I guess there are more “How to Get Rich” websites then there are websites actually selling a product.

The reason for this is most people do not know how to make money online so instead of building a website that sells a real product or service (something they are unable to do) they build websites that sell information on how to make money online.

If I said that 98% of all websites online are not making money, I’d feel like that number was too low.

The sad truth is that there a more people designing websites then there are people making money with their websites. Most Web designers use call centers, newspaper ads, yellow page ads, and other means of off-line advertising to drum up customers.

I am telling you this because I want you to understand that making a living online is not something easily done. It takes hard work and dedication or lots of money.
There are certain steps needed to make a living online and none of the step are more important than the next.

The first of course is the website design.

The purpose of the website design is to get the attention of the web visitor. When someone lands on the site you have 3 seconds to get their attention and keep them interested.

The website design does not need to be flashy, fancy or show off the talent of a Web designer however it does need to be clean, easy to navigate, easy-to-understand, quick to load and have a call to action that will guide the web visitor in the direction you want them to go.

It sounds like we are taking all the hard work out of the Web design by removing the fancy flashy look but that is far from the truth.

The color of the cart button, the background color, the placement of the call to action, the size of the logo, colors used on the site, text size, text color, font, phone number placement, content, and so much more will affect the reaction of the web visitor when they are on the site.

Other words, a truly affective website is an art unto itself.

The problem is that we want to chase the dream of making a living online. Most people start with affiliate marketing however it doesn’t take long to realize that it’s not so easy to make things work.

The site has to be able to get traffic and convert traffic.

Building a website that is able to convert the traffic is an art unto itself and we’ve not even gotten into the ranking of the site.

The ranking is nothing more than hands on hard ass work coupled with an understanding of how the search engines work and most importantly how people search. I’ve seen many websites rank for some competitive keywords in the correct niche but want convert because they weren’t close enough to what people were searching for.
Other words, you can rank in the top ten for “website design” but if you are trying to sale templates you want make the sale. And there is no reason to even talk about selling templates and ranking for “custom website design”.

However, you can rank for “website design” and sell search engine optimization.
People are funny sometimes.

Anyway back to my point.

After a couple weeks of working hard and not being able to turn a profit we figure we need to change our business model.
We start charging people to market their site.

We get paid in advance and can either continue to look for new clients while trying to string old clients along or we can actually try and do right and use the client’s site as a learning experimental for our future clients.

Let me rephrase that because we are not doing right by our current clients. They are getting screwed no matter which direction we go in because we don’t have a clue what we are doing.

The current client begins getting upset so we take off to a forum to make a post for help.

Not knowing much about how the search engines work we post the clients address into the post http://www.carhiredalamanairportturkey.com .

Now, one day the client is going to do a search for that name and guess what they are going to find?

Web Designers

If you are looking to have a custom website designed there are some things you need to keep in mind.

1. Make sure your website designer is able to build a clean professional looking site, no matter if it’s for personal use or for business.

2. Now days technology and web design are constantly changing and it’s important that you not get caught up in a fad that is hot today and will be frowned upon tomorrow.

3. Listen to and trust in your web designer, consider that your personal taste for your website design may differ from your visitors.

4. Remember, it’s the small details that add to the overall image of your website.

5. When adding content to your website keep in mind that your website visitors could care less about you or your website, they only want to know, what’s in it for them.

6. Make sure that your web designer is designing the site with the different screen resolutions and browsers in mind.

7. Graphics are an important part of your web design. Make sure your web designer uses graphics for making your site look stylish and professional and does not over do it. The graphics and animations you include should not interfere with the navigation of your website.

A website with too many gadgets and graphics may affect the experience your visitors have while on your site.

Simple will get better results.

At the end of the day you should be building a website to not only make money but to add something to the internet. Provide unique and meaningful content or products that will allow your web design to stand out from the crowd.
