NOTT MARKETING SERVICES

You may be launching a home-based business to supplement your income in this economic recession. Business loans are hard to come by, credit is getting more expensive, and you decide you will save money and publish your own website.

You search online and find hundreds of places that advertise ‘free websites’ or ‘free hosting’, and sign up for one. Until you get into the process, you realize your choice of free templates don't actually fit your business image. In other words, they are unattractive and outdated in appearance. Font and color choices may not quite express your sense of polish or professionalism.

You upload photos into the sitebuilder, and they aren't displaying correctly, they take a long time to load in, and you don't know why. Your 'free web host' sticks advertisements and links all over your presentation. Your open source shopping cart platform seems to be written in a foreign language and there is no support outside some online forum. You have no idea how to make your email form send mail. You are lured into a contract by an offer for a 'free domain name', only to have it hijacked out of your ownership when you decide to change hosts. You publish your site and aren't getting any visitors at all, having no idea what will get your website noticed by Google, Bing and AOL.

There are some do-it-yourself website builders that offer modern, compliant software that looks professional and is reasonably priced. When we locate these resources, we recommended them to those who require total control over their product. We check into our competition, and actually steer folks in their direction when they are a better fit. We offer consultation to polish up some of these do-it-yourself projects should the need arise for a little guidance.

Unless you have plenty of time on your hands to learn the rules, we do not recommend making your company's first website on your own.
