How To Have Websites Built For You The Cheap Way

Normally, if you want to have professional designers custom build your site, you must be prepared to dish out at least a thousand dollars. All this can change if you know where to find the best deals, the best designs for the lowest price. Here's a rough guide:

You need to know which Category you fall into:

1. Someone who has the time and ability to learn what to do in order to get a website up and running, make it successful & run it yourself
   OR
2. Someone who has not got either the time or ability to run their own site.

If you are the first one you have come to the right place, we can show you how we do it here.

If you are the second type of person you need to understand this: A professional company has the know-how to do the following:

1. Planning the site first - business plan, marketing plan & Financial forecasting.
2. Building the site - this is building it and getting it READY to make money
3. Executing the site - hitting the GO button on your planning in order to role the plan into action.
   

This take a long time to learn! You may be best off contacting a company who will charge you properly for these services.

Buying a cheap website is crazy if no planning has been done, if the company you go with says they do planning with a $2000 site, they wont be in business long as all businesses have costs and overheads. Make sure the planning is being quoted as many many many web designers are really just graphic designers who create great looking graphics of a website and then send it to a programmer to cut up and into a website for you.

In this case you have a designer and a programmer working for you - you have no planning, forecasting or anything to do with making sure your online site will give a return on investment! Planning is critical!
