Cheap Website Design – Incredibly Easy

Not long ago if you wanted a website you’d probably have to hire a website designer to build it. Unless you happened to know anything about HTML programming or Perl scripting, you didn’t have much choice. Today, however, many of these web designers are finding lots of competition with cheap website design options.

Websites can provide information, sell products, collect information, entertain, help us communicate, and just about anything in between. Simple information only websites are cheaper to put together. Anything that needs memberships and passwords or payment processing is going to cost more.

It doesn’t matter why you want a website, the new template based sites are your best choice for many reasons. They are affordable, user friendly, and can be as comprehensive as you want. Shopping carts that tally taxes and shipping rates and even RSS feeds can be added for less than what you spend on coffee each week.

You can also use one of these template sites and hire one of their staff programmers or designers to set up your entire site for you for under $300. A few years ago just to get a comparable site built from scratch, you were looking at $1,000 or more!

Not only are these template sites user friendly and cheap, you maintain complete control over your site at all times. If you have a web design company taking care of your site for you, there could be not only a significant lag between asking for updates and seeing them, the fees you would be charged would be almost astronomical. Companies would charge almost $100 just to upload a few photos! Something you can do now all by yourself in less a minute!

Changes that you make are immediately visible. Some sites do you require that you use FTP software, but it’s transparent. You might need to keep hitting a button that says “publish”, and until you do this, your changes won’t appear. Other sites simply ask you to “save” each page as you edit, and these changes as well are immediately visible.

When you maintain control, your changes are immediate. News reports, sales, and even typos will be seen right away once you save your work. These systems still use FTP software, but unlike the days when you needed to be familiar with C Panels and the use of FTP uploading and server locations, all this is built into the template. Simple make edits like you would to any document, hit save or publish, and you’re done!

If you happen to be using a third party to do all this for you, seriously consider saving some money and bringing all this in house. Find a template company online and transfer all your files over. This is really no more difficult than changing your DNS settings (the template companies have detailed instructions in the help and FAQ sections on how to do this).

These companies have excellent customer service, usually 7 days a week, and plenty of online tutorials to get you up and running. Once you see the money you can save, you’ll wonder why you hadn’t done this before.
