial sites too. Just remember, you can make
only one site for free and you will need to stick to Yola's relatively
limited set of templates.

Wix

This slightly more complex website maker requires a little bit of technical
expertise. Also, it only offers long URLs, which makes it a little more
difficult for users to remember your site address. On the plus side, Wix
gives you a wide range of extra options, though you may find many of these
must be purchased. It's not for inexperienced users. Wix offers the best
range of features for more skilled designers who want free hosting and a
no-charge site builder.

Google Sites

Google Sites uses fairly rigid templates, but it allows wikis and other
interactive sites. It's part of the Google Apps suite of productivity
programs and permits shopping carts via the Google i-store gadget. It allows
custom domains, but at a cost. Google sites also provides limited HTML
customization of pages for users who know how to modify their own websites.

DoodleKit

This website maker asks for a minimum amount of information, then creates a
placeholder website that you can easily modify. It doesn't offer much drag
and drop functionality, but it makes up for it with the ability to add your
own HTML code if you choose. You can also create a storefront via Google
Checkout or PayPal, but other shopping carts can be difficult.

These popular website makers are an excellent choice if you want your own
site but don't want to spend too much time or money to get it. While these
website makers won't create high-end, complicated pages, they will get you
onto the Web.

my motto is "Keep it simple" and "don't leave anything for tomorrow that can
be done today."

What Is Internet Website Content?

What Is Internet Website Content? Content is made up of multiple elements, and is primarily the; * On-page visible text * Images and image Alt text * Anchor text in hyperlinks to internal or external pages * Hyperlink titles in links and menus * The descriptive Title and Description meta-data In the context of Google, a picture is NOT worth a thousand words! Moreover, words must be accessible, not embedded in images or Flash movies, JavaScript, slide shows etc. In 15 years as an SEO consultant, if there's one common denominator evident on websites, it's that there is a profound reluctance to expend time, money, and creative energy on unique text content. Brevity is the watchword - economical use of words is encouraged by design, branding and marketing advisers! * The branding gurus want you to use the textual equivalent of sound bites - bullet points and short sentences! * The website designers want the entire content of the page to be above ...

How to Write Web Copy

Actionable tips for software developers writing web copy. Scan Web site visitors read websites very differently than they might read a book or a newspaper. Web visitors scan the text, rather than reading each and every word. As a result, the web copy should be designed to be easily scannable. That is not to say the copy should not be well written, but it should be broken into small "chunks" so that the visitor can easily scan it and take away the main idea. White Space Avoid dense copy. Copy should be broken into readable, digestible "chunks" and surrounded by a good amount of white space. Font Type Font size matters. Avoid using micro fonts. Studies have shown that the easiest type faces to read on the Internet are san serif fonts. Popular sans fonts include Helvetica, Avant Garde, and Arial. Popular serif fonts include Times Roman, Courier, and Palatino. Sans-serif fonts have become the de facto standard for "body" text on-screen, because monitors pr...

The REAL Value of Keywords

An important question in SEO is how much intrinsic value resides in a specific keyword and, whether SEO has the potential to take everybody on a fool's errand? When it comes to bigger companies, for instance, can a massive SEO investment in trying to achieve top ranking for almost-generic, ultra-competitive keywords be worth all the disappointment and soul-searching? Surely, in so many cases, there has to be a better way? At the other end of the scale are smaller companies with a limited marketing budget, particularly in the business-to-business sphere. There is often a fine balance to achieve when it comes to investing in SEO for what can only be low-traffic keywords in niche sectors, even where higher gross margins per sale indicate otherwise. Realizing this, many companies will skip the on-line sales dance, or resign themselves to having a website that is little more than an 'on-line brochure' presence or a support mechanism for Pay-Per-Click or social media activities. ...
