Who hasn’t uttered the words “if you want something done around here, you got to do it yourself”? Come on, raise your hand and admit it. Practically speaking there are times when that is true and there is nothing wrong with that.
So here in a recent series of articles we have been taking a look at tangible examples of existing web sites that will give us a visual aide of what type of options we have in building our web page. Today we are going to examine the D.I.Y. Options and how a couple of them work.
Before we dive into the deep end we take our traditional moment to emphasize to you that these examples are not endorsements for these sites nor are we telling you not to use these sites. We are simply showing you real life applications that should be helpful to you.
We can start out ravels by pulling up http://build-website.com/index.html. When you arrive at the site the overall lay out is very pleasant and moderately simple. The featured options are very clear and easy to navigate.
The Home Page features a banner ad at the top of the page directing you to hosting services, which you will need to learn about and utilize. They do not present their company tag with a logo but it is quite prominent in the top center of the page. I have always felt a logo is important and that it didn’t have to be complicated. But it does give your potential customer a picture to remember in case the name is forgotten, but it is not the: be all to end all. Obviously this company did not see it as a must.
Right beneath the name of the site and the tag line there is a box offering 4 options. Below this box is a section that offers the same options but offers a brief description of what each option provides. At the very bottom of the page there are options of web site related topics and procedures you will need to learn and apply.
The beauty of these options is they are geared for the beginner, the novice, and the experienced web designer and manager. Now as you click on each option you are brought to a home page of sorts directing you through the various thins you will need to know or applications you can consider. It is very extensive and yet thorough, which is a great combination to have.
Each page also features a couple affiliate banners and a menu guide, also a killer combo. Each page presents plenty of choices and a plentiful supply of information and helpful direction. And yet it is not cluttered. This is a good example for your site.
But hold there! This close – up is also an example of how you can search for web pages like this that help you build and design your own page and seek out your own hosting!
Now if you feel you are not quite ready or up to speed to this undertaking there is another type of option. You could use the services of a host service that provides you with the tools to create and somewhat design your own web page.
Get on your Internet travel machine and now visit http://wordpress.com/. Here we see a whole lot more on the Home Page. And yet at the same time it is relatively easy to navigate. There are a considerable number of banner ads on the right center of the page. On the right are some directions to do it yourself options.
Scrolling down to the bottom of the Home Page there is a couple menus of sorts. Under the heading “On WordPress.com” gives you some do it yourself services to choose from. Next to that and to the right are some other applications to choose from and check out.
Word Press is an interesting option because it offers various levels of do it yourself options but it also provides some of the more advanced parts for you. As a web page it is an example of how you can offer your service or products and maintain a strong affiliate program.
At the end of the day you should take some time to review the options you have to care for your own page needs. At the very least it will be a learning experience and you will understand more of the workings of the Internet. On the other hand you can begin or expand your desire to have your very own Internet business.
